You can even use voice commands for your Google Home Mini to disconnect it, just say “Disconnect Bluetooth”. With Google Home, your Nest and Works with Google Home devices work together reliably to help with your household needs. Just look for smart devices with a Works with Google Home badge. Matter devices connect to each other locally over your smart home network using Wi-Fi or Thread, making your devices more responsive, reliable, and secure. I also noted that once the mic is on, the Google Home mini picks up the rest of my commands just fine.
And with Voice Match, the Assistant can tell your voice from others—up to six people can get personal assistance on each device. As a complementary speaker, the Google Home Mini evades most of its limitations in sound when you connect it to a better sound system. But for its price, I would say, it’s still a steal, and if not, a good inexpensive introduction to smart speakers. Underneath this layer of clothing, are hidden capacitative touch controls and LEDs to indicate that Google Assistant is listening or thinking. There aren’t any protrusions topside but tapping the left side should reduce the volume while the right side should increase it. Tapping the device used to trigger the device to play/pause or activate the Assistant but has since been permanently disabled.

As it turns out, a bug caused phantom taps that kept triggering the device. A light I turn on every night displays in the morning as it turned off when it is still on. Giving verbal commands to my Google home results in lots of glitches lately. Grouping lights in one room together so that they all go on or off at the same time is a nightmare that shouldn't happen, and required a lot of workarounds to make it stop. Too easy to accidentally turn a light off when trying to dim or charge colors.
Thread is the latest wireless mesh technology, designed to make your smart devices more connected and reliable. It helps extend the overall strength, capability, and reach of your home network. Just start with “Hey Google” to get answers from your Google Assistant, tackle your day, enjoy music or TV shows, and control your compatible smart home devices.

This is a automatic comment generated by codeowners-mention to help ensure issues and pull requests are seen by the right people. It disconnects the device for all members of the home. At the top, select the home with the room you want to delete.
You can change these settings at any time after you complete setup. If the device has been used before, factory reset your speaker or display before you continue. Interacting with the asking Google to lock one door works with pin code. Asking Google to lock all the doors works with pin code.
How is the Google Home Mini Different From Google Home?
The Home Mini, on the other hand, has a smaller speaker and lacks the passive radiators. While the Home Mini can still be used to listen to audio content like music and podcasts, it doesn't sound as good. Also, you can choose mood or activity-specific music. Say “Play sad music” or “Play workout music” and your Google Home Mini will search for such songs, albums, and playlists.
That is how to set up and use your Google Home Mini as a Bluetooth speaker. No separate speakers are necessary, although it is possible to connect multiple devices at the same time using the Bluetooth pairing advice we gave you. Alternatively, you can use the Bluetooth settings on your device to enable pairing with Google Home Mini. Go to Settings, then choose Bluetooth settings, and move the slider to the right to enable pairing.
Under "In your home" or "Local devices," you can find all devices on the same network that aren’t part of a home or room. To complete the setup, follow the in-app steps. The Nest Mini is slightly smaller than the Home Mini, but the difference is minute enough that it barely matters. The Nest Mini also comes in slightly different colors.
Devices Find all your devices quickly in a simple list view. See if your office light is on or your kitchen speaker is still playing, with just a few taps. Automations Customize your devices to do what you want, when you want, with new automations in the Google Home app. Automate schedules so you don’t have to worry that you left something on when you’re away. Activity and Settings Use the activity tab to better understand what’s happening in and around your smart home. And easily find and manage devices, services, and members in the Settings tab.
It almost feels like having your own J.A.R.V.I.S doing your bidding. Throw in some smart lights and a few other gizmos and you’re on your way to a smart home. I'll try removing the entity_config section for the device and see if that helps.
A few weeks ago we unveiled Google Home Mini, the newest addition to the Google Home family. About the size of a donut, it has all the smarts of the Google Assistant and gives you hands-free help in any room of your house. Starting today, you can grab it online from the Google Store or online or on shelves of Best Buy, Walmart, Target and other stores. While I get Spotify, thank goodness, I don’t get YouTube Music, iHeartRadio, Apple Music, Pandora, Deezer e.t.c. I don’t have Live TV or Podcasts. Neither can I make calls unless it’s via Duo.
When I attempt to open my garage door, Google Home challenges me for a PIN code. Once I say it, it responds, "My apologies, I don't understand." Turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat, or get an alert when there’s a person or package at your front door.
