QuestionCan I add this Google device to an existing Alexa smart home and use either to control devices? By either starting with "Alexa..." or "Hey Google..."
Asked 7 years ago by jbbarnes77.
- Answer I do not think the 2 will work together. I have a Google "system" throughout the house and fire stick for my TV. Google Home will not control the firestick but Alexa will control the fire stick and Google will control it's version called Comcast. They are competitors after all. They do about the same things. You basically have to decide on which one you want to go with and stay with it.

Questioncan you play music without having the "google search" function active? will it just start talking or try to answer questions? and can you have more than one speaker going? thinking of buying three for background music at a cocktail party.
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I can answer some of your questions, yes you can have three of them all playing the same music at the same time. You can tell Google home to "play the music everywhere" and it will play the song throughout all the speakers. Google home well only listen when you say "OK Google" once you say that it will start listening and follow your commands. If you don't say the "OK Google" command first it won't do anything or say anything

QuestionHow do I get the speaker to make a phone call
Asked 7 years ago by Speaker.
- Answer First you need to download the google home app and make sure that your call settings are right. Once that is complete, then ask the mini or home to call someone in your phone book..it should work if you gave it access to contacts with the Home app. Also, make sure that all firmware and updates are updated!

QuestionI just bought one of these from a yard sale it's the white one so I'm just learning how to use it.. It didn't come with a user manual.. I need help to reset it to go with my phone I have no clue where to start... Can you please tell me how to get started
Asked 7 years ago by Brat.
- Answer Underside of the Mini is a reset button. Hold it down until it responds, "you're able to completely reset..." From there, download the Google Home app on your phone. Look for devices, and pair your Mini. The only way to pair a Mini is through the Home app.

QuestionMy mother is elderly and lives in an inlaw apartment in my home, I want to buy the google mini so she can call me on my cell phone if she needs me. I thought this would be better than an intercom system. Any reason why this would not be a good option?
Asked 7 years ago by Debbott.

QuestionI have a patient who is blind and he wants to listen to music. He has home wifi. And I have a note3. Can I download to my phone to get it for him if I conect to his wifi? And he want to tell it a song to play, can it do that?
Asked 7 years ago by Blueeyes1976.
- Answer Yes, it can. You only need the your note3 to do the initial setup then after that the google mini is always connected to the WiFi (as long as it remains in the home). You can stream from Pandora, Google Music, You Tube, etc. Your patient then can simply say, "OK Google, play <song> using <provider>. Hope this helps.
