Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.a smartphone is required for this to be able to set up and run. You will need to download Google Home app to your smartphone to keep this working.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will need a smartphone or tablet running iOS or Android to setup the device. Once set-up, it should be fine without a smart phone/tablet. I am considering the same scenario for my in-laws (to prank them with a voice of god broadcast from 1000 miles away)...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Shouldn't be any problem, but you'll need to use your phone or tablet to set it up initially. I connected mine yesterday and I was somewhat surprised by this. There was no mention of setting it up with a PC or Chromebook, only 'smartphone' or 'tablet', using the "Google Home App". Of course, if you use your phone, it will be accessing your account!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes but you'll need a smart phone to set it up and a Google account. If you don't want them using yours you'd need to sign in/up under their own Gmail account
