    This seems rushed in order to compete with Amazon Echo. I don’t use it anymore?

    Cool and Freaky at the Same Time

    Posted .

    This came for free with a Google Nest I bought. My wife and I honestly thought about selling it, but I set it up to see what it's all about. 1st, it was really easy to setup and it automatically recognized my Sony TV and Soundbar. All I had to do was click on the "Link" button. You have to login to your Nest account and allow Google Home to access it to change the temperature. You do the same thing with Spotify and I set that as my default music service. It is really cool how well it works when we get home and I can say play Little Big Town on the Living Room speaker and it just works. It's freaky how well it works and in my opinion works 10x better than Siri. I tried to link it to my Bose Bluetooth speaker and that is honestly finicky and only works 2 out of 10 times. I just gave up on it because the Bose would turn off after a period of inactivity and then I couldn't get it to re-link with it the next morning. I think a 3.5mm audio out of the Google Home mini would go a long way. Also, I noticed when you create shortcuts under Routines, that it doesn't always work. I linked the Google Home to my Harmony remote and set up the command "turn on the tv" to do the "ok google, ask harmony to turn on apple tv" command and it only works 2 out of 10 times. That would be cool if they ironed that out. Otherwise, amazed with how well it works and feel like I'm living in the future.

    I guess for the $29 it isn’t horrible but Siri is just as useful and it’s mobile.

    And I sold them on nextdoor. I will not have a listening device in my house. Sold them to some dude and warned him, but he didn't care. I get it, these are cute, they play games, great. But I don't want them to hear me when I am angry because I burnt my top ramen.

    It gives the impression that it can play anything through your streaming apps, but NOT at all. Perhaps it's too new and the company needs to do some major tweeking and improvements. We stopped trying to use it at all, except for when my fiancé wants to yell at it and wait for the less than clever replies.
