Hello Sieghard Thanks much. I did not even know that Sonos One can be setup to use Google Assistant. Can you perhaps point me to a site where I can read about setting up Alexa and Google Assistant or does one find info in the Sonos Controler help system?

Obviously the Google Assistant has its advantages in terms of knowing much more than Alexa when it comes to general questions, asking for phone numbers for businesses, making calls etc., but Alexa also has advantages since Audible is supported and so on. Unfortunately so far you do have to choose between the 2, you can change it from time to time but they are not yet both supported simultaneously although I believe it is Sonos’ goal to achieve this. We currently have our Sonos One stereo set in the kitchen set up for Google Assistant and our Sonos One stereo pair in the bathroom for Alexa. It’s nice to have Google in the kitchen since it’s much easier to ask for reccipes, the integration with our new GE cook stove works better and certain other of our home automation also seems to work better on the Google Assistant.
