Wanted to enquire into any experiences out here with my own received toy... the Google Home Mini ....but thought I'd open it up to any similar type baubles.
Anyway, it is one of those toys I would put in the cute, conversational piece and possibly totally unnecessary add ons to the living area and added load on the wifi router. In my case even more so since I live in a rural area and deal with a mere 3 GBps internet speed total (radio trans.).
Just using it for simple commands for radio stations, questions answered re phone #s of eg. local Canadian Tire store, Chinese takeout etc, turn on/off my tv. It works off the Google Home app. which is now on my IPhone and acts as a controller to multiple devices which when identified to the app is then controllable via a voice command to the Mini. Right now I have just my Chromecast (attached to my TV) and the Mini itself as the only devices defined.
Works great so far and quite the novelty as in "Hey Google, turn on CBC Radio 1" etc etc
Anyone experienced with this? Or, any other similar device?
Looks like my home is going to be Google controlled!! Yikes. Next step probably an Android phone?
