If you have smart devices connected, you can also set up commands to trigger a bunch of smart home actions at once. Just tap the ‘plus’ icon in the top left-hand corner of the home screen and then “Set up device” to get the ball rolling. If your smart devices are compatible, you can connect them via the app for voice controls on your Nest Mini or Google Home Mini. Google claims that its smart speakers are capable of controlling “over 50,000 smart home devices” which covers everything from light bulbs to thermostats. Just tap the one that sounds the best to you, and the change will be saved. While you’re here, you can also tinker with other preferences for things like to-do lists and podcasts, and even add dietary preferences to recipes you search for if you’re vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free.įinally, under “Assistant voice” you can pick how you want Google Assistant to sound when it talks to you. Scroll all the way down to “News” and then “Add new sources” and pick the ones you like (some of these will also show video if you have a Google/Nest smart screen). While you’re in “Assistant settings”, you can do the same for what your Mini does when you ask “What’s in the news?”. Scroll down to “Music” and then pick the service you want and log in. All of these are found by tapping on your profile picture in the top right-hand corner of the app, and then pressing “Assistant settings”.įirst things first, if you have a streaming music service of choice, you can pick it to be the default rather than having to ask Google to play something on, say, Spotify. Your device will work without any further optimization, but it’s worth taking a few minutes to set up your preferences to your tastes. If you’ve set this up before, Google will just enrol your device with the existing samples, and won’t ask you to record again. This is offered right away after setup and involves you saying a few phrases for Google to learn from it. While it’s not essential and you can opt out if you like, it’s useful for houses with more than one person as it will provide data relevant to you (e.g: the traffic on your route to work, or your calendar) and not anyone else. Voice match means that Google will try and learn your voice. And while your Nest Mini or Google Home Mini is now ready to use, there are a couple of things you should do right away. Your easily automated home is almost in reach. Getting your Google Home Mini or Nest Mini set up is pretty straightforward.
