Do you need a smartphone to use Google Home? I'd like to give this to someone who has WIFI and a tablet but not a smartphone. If a smartphone is only required for setup, I could use my smartphone to set it up. Will this limit ongoing functionality? null

You will need a Smartphone or tablet for setup, after setup no device is needed.

You don't need a smartphone at all. A tablet and WiFi is more than enough

Smartphone or tablet is only required for setup and not ongoing use.

I assume the app, either Apple or Droid will be fine on a tablet.

You can use an Android tablet or an ipad to set Google Home up as ling as they are on the same wifi network. Just download the Google Home app from the app store to the tablet and that should do it.
