Sonos shutting down local voice option Snips? @Sonos @snips
Sonos shutting down local voice option Snips – Home Assistant.
It’s that time of the year. The time when it’s cold outside, it’s cozy and warm inside, we’re spending time with friends and family, and time for big companies to drop local accessible technology …
On November 20, 2019, Sonos announced that they had acquired Snips earlier that month. Snips was a popular option for people to get local voice control in their homes.
In the same month of the acquisition, Snips has announced that they are shutting down their console for users. The console allows users to train their system with custom sentences and intents. By shutting this down, it is no longer possible to make any changes to your local Snips system.
The 2 options at this time see to be Rhasspy, and Almond & Ada (Home Assistant).
