I tried the local voice assistant on my Sonos a while back and did like how well it worked to play music but at the time it didn’t support Spotify so it was a no-go. Do they now?

Do you know whether it supports locations and timers? For example I can tell Alexa “Play Eminem in the Family Room for one hour”

Can confirm timer works - set a 5 minute timer for playing music in the family room).

Spotify does work with Sonos now (I don’t use it but I have my account set up with it), but voice control does not work with Spotify.

Thanks. Sorry for being unclear: I use Spotify on my Sonos speakers all the time but was concerned about Sonos Voice working with Spotify. I guess it’s still a “no”

FYI- I received an email the other day that sonos officially added voice control for Spotify!

Excellent! Thanks for posting: I’ll have to give it a try
