I have subscribed to nabu casa ha cloud. I want to use sentence to control devices. Is it possible to interact using sentences with sonos speakers?
Sonos send the recorded commands to a predefined site, so you will have to get the commands back from there to HA through the cloud.
I can’t remember if it is using Alexa or Google assistant, so you will have to look into that and then into the integration for those.
Can you explain what that means and how you’d set that up. The whole point of having Sonos and HA is to keep Amazon and Google out of my home.
I might have misunderstood the intent here and maybe not.
It is possible to use sentences to control the sonos speakers.
It is however not possible to use the microphone in the sonos speakers unless you go through the service the voice assistant is hardcoded for.
Thank you!
So, I guess if I want to avoid Alexa and Google then I have to do the solution with ATOM Echo with Nabu Casa, and I can use Sonos Voice Assistant to control the Sonos, but use ATOM Echo to do everything else.
Yes.
Al though it does not have to be only Atom Echo you use.
There are other choices with same privacy.
And also that nice thing that both Sonos Voice control and HA can be used to control the Sonos system.
Sonos Voice will control it directly and HA will control it through the integration.
