Yes, runs independently.

Yes, you can connect the Google Home Mini to a soundbar to play music and other audio files via the soundbar, while simultaneously executing commands and actions via the Home Mini's Google Assistant. Here are the steps you can follow: ## Connect to the soundbar - Open the Google Home app on your mobile device. - Select the device you want to connect (in this case the Home Mini) - Go to the device's settings and select "Playback device" or "Default speaker" - Select your soundbar from the list of available devices to set it as the default speaker. ## Play music via the soundbar - Once the soundbar is connected to the Home Mini, you can play music and other audio files via the soundbar by giving commands such as "Hey Google, play [music track]". ## Commands and actions via the Google Assistant - You can still perform commands and actions via the Home Mini's Google Assistant without affecting the music playback via the soundbar. For example, you can say "Hey Google, dim the lights" while the music continues to play. This configuration allows you to take advantage of both devices: Listen to music via the soundbar and at the same time execute commands and actions via the Home Mini's Google Assistant.

Yes it does, usually when it's not used for a period of time.

It is apparently the same product with a different supplier. Prices are set according to supply and demand, suppliers, but also according to the availability of the goods. This is why they regularly vary or differ.

The language can be adjusted as desired via the Google Home app.

That works for me without any problems. I just say "Hey Google, wake me up tomorrow at 6am with music from Spotify".

Hi! I would like to know how long it would take Digitec to ship my order. Are shipping this week or not?

No, this is the old one

Unfortunately, we do not have any information on this at the moment. As soon as our suppliers also offer it, we will be happy to include it.

I assume that by hotspot you mean using your phone as an internet source (tethering). This is possible in principle. Since a smartphone is needed to set up the WLAN, there are two ways to set up the connection with a hotspot. The most obvious option is to use a second phone, as the first one has to maintain the hotspot all the time. The second variant is to first connect the speaker to its home WLAN as normal. Then simply change the SSID and password of your smartphone hotspot so that it is identical to the home WLAN. The speaker will then automatically connect to your smartphone (of course only when you are outside your home WLAN). I have already used the second option. In my opinion, it is the simpler one, as it is relatively time-consuming to change the Wi-Fi settings of the Google Home. You always have to complete the whole setup. Theoretically, you could also connect the Google Home Mini to the phone via Bluetooth. But this only works if it is already connected to Wi-Fi. All the voice commands only work via Wi-Fi. Therefore, this is not a solution for on the go.

Thanks for the information

33W definitely can't be right. I run my Home Mini on the USB port of my modem to save power. This can deliver a maximum of 0.9A at 5V (USB3.0). This would be a maximum of 4.5W. Works fine as long as it is not operated at maximum volume. If I remember correctly, a 2A 5V power supply unit was included in the delivery. That would be 10W.

First of all, the language: In the Home app from Google, you can set the languages that you can speak with the Assistant. For example, I have English and German in it, so it answers in the language in which you ask the question. Maybe you have both in and it interprets certain answers in English. Your TV, on the other hand, should work completely, what commands do you give it? For example, I have an NVidia Shield which I control with my Google Home and this works well with commands like "Turn on", "Play *artist* on Spotify", "Play generic Video on Youtube" etc. I don't have Netflix, so I can't give it any commands. I don't have Netflix, so I can't judge that. What is noticeable, however, is that if you just say "Play on Youtube" and it is not defined in the app that this should always happen on the TV, then it either plays it directly on the Mini or asks you on which device. I now have 2 Minis and a normal Home in the house and control many things with them, mainly music, light, YouTube, hoover etc.. I also use the new broadcast function (from 2 devices). I rarely have problems, only the combination of German and English in the same command can be difficult (i.e. wanting a German artist in English, then you have to emphasise the "Denglish", or an English broadcast command with a German message, etc.). I hope I was able to help a little, but tell me which specific commands don't work, maybe I can try them on my own and see what the problem might be.

Hello, this sounds more like a defect, the device has no battery or something, so just plugging it in and out should reset the thing. Have you already checked whether the Home Mini is also connected to the router? It should appear there. And when you restart it, it plays a sequence of tones when it is ready, does that sound?

We will update the specifications of this product as soon as possible, thank you.

If you pair via BT, you can only really play on this Mini. Only music that is cast can be played very easily on several Minis or CC Audios. It's really strange that Apple Music is not Chromecast-compatible. That's probably the Apple - Google war. Other streaming providers are probably the only way to cast cleanly.

Unfortunately, both have to live with some restrictions in Switzerland. I have the Google Home Mini at home. I can use it to control the TV (Netflix), run Spotify, set alarms, make appointments, ask about the weather, Google things... without any problems. Even the lights (Philipps HUE or alternatives (e.g. at IKEA)) can be controlled. If such everyday things are enough for you, you are well served with it. The biggest limitations are simply the number of apps that can be linked (for example, as far as I know, Deezer cannot yet be used with Google Home in Switzerland) and some commands and routines. Otherwise, Google Home also works quite well in Switzerland:-)

Yes that works

Only by force.

It is also possible to do the configuration in Italian. The socket is Swiss. If you should not receive the right one, you can write to us at digitec@digitec.ch.

So in the specs it says Bluetooth: Yes and also in the title

Yes but no.

I don't know all the answers (I've only had the device for 3 days), but here's as much as I can help: - Bluetooth speaker connection is no problem, network speaker I can't say. - SBB connection search didn't work (but time estimation did; and for car connection also indication of main motorways; e.g. Zurich-Lucerne: A4 and A15, 48 min) - I was able to query NFL results in English - The power supply is EU standard (like the mobile phone).

The plug is supplied with it. It is a normal USB plug (not C) with Swiss wall connection.
