Works like this:

- You long press (=set) one of the favourite buttons on the BS1/2 with the Google Assistant and then you speak up a command, eg. "Play my playlist xxx from Spotify" or "set the living room lights to 60%" or "how will the weather be tomorrow". That saves the query in the specific button

- At any later point in time you simply press the button to invoke that saved command. So you press the button and your playlist just starts playing. Or the lights turn on, or you get the latest weather forecast

Deezer on Google Home is available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Supported languages for Deezer on Google Home include: English, French, German, and Italian. More languages are due in the future.

Just had my Beosound 1 GA delivered.

I replaced my BS1 MKi. Its a significant improvement in sound I must say, compared to the old version. Much clearer voice and midrange. 

Nice to be able to select e.g radiostations from TuneIn using GA. Eventually I´m sure Deezer will proviide GA support in my country.

Will add some lights to control as well.

One thing to know if you have more B&O devices in your home and add a e.g a BS1 GA is:

When telling Google Assistant to play something from e.g Google, its Chromecast that is activated. This mean that you cannot join from another multiroom speaker. I think that is a drawback,

So in order to play to my other sources (in sync) I need to create groups with them in Google Home.

Would be better that GA could work with the local sources, so that multiroom is handled over B&O.

It has never been possible to redirect a casted session (= no joining within the B&O NL).

This is not new with the BS1/GA - blame Google for that.

Live with the cast groups (some say benefit from it)......or use the good old ‘non -voice B&O multiroom function’, when playing from internal TuneIN.

Hi Petrosbeli... thanks for the clarification, I did know that already but I guess this will benefit anyone reading this thread who wasn't aware.  

What I wanted to know was whether or not it is possible to set one of the preset buttons to activate one of the sources in the BeoSound 1's local list (when you go into the Settings --> Your Content ---> Sources ---> In Local List)

From what I can determine, at present, it is not possible to, say, set one of the preset buttons to play the audio from the BV Avant 55" mk2 or to set one of the buttons to activate multiroom sending the audio to another B&O speaker.  

It seems that for the time being we are forced to double press the centre button to change source, which is fine... but it would have been better if they made it possible to set the preset buttons to interact with your B&O equipment.  I think because the preset buttons are tied-in and perhaps proprietary with Google Assistant, that B&O have not been able to get Google to add this functionality, which is a shame.

Can anyone confirm this or clarify?  My apologies if anyone has cleared this up already, but I just wanted extra clarification/confirmation... I am slowly beginning to accept the limitations of the preset buttons.

Let's flag this with B&O and if enough people request it, just maybe they will try and implement it?
