    Silly question . What do you guys mostly use the mini for? I have the normal home and find the sound quality poor.

    • diddy50 on 23/04/2019 - 20:41

      Mini seems poor, regular is good sound.

      • RI4V4N on 05/05/2019 - 11:40

        They both sound similar to me, which is pretty average. Two minis can be hooked up together as stereo sound though.

        • SlartiBartFozz on 06/05/2019 - 22:09

          If you have four of them, can they be used as a TV surround sound system ??

      Playing music via Chromecast.
      Wifi lights are cheap now ($20 at Kmart).
      Turning TV off Via CEC on the Chromecast.
      Setting alarms.
      Writing to-do lists.
      Check the weather.
      Operating RF wall plugs via a Broadlink RM pro remote repeater.
      Sending IR codes to the home theatre receiver via the Broadlink RM pro.
      Turning on the projector via Broadlink.
      Lowering and raising projector screen via Broadlink.
      Just set up a routine where if I say "Philadelphia won the basketball game" it switches some lights to red and others to blue (team colours) then plays the team song via YouTube on the Chromecast.

      I use mine to control my room. Computer sleep, shutdown, lock, restart, and wake up. Lights. Music to my Bose BT speaker. I'm also going to try and control my curtains when I get some time with nothing better to do.

          Google home -> ifttt -> eventghost -> pc

          Google home -> ifttt -> server -> eventghost -> pc

      • ChocolateTown on 25/04/2019 - 11:28

        I thought Bose on,y worked with Alexa? Or do you chromecast it? I have a SoundTouch10.

        Also, would I need a CC to turn on our 3yr old Samsung Smart tv via the google mini?

    • snoopydoop on 24/04/2019 - 11:49

      Yeah, Home quality is pretty bad. JBL Link 20 is much better sound than the regular home, is portable, and waterproof. For roughly the same price.

      The mini makes a lot more sense than the main home - as it just acts as a microphone/assistant more-so than a high quality speaker.

        Don't forget! You can do multi-room audio, so you can link several minis together, spread them around and play music through all of them.
        Honestly the best feature

    • txchou on 24/04/2019 - 14:51
      +8

      Use mine constantly for:
      - listening to the news at breakfast
      - adding groceries to shopping list
      - weather at night and during the day
      - kids play animal sounds and the Wiggles game
      - Spotify and my Google Play Music collection
      - Turning the lights on and off or (usefully) to a baby night light (since you tend to be holding a baby when you want that light setting)
      - timers for cooking are very useful especially when hands are covered in flour or something (multiple timers is a good feature too)
      Occasional stuff:
      - translations (language)
      - definitions of words or spelling
      - asking what song is playing when it's Spotify radio
      - conversions (Forex)
      - playing podcasts
      - as a Bluetooth speaker

      • BigLeviathan on 24/04/2019 - 19:08

        I constantly use it to ask questions:
        - "what does the fox say?"
        - "who let's the dog out?"

        Hi txchou,

        What do you use for adding grocery items to a shopping list? Like what app and what do you say?

        Thanks in advance

        • txchou on 19/06/2019 - 11:34

          Google home has a built in reminder list function. just say "add X to my grocery shopping list".

          Then I've linked/synced it up to my iOS reminders list using IFTTT. Works like a treat.

    • Name on 25/04/2019 - 20:12

      My 6 year old is constantly asking it questions. How to spell something and random trivia style questions like tell me about pluto.

      We also use it to interact with the tv. "play peppa pig on YouTube" or "play cars on Netflix" or "turn TV off" which is great for when you're going to bed and can't find the remote.

      A month is all you need I'm fairly certain. So essentially you can buy a Google Home Mini for $17.99. Spotify Family only charges $17.99 a month with no lock in contract. So you should be able to just cancel it after a month.

          I never see ads for wedding jewellery. My friend just got engaged and her ring had a ruby stone, gold ring, with tiny opals on it (pretty unique piece!). We talked about it a month ago. Only recently, she messages me upon request, a photo of said ring. I then see an ad for it the next day. Can't accept it's a coincidence. I'm not a jewellery nor wedding kinda gal so the fact that this ad appeared when I've never seen that sort before was solid to me.

          Ads have also happened after other random conversations of things I'd never usually be interested in.

          That being said, I don't really care that much if they snoop. It's just annoying.

        • HeavenlyHammocks on 24/04/2019 - 02:07

        Offer cannot be combined with any promotional codes, or with other bundle offers running at the same time. It’s non-transferable, and it isn’t valid for cash or a cash equivalent. Purchase must be made on Google Store Australia. Available only while supplies last. Shipping charges may apply at checkout. Void where prohibited.

          Ah, shame!! Would've been such an exploit :P

    • sween64 on 23/04/2019 - 20:13

      Nope. Once you add both to cart promo code is removed.

    Legend, thanks OP! Took like 30s for the email to come through. I swear these devices get given out for free in many promotions.

        To be fair, you're essentially giving them your personal data… it damn well should be free… :P

        Google after all is a data company above anything else.
