If you have multiple products in your household, we recommend adding the same Google account to each product for a consistent experience throughout your home.
In the Bose Music app, tap the My Bose icon in the top-left corner
Select the product to which you want to add the Google Assistant
Tap the product image in the bottom-right corner
Tap Settings > Voice Assistant and select the Google Assistant
Follow the app instructions to link your Google account
Say, “Hey Google” to wake your product, or touch the action button ○ on your product, then make a request. For example:
- Hey Google, play some hip-hop
- Hey Google, do I need an umbrella today?
- Hey Google, next song
- Hey Google, set a timer for 10 minutes
- Hey Google, what’s the weather?
If you have multiple products, control a specific one by saying the name you gave your product in the Bose Music app. For example, if you named your product “Kitchen”, say “Hey Google, play hip-hop in the kitchen”.
To start a music service with a voice request, make sure that you add the service in your Google Home app by going to Settings > Linked Media Accounts. Note: Not all music services can be started by a voice request
