Description

Superseded by Nest Audio; buy only if you need a spare for existing Cast groups.

Highlights

  • Voice-controlled smart speaker with Google Assistant built in for music playback, smart home control, and answers.
  • Functions as a Cast target for audio announcements, chimes, or music groups.
  • Dual far-field microphones and a 2-inch driver deliver room-filling sound for smaller spaces.

The original Google Home has been replaced by Nest Audio, but existing units continue to receive software updates.

Works with Home Assistant

Expose Home Assistant entities to Google Assistant for voice commands, and use the Cast integration for TTS or audio playback.
