Keeping true to Google's promise to deliver more products and third party services for Google Home, Sony, and Android TV have joined the ecosystem to offer more entertainment and convenience.

Sony said that the all chrome cast built-in Android TV and speakers will receive the latest firmware update for Google's personal assistant and smart hub. Hence, a voice command "OK Google, play some music on my Sony speaker" will automatically start the audio on the user's preferred speaker.
