    Sonos’ smart assistant is expanding from music to home control

    Since its launch in 2022, the capabilities of Sonos Voice Control have expanded to include setting timers and checking the weather. But by the end of this year, the smart assistant will introduce compatibility with the Philips Hue smart home platform allowing it to also control lights through voice commands, according to Hueblog.

    In late 2019, Sonos acquired a Paris-based company called Snips that had created a “private-by-design” AI voice platform. Nearly three years later, Sonos Voice Control was introduced offering users an alternative to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for controlling the company’s smart speakers with voice commands. Sonos Voice Control can be used to adjust volume, group multiple Sonos speakers together, or play songs from streaming services including Apple Music and Spotify, with an emphasis on privacy since all commands are processed locally and never sent to the cloud.

    Its capabilities have slowly expanded over the past few years, but interoperability with Philips Hue would be the first time Sonos Voice Control is compatible with another smart home platform. Specifics on how exactly you can control Hue lights with the smart assistant aren’t known, but Hueblog speculates that users will be able to turn individual lights on and off, adjust brightness, or activate scenes using voice commands. More details will potentially be revealed at a media event that Philips Hue has planned for September 3rd, 2025, during the IFA show in Berlin where it typically announces new products and services.

    The Verge has reached out to Sonos about this potential major expansion of Sonos Voice Control’s capabilities.
