I found examples on how to use them in both cases but for some reason I cannot find out how to configure them so that HA sees them as media_player.office and media_player.salon. In terms of the Google Assistant, there are no differences; there are a few cosmetic differences between the speakers, such as the Nest Mini having a wall anchor for wall-mounting. For the Nest Mini switch the mic off using the switch on the side. Then press and hold the centre of the speaker, where the lights are. Wait for 10 seconds until a sound confirms the reset procedure is going ahead.
This is not required, if privacy is a great concern, then uncheck the box. And both devices were spontaneously recognized as Google Home speakers. They were named after their names in the Home app , such as media_player.cuisine_salon. You’ll then be prompted to connect the speaker to your Wi-Fi network. Once you select your network from the list, tap Next and then enter its password, then tap Connect.
Other users will not be able to access these services. Google Home will attempt to link to any nearby Chromecast devices or other video streaming devices on your network. On your phone, tap Open after the app has finished installing or tap the Google Home app icon on your home screen. It's the app with the multi-colored house icon.Make sure your mobile phone or tablet is connected to your home Wi-Fi network. If these steps don’t solve the issue, you’ll need to factory reset your speaker or display, then set it up again. With your speaker powered on, and ready to go, you can open the Google Home App on your smartphone.
