Question

What did you use for smart speakers in separate rooms? I want to have them connected to my google hub and can select example play music in all rooms or play music in Room A & Room B only.  

Answer 1

HEOS, MusicCast, and Alexa will not do what you're asking about. To connect to your GH hub you're limited to GH speakers, which work very nicely for me in my smaller rooms; Sonos speakers, which have only limited GH compatibility, and a Chormecast dongle connected to an HDMI input on an amplifier, which is how I connected my home audio to play in sync with my GH hub.  

Answer 2

I installed HEOS, MusicCast and Sonos. I have MusicCast at home.  

Answer 3

I have Sonos speakers. They work great with Alexa. I also have google home devices, but i rarely use those other than the display in the kitchen we use for cooking timers. I think sonos works well with google home, though. i have 4 Play1's, 1 Play3 and a One and am very happy with the setup

Answer 4

I just use Alexa. You can set up groups.  

Answer 5

Alexa groups

Answer 6

Echo Dots, Echo 3rd Gen, Echo Show 2 and Fire TVs in use here set up in groups.  

Answer 7

Sonos as well as a few echo devices, by grouping the smart speaker with lights / shades in each room you can shorten your command to turn on/off lights and itll just do the ones in that room

Answer 8

Heos doesn't work with Google? Odd. I use that with alexa and it's fine. I can adjust volume verbally. Wife approves

Answer 9

I’ve bose ST 10/20/300/700 connected beautifully with alexa and other systems
