      Hi mtre, thanks for giving us time to share your feedback about the Nest Mini. We can see how inconvenient it can be if your Nest speakers often disconnect for no reason and sometimes speak up without being prompted.

      There are several reasons that can affect the performance and connectivity of your Nest Mini and its Google Assistant. Your network may be working correctly if your other devices are working without any issues, but let’s make sure that this issue is not caused by a weak or spotty connection and see if your Nest Mini experience will improve:

      - Check for possible interference. Appliances like your microwave oven, refrigerator or even your neighbors Wi-Fi network may cause interference with your Nest speaker.
      - Check for possible congestion. Removing some of your connected devices may help relieve some bandwidth space.
      - Ensure that your Nest speaker is in line of sight with your Wi-Fi router to get the best signal strength and Wi-Fi coverage.
      - Restart your router, your modem and your Nest Mini.

      Also, If you’re Google Assistant activating on its own, you can control how often Google Assistant responds to voice commands with the “Hey Google” sensitivity setting. This setting lets you choose how sensitive devices are to phrases that sound like “Hey Google” or “Ok Google.” Google Assistant might activate when you don't say “Hey Google” or “Ok Google” when it detects something that sounds similar. And sometimes might not activate when you say “Hey Google” or “Ok Google,” particularly in a noisy environment. Please see the steps below:
      - 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.

      Please let us know if further assistance is required and we’ll do our best to help you, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    The only bad thing is if you don't have Spotify premium it won't let you certain songs you can only pick generic stations

    Its a Google Nest, Replaced my aging first gen. Really no "game changing" features. The only real thing I found is that the microphones work a lot better.
