Flashing light means the device had some sort of error and doesn't know what to do. Unplug it and plug it back in. You'll be doing this fairly often, so get used to it. I suggest connecting the speaker to a smart outlet, or an extention cord with a switch, so you can more easily reboot the device as needed... it's that frequent.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to this post on BB's forums (see link) by Mariah-BBY, this is caused by an unreliable connection to power or a power surge. http://www.forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Home-Audio-Video/Flashing-power-LED-Voice-Smart-Bluetooth-Speaker-Alarm-Clock/td-p/1220555 Other posts here from support seem to say the blinking is a network issue. That said, I have this problem as well. My solution is to cycle power by pulling the plug. Works. The speaker was working as expected at the time I noticed the blinking, so that seems to rule out the network issue as a cause in my case.

When I look at the back of my mini, it's LED is lit solid white (no blinking). But as for trying to sleep with it, a little piece of painters tape over the LED may do the trick. If you need to figure out how to connect to the internet so you can use Google Assistant, go through the instructions again or there may be a youtube video on how to set it up and get it connected to the internet. It's helpful to set timers, get the weather and probably many other things I don't even know about.
