Status for 27-08-2022 - this is still not working for x2700h, home sees it as "device" without multimedia features. I use Chromecast as music source and home assistant as pilot for it... but it is advertised as working out of the box with google assistant - no, it is not.

2 years later and i can't still start a track with Google Home Mini...

4 years later im still not able to tell google to play specific songs on my denon...

Denon.. you can do better than this. 5 months and still no updates to what would be expected in a premium device... whats happening??

Support for changing sources would be an excellent next step!

So far Denon has let me down hard. Their hardware is great, but their software is sub-par at best. In the HEOS app, it seems impossible to sort folders on my network drive in alphabetical order, which is hilariously frustrating. On the other hand, when you add an album to the playlist, the track order IS alphabetical, not in the order they should be by album track number. What the hell is up with that? And I for one wasn't able to get it working with Google assistant at all. Also, what's with indexing a maximum of 40'000 tracks, mentioned on the website? My Music archive is easily more than twice that large. HEOS sounded like a great idea when I bought it, but it feels very outdated software wise once you start using it. A shame really.

This guy, Robby Kilgore, stopped at Denon in dec. 2019 and I suspect that’s why nothing have happened to the google home features since then. 😢

Thanks for the video. Although the steps have changed somewhat, this helped me attach my Cinema 60 to Google- although voice control appears to be extremely limited. Was hoping for more...

I've done all the steps but google home still says that it cannot find the living room tv and to make its connected to thr internet? My Denon Receiver isconnected to the internet.

I cannot control my x2600H by GH too. Receiver is set as an alarm in assistant app. No way to change this . Commands are not working. GH cannot find device or finding it randomly. Its a joke . Denon Please remove google assistant sticker from your product!

Denon... a year later, has there been any update??

It seems that I have a different issue than all of you. My AVR-S950H is not recognized as a speaker by GH and so nothing is possible to do then with GH. Tried to unlink and relink HEOS on GH a few time without any success. I bought this amp for specifically GH compatibility so I'm really thinking about bringing it back to the shop.

I can use an Echo Dot Speaker with a 3.5mm jack to RCA out to the receiver and use the Alexa voice control, that works!

Unfortunately I'm still not able to play music on my Home Cinema HS1 through Google Home Mini or Assistant. Bluetooth adapter is setup properly (Spotify can directly stream to it as a BT device) on HC. The HC is listed as Home Cinema Bluetooth in HEOS app. In Google Home app HC is successfully added as the default speaker for playing music. Default service for playing music is set to Spotify. When requesting on the Mini or Assistant to play music on the HC, Assistant tells me music can be played anywhere except on this speaker 😩 Am I doing something wrong or are there limitations which limit functionality set by HEOS/Denon, Spotify or by Assistant? Also, why do I need a BT adapter for the HC being listed in Google Home? I would expect this to work through WiFi or ethernet connection directly, just like the rest of the stuff that works with the Mini and Assistant... Using these products in The Netherlands (EU), a solution on this will be very appreciated 🙂

Almost 2 years later, any new feature available ? Can't we just swich on/off the AVR using GH ?

"Setup is fast and simple" - and does not work as it should. Heos Bar.

Doesn't seem like I can tell it to start a song or stream, definitely can't cast from Google to heos. Prettyuch worthless if I can't tell it to play KZfaq

Is it also possible to add the Denon device to a Google Speaker Group? I just tried it with my Denon 150 speaker. The procedure you show here worked. However, it seems I can't add the speaker to a group with Google Home speakers. Can you confirm? If this does not work: Can we expect an update? When?

Damn, it works......who needs a remote controller.

i was debating denon 2500h or sony 1080, aftrer this i will probably not go denon helios sound bad. need google assistant to work with the amp.

Are those voice command automatically translated to other Google assistant supported languages or do I need to use English voice commands to control the receiver. I have exactly the same receiver but it doesn't work for me atm. I have added the receiver in Google home

I can tell google home devices to play music and then after it starts I can tell it to play on my heos receiver, and it works, but I cannot just say play music on the heos device in one step. Bugs in Google home

Is this functionality still “coming soon”

Hey, i have trouble getting things to work correctly. I can turn my reciever on and off with assistant. i can also change volume. But i cant get it to play any music. google is telling me, he cant, but he can play it on another device. In this case my smartphone, wich is working fine. if i start playing music on spotify on the phone and telling google to continue playing music on the reciever, google says there is a unknown problem in the resiever. Is it that important to give the reciever the same name in heos as in google home the room name like u did? since i have a connetion in case of turning it on and changing the volume i cant imgagine.

Is this going to be yet another Heos/Google scandal? First we were promised built in chromecsst and now Google assistant. Let see if Denon craps on us again 🙂

My AVR-X4500H is not recognized as a speaker by Google Home...Link and UnLink and nothing...hi Denon, can you help me?!

What this video does not explain is that in order to play music in HEOS, it first needs to start playing elsewhere and then transfer to HEOS. They do explain this in the step by step set-up in their website. Once you tell your device "Continue playing in (HEOS device)" then it will switch the audio output. What a headache Denon...

can I do that same with apple HomePod and Spotify connection?

I have a Denon S760H and I added it to my HEOS account and setup my Google Assistant Speaker to control the power on/off functionality of the receiver. That part is working fine. However I cannot play content on the receiver using my voice commands to control the google assistant. I get a device not found. What am I doing wrong?

More than a year later. Still no update.

Ok, please help! because I am about te return the reciever. I connected the receiver to googlle home but I can´t add it into a home group with more speakers. Like in the bedroom etc. I tought the reciever would see it as a speaker in google home but the it´s sees it as a device. So I can´t add it in a home group. I can use the google audio dongle to make it a smart speaker system which I did. Connected to phone outlet but the sound quality is rubbish then plus it´s old fashioned to do this. So, does anyone know how to add this device in a speaker group in google home?

Can you add heos speakers to a Google speaker group?

Can't turn on and off the x1600h receiver, with assistant. It says ,,that device hasn't ben set up yet". Put quick select keys of avr on Google routines

This works perfectly not. I am just looking for a way to start my heos speaker as an alarm clock to wake up. A shame, that there is no in app solution for this. I don't want to use the google assistant or alexa to control my speakers. Why can't you guys simply add a clock feature to the heos app itselfe?

Hi can you please confirm denon rcd-n11dab can connect with rc-n9 speakers and also add one middle speaker yamaha ns-p51?

Hi, so what is the easiest way to control Spotify? Through airplay (where GH can control all things) or through HEOS?

Thank you!

hello, sorry but it goes too fast from the 1mn 25.....you have to click or ? thank you.

This doesn't work at all. Google assistant simply tells me that I need to select which device to use despite having told it which device to use!

In the video you say that you now can play list. How can i do that with google assistant. I have a playlist in heos.

I spent 1000.00 for their amp.(receiver) I thought the heos system would work. It sucks. Buy a different system.

It worked for about a month on my AVR-S730H. Now Google home only controls the HEOS input (volume etc.). Will not control the volume on any other inputs.

Can you put the HEOS devices into a speaker group in the google home app?

Is chromecast built in? Sometimes I don't want to talk and just cast from my phone.

Not working - it shows as Alarm 🚨 device.

we have a lot of heos and nothing of it works well

tried it it does not work at all.....it says I do not recognise the dece nice try

I have a denon heos 7, is there any way I can bring in chromecast feature into this by integrating any small device. Apart from spotify connect, want to use this device for playing music which streams via chromecast

Is possible control the volume when denon is in tv mode? I know control the volume the denon in modo bluethooth, i want to control the volume the tv sound that out in my denon using google home

Hmm.. define ‘soon’ :-) I want to have a channel played on HEOS but that seems not possible sofar

When I change the language in Englisch on my IOS it worked. Thanks

Hey Google - Play Radio 1 on SoundHeos (soundHeos is the name of the heos system) - Failed...

Still no Google play music.

How can i turn on/off my DENON HOME 150 by voice commands with google assistant

its only control the Heos app,before you could control the reciever volym when you see a movie.

Can google assistant turn on your AV?

Well I found a way for it to sort of work, get music playing first on your google mini, then do what he says in the video and then say okay google, continue in "livingroom"

Awesome

Can we change HDMI channel with Google assistant?

Why didn’t Denon put google music on the list like Spotify or Tidal?

Can you start a song by with voice commands yet?

Can I cast from KZfaq Music or Google Play Music?

Denon, please get your "stuff" together. Give us ankick@ssapp and functionality. Keep up with the customers who want to buy Denon because of sound quality. Heos app is prehistoric, functionalities missing. Even Denon's participation on social media is poor. You've got the hardware, please complete the picture and give customers what they need!

When is the Amp hs2 supported ?

SHOWING GOOGLE ASSISTANT ON A IPHONE? REALLY.

How about first telling us how to connect the app to your device???

Does this support turning the receiver on/off by voice?

I’m a Deezer HiFi subscriber and thus far I cannot stream in HEOS app in no better than 320kbps MP3. Gotta use the Deezer App my iPhone and use AirPlay. It’s pointless to have a DENON AVR and a whole Denon environment with HEOS home speakers all over the house if I must stream in lame MP3 sound quality. No responses from DENON despite my contact attempts... Shame on you Denon

So disappointet!!!!! No applemusic, no alexa connection over bluetooth, no nesthub over bluetooth. How do i have to play music with heos over google nest hub??? No example nothing... hundreds of euros for nothing

Cheap Chinese speakers have better control then Heos. What a shame for Denon! Living in EU, have English language on my android phone but still can't control these overpriced devices

the sound is not good I am quite disappointed

cool

When i trie to connect my HEOS account to Google home, i cant see the login page. I only see 2 buttons... do you have any idea?

Kinda garbage, still no chrome cast integration damn. Guess Play-Fi it is :/

False advertising all the way from the start. Big old asterisk next to smart home compatibility.

Ok

What about other languages like polish?

Ok now for the 100$(USD), question. What if I were less inclined to use one of the most reassuringly expensive, or in the case of Sound Cloud, outrigh sh-- tier streaming services. As you have listed them, (The vast majority *THANKFULLY* of which are excluse to North Amaerica ONLY!). When might you suppose that I might be able to cast my Google Play Music Library, of purchased Albums to my AVR X2500H? Considering how gimped Spotify on this system is. At least I could cast it from my Shield TV. Apparently, that's not good enough here, and would require me to pay the toll to basicly do what I have always done up to this point. If you have to pimp out to these idiotic money leachers. Could you at least find one that streamed something of interest like proper multi channel DSD files? This to me probably would be worth 9.95$(USD), a month. But, I wish you would just allow us to use our Google Play Music Accounts on our Devices instead.
