But what if you want to use your voice to control your music? Or what if you want to integrate your LG Music Flow system with other smart home products, such as lights, cameras, and thermostats? Well, you're in luck, because LG has announced that it will update its Music Flow system with Google Home and Multiroom support next month.
What is Google Home?
Google Home is a smart speaker that works with the Google Assistant, a virtual assistant that can answer your questions, perform tasks, and control compatible smart home devices. You can use Google Home to play music, check the weather, set reminders, control your lights, and more. You can also use Google Home to cast audio to other speakers that support Chromecast built-in or Google Cast.
What is Multiroom?
Multiroom is a feature that lets you group multiple speakers together and play the same or different music on each of them. You can create groups using the Google Home app or by using voice commands. For example, you can say "Hey Google, play jazz on all speakers" or "Hey Google, play rock on the living room speaker".
How will LG Music Flow work with Google Home and Multiroom?
According to LG, the update will allow you to use Google Home devices as voice controllers for your LG Music Flow system. You will be able to ask Google Home to play music on your LG speakers or soundbars, adjust the volume, skip tracks, and more. You will also be able to group your LG Music Flow devices with other Chromecast-enabled speakers and create multi-room audio zones.
The update will also enable high-resolution audio streaming up to 24-bit/192kHz on LG Music Flow devices that support it. This means you will be able to enjoy higher quality sound from your favorite music services or local files.
When will the update be available?
LG has not given a specific date for the update, but it has confirmed that it will roll out in February 2023. The update will be available for all LG Music Flow models that have Wi-Fi connectivity, including the H3, H5, H7 speakers, the R1 bridge, and the HS6 soundbar.
How do I get the update?
To get the update, you will need to download the latest version of the LG Music Flow app on your smartphone or tablet. The app will notify you when the update is available and guide you through the installation process. You will also need to have a Google Home device and the Google Home app to set up and use the new features.
Conclusion
The upcoming update for LG Music Flow will make it more versatile and convenient to use. By adding Google Home and Multiroom support, LG Music Flow will join other wireless multi-room audio systems that work with voice assistants and smart home devices. If you own an LG Music Flow system or are looking for one, this update might be worth waiting for.
