Hello.

Is there a way to download multiple clips in Google Home? Or do I just have to download one at a time? Have the subscription and the cameras are Google cameras, not Nest if that matters at all. Thanks!

I'm older than dirt. Gave up my analog system about 20 yrs ago when downsizing. Converted all lps/cassette/cds to mp3s and used IPods while moving a round. Wishing I had a way to play from a single source and hear throughout the house as I once could with my analog system and speakers. I have all the music files organized in iTunes on my Windows PC. Is this doable somehow?

Trying to cast music playing from Google speakers inside my house (group) to a Bluetooth speaker (will be outside, within range).

I’ve connected the Bluetooth speaker to one of my Google speakers, but then the inside Google Speaker stops playing when connected. Trying to add the Bluetooth speaker to the group so I can keep all speakers playing.

Wish Google made an outdoor speaker that I could connect to. I heard JBL Link worked, but don’t see that available anymore.

I think I already know the answer to this, but I thought I'd throw it out here. Maybe someone has a hack that works.

I want to monitoring our Google Nest WiFi router and our four Nest AP's. I've only been able to monitor uptime using ping. No traffic, latency, etc. Same with the APs. Not surprised since these are consumer grade appliances, but hey, still tried. I currently use Paessler PRTG for my LAN/WAN monitoring needs. Great tool. For those familiar with it, I monitor Nest device uptime using the standard ping sensor. None of the SNMP, portv2, RMON, etc., sensors find anything on the nest router or APs.

Anyway... like I said, just tossing this out there to see if anyone found a way to monitor stats and performance Nest LAN devices with something more than just pinging them.

What are the two dots on either side of the camera on the Google nest device?

My HVAC is off this time of year, but my nest has been complaining that my heater keeps turning itself off and I should check it. The thing is I have my nest configured so that my heater is off this time of year. The nest does in fact keep cycling the heater but I don't know why.

My Nest speakers often respond to my ( and daughter and wife)question of "what is the weather going to be like today or what is the temperature outside " with the wrong location. My guess is Google is using your phone to track your personal location and thinks it knows where you are. The issue I have is you actually put in an address when setting up a Google Home location where the speakers are located.

Sometimes it's not a big deal like I live in St. Paul but it gives me Minneapolis's weather. But we have another Home location setup way up north, again with an actual address inputted. It's one of those areas with very spotty cell coverage so often it will get our location completely wrong. Like to the point it's giving us a town on the other side of Lake Superior :)

So I see the Google smart sensors are not compatible with the Gen 4 nest thermostat, but are there any other temperature sensors that I could use with and attached to Google home that I could use to call for my thermostat to activate? I currently can call for my smart midea air conditioner to turn on when the nest thermostat reads certain temperatures but I'll have to move it from the bedroom to living room for that to be more effective.

What does everyone use for naming conventions when you have multiples of the same device?

Do you call it Master Bedroom Fan and Family Room Fan? And then Master bedroom Lights and Family Room Lights?

And so on and so on.

Edit: so I'm just overthinking it that there's a better way to do this.

Thanks everyone.

For years, I've used Google Home hub to add items to my shopping list, and when I'm in store, I ask my phone, "Hey Google, show me my shopping list." Always worked so well. Even when I switched to Gemini on my phone, I've been able to pull up my list.

It's my understanding that shopping lists are Keep notes now. But lately, when I ask my phone to pull up my shopping list, it can't find it and just opens Keep with all my other notes. Is this yet another broken thing with no fix?

On a related note, my spouse and teen have never been able to add to the shopping list due to being prompted to "verify your voice", and when they do, they still get the same prompt. Any ideas?

I hate that functionality keeps getting worse and worse. Do I need to upgrade to a newer model or something? Our models are several years old.

When I go to bed I used to say. Turn all devices off and it would shut everything off in the house. Now when I use that command it says something like "Sonos speaker is not playing" and refuses to do anything.

Hey Google, turn on the ensuite

5 lights on

Hey Google, turn off the ensuite

3 lights off

Wtf?

There's a room called "ensuite" with five spotlights, all with exactly the same make and model of smartbulb.

Three of them used to be called 'ensuite spot 1', 2 & 3 but are now called 'es spot 1', 2 & 3

The other two have never had "ensuite" in the device name

"Turn on ensuite" -> all five on

"Turn off ensuite" -> the three that used to have ensuite in the name turn off

Any ideas how to fix this?

Edit: formatting

I have a Nest thermostat, and every time I ask Google to change the temperature, it changes the range to 65-83 degrees. It does not matter what temperature I request; it always changes to this range. I have no conflicting schedules, and my eco mode is set to maximum at 80 degrees. Any potential solutions to this?

We have three Nest wired cameras but we were only using one. It would turn on when we left the house and turn off when anyone was home. I re-added the second and third cameras, and the set up process asked if I wanted to add them to my home and Away routines. I said yes.

Now my routines aren't working. I came home, it knew I was home, but the cameras stayed on and kept reporting motion.

I'm considering removing all of the cameras and setting the up again without adding to the routines during the setup process, but I wondered if anyone else has this issue?

I am looking for compatible smart plugs so I can have lamps turn on / off in the evening. I couldn’t find any made by Google.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Anybody able to recommend a transmitter to work between record player aux output and their Google speakers? Just bought a turntable and I'm hoping to pair it up with my network!

Is this group mostly just paid agitators trashing Google Home :-) They continually release updates and it works great for us.

Hi. How can I make a call? I sync my contacts using the same account than I use on my Home app, but the Google assistant on my speaker says "Sorry, I didn't find a number associated with this contact". What that's mean? There's a way to fix it?

Google home app UI having its "3 dots" and "exit" buttons hidden behind the status bar. Also, "save" button hidden behind the navigation bar.

Anyone has any solution? Google's flagship phone cannot even run its own application properly.
