    Mom's Echo Dot Wasn't Working So I Bought This As A Stop Gap. She Loves The Sound And Yhe YouTube Music I Got Included With The Device. However Ive Yet To Setup Her Voice Lighting. Its Not As Plug And Play Friendly As The Echo Dot. Sounds Great But Doesn't Seem To Work With The Devices That Are Certified To Work With It. Which Is Surprising Considering They Are Fron 3 Different Manufacturers. So Not That Great At Using Vouce Activated Lighting

    This device is just okay. It's a nice addition to a beginner for having a smart home. It does NOT announce visitors who ring your doorbell with Ring. It does give some nice detail that the Alexa device does no // such as humidity on really hot days, and weather alerts. Kind of inconvenient if you have a ring system, wish there was a less speech option like there is on the Alexa device. Would recommend the Amazon hockey Puck versus this, any day, but still a great addition to any home, if you need basic features.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi JGS0421, we´re glad to hear that Nest Mini has become your best friend. We do apologize for any inconvenience you may be having with seldom getting answers when giving voice commands.

      Adjusting your Nest Mini's mic sensitivity and retraining it to better recognize your voice can be helpful with the issue. Check out the steps below:
      Retrain Voice Match:
      - On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app.
      - At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Assistant settings and then Voice Match.
      - Tap Teach your Assistant your voice again and then Retrain.

      We also recommend changing Nest Mini's hotword sensitivity:
      - Open your Google Home app.
      - Select your Nest Mini.
      - At the top right, tap the Settings (Gear) icon.
      - Then tap Audio.
      - Then tap "Hey Google" sensitivity and adjust the slider to make your Nest Mini more responsive to the hotword.

      If the issue remains, we suggest contacting our support team and work with you to isolate the root cause of the issue. You can reach out to us using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
