Is there a way to join a HomePod to a Sonos speaker?
I’ve got a mix of speaker, dumb I know, and I can hit a button and the Sonos in the bathroom joins the speaker in the living room, but is there a way to join a HomePod and a Sonos together?
Did you get an answer to this?
One way might be to create a mixed media helper group containing both Sonos and HomePods.
Caveat: for playing music, I haven’t tried this mixed helper group - I just tend to use iTunes Airplay function directly, and that works OK on the mix of devices.
For TTS announcements, I have been able to get the sounds out of both devices using a media helper group, BUT they are out of sync. (Something to do with the HomePod being accessed through AppleTV integration and Sonos through the native AirSonos integration. The Sonos always plays first, followed a second later by the HomePod.) I thought a solution might be to Join the media players, but it appears HA doesn’t support joining HomePods in any fashion.)
