Better yet, LG will make their older line up improved with an over-the-air update, baking in the Google goodness through the OTA update to previous-gen MusicFlow speakers. LG added it has worked closely with Google for the Multiroom configuration, so they added Home support at the same time.

LG wrote in a forum post: "We have prepared Google Multiroom functionality. During preparing for that, we also discuss with Google team about Link with Google Home device function. And, we decide to update two major functionalities, 'Google Multiroom' and 'Link with Google Home device' at the same time".

The current ETA of the new OTA update is sometime in February.
