Hello following problem: I bought a Sonos One with Google Assist. Everything is set up and works in Sonos and Google Assist. Unfortunately I can’t select the Sonos One in the “Cast a text to Google” app. I wanted to send voice messages from Homey to the Sonos-one via Google. Everything works with the other Google Minis. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for an answer 😉 ![cast](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/a/bafb66fb1d83eaa71299b62f88f5f99420f142c2.png) ---

Try the Sonos card instead > ![Screenshot from 2023-11-15 00-21-26](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/7/079e6e8e52efc3ae641e66c75992e3948f18cad5.png) But that wasn’t what you meant probably. If possible, add the Sonos-one as a Chromecast device to Homey, just like you did with your Ggl Home mini & nest mini. Then you’d be able to select the Sonos with the ‘cast text to google’ card. No Sonos here, so it’s theoretical 😉 ---

Good morning Peter I think only Google devices (yellow marking) are recognized in the Cast app. Both Sonos devices with Google Assit. (One, Wohnzimmer - green marking) are not recognized as a Google cast (Mac address?). ![WhatsApp Bild 2023-11-15 um 09.54.17_5208c485](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/b/cb904e5f5ccf4dbf9c43037da383a1d8b4ba11e9.jpeg) If you have activated the Sonos in the homey app and Google Home, the Sonos are displayed twice. 1. from the Sonos app 2. from the Homey app ![WhatsApp Bild 2023-11-15 um 10.00.40_a33e3cca](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/3/a30a1f267b99f5ec441580e14e8f85a530f95714.jpeg) ![WhatsApp Bild 2023-11-15 um 10.00.40_cf5bef9f](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/3/13b27b2335446a9d542c21c9b6dfa4e40e2cdc4c.jpeg) Ok, so everything is logical at first. ![son2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/a/aadcaaccc618b76f2701cb752f37e954955e68d5.png) It’s a little more work with the flow - but OK. I found two great functions on this occasion: 😉 🙂 ![son](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/c/1c0fda9b664c88b2ce0c2edc7b5ffadf8a044993.png) Problem solved ! 👍 Best regards ---

But it works through the back door 😜 ![WhatsApp Bild 2023-11-15 um 15.15.20_547e0be1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/b/2b05031ceac7eeec8b8eb0a6a7b39222eadc5823.jpeg) ---

Hi Arne, I see there’s multiple ways to get it to work! Great find! > [@Friedhofsblond](#): > > I think only Google devices (yellow marking) are recognized in the Cast app. > Both Sonos devices with Google Assit. (One, Wohnzimmer - green marking) are not recognized as a Google cast (Mac address?). A question though, What I meant with this: > [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > add the Sonos-one as a Chromecast device to Homey, just like you did with your Ggl Home mini & nest mini was this: ![Screenshot_20231115-164611_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/4/e4b0f730d5de12296a6bdd2bdb846098112a07ca.jpeg) Install a Google Chromecast device, and, if it presents itself, pick the Sonos I’m curious if that works. It should when it’s Google Assist enabled in my opinion. ---

Good morning, Unfortunately the trick with Chromcast doesn’t work. 😉 (Chromcast app and Google Assistant are activated in homey) The devices for the “Cast a text to Google” app are automatically available through synchronization with “Google Assistant”. (as far as I understood everything) ![cast3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/b/bb727a2777ee087c972d8f41f9c25697178b5f5a.png)
