Sonos Voice Control, launched in 2022, has broadened its features to include timers and weather checks. Upcoming expansions will add compatibility with Philips Hue, allowing voice control over lighting. Acquired in 2019, the Snips company developed a privacy-focused AI voice platform for Sonos. This smart assistant offers alternatives to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, enabling users to manage audio settings and streaming services while prioritizing user privacy. Specifics on controlling Hue lights remain unclear, with additional information anticipated at a future Philips Hue media event in September 2025.
Since its launch in 2022, Sonos Voice Control has expanded capabilities to include setting timers and checking the weather. By the end of this year, it will introduce compatibility with the Philips Hue smart home platform.
Sonos Voice Control was introduced as an alternative to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, enabling users to adjust volume, group speakers, or play songs from streaming services, with an emphasis on privacy.
Interoperability with Philips Hue will be the first time Sonos Voice Control is compatible with another smart home platform. Users may command individual lights, brightness adjustments, and scene activations.
There are pending details about how Hue lights can be controlled with Sonos Voice Control, with further information expected during the IFA show in Berlin on September 3rd, 2025.
