QuestionCan I access the speaker in another house by my phone to listen in? Ex: like a baby monitor.

Questionwhy wont my home Mini connect to my wi-fi any more?
- Answer Could be many things, more info is really needed. Did you move your router or Mini? Do you have multiple frequency (2.4 or 5 GHZ) for your router change to the other one. Have it forget your wifi and then re-enter it. Reset your router and modem, sometimes you get two ip addresses assigned to different devices. Basically you need to troubleshoot the system to find out exactly what happened. My first step is always to unplug everything for about a minute then plug it back in and then see if it works and go from there. Be aware the mini needs to be set up through the app EVERY TIME it's power is disconnected.
QuestionIf you have multiple of these in different rooms can you communicate back and forth with people in the other rooms, kind of like a home intercom?
- Answer Yes with the new update you can. Its great. You dont have to yell in your house now. But its not a live feed in conversation. Its recorded and relyed throught the device. From my inderstanding it is sent to all devices. So dont send private messages or everyone in the house will know.

Questionif I purchase the mini google for my grandson do I have to buy attachments for music or to ask questions to be answered by the google hoe mini
- Answer It works like a Google Home unit. however you get your music now (Pandora or Spotify) it will work.
QuestionCan a Mini be set up on a home wifi network with no smartphone involved to make outgoing phone calls to a nickname? Can one say "Google ... call Mike" and have it know Mike's number from a phone directory somewhere? Must one say "Google" first?
- Answer You’ll have to have a phone number to use the calling feature. As a matter of fact I think you have to have a smart device to even set up Google Home to begin with. If you have a smart phone/tablet without cellular service, you could try setting up a Google voice number for free. That’ll work with the Google dialer in the GH as well.
