    • @AutomateYourLife
      @AutomateYourLife  3 года назад

      Hey Jerry - So you can upload music onto RUclips Music and then you can play your music through there. It's not a perfect service just yet, but it works well enough. Playing music directly from a PC though, is not possible.

    • @AutomateYourLife

    Hi there,
    I have 2 google mini and I had set them up thanks to your video. Then along the way, I found a "link devices" and did that but now I don't want them linked anymore. I tried to un-link my 2 minis but it did not work so I deleted them and unplugged them both so I can start from scratch. That didn't work in my favour. I have the kitchen one set up but can't set up the living-room one and when I do "add a new device" it's not finding it.
    I'm not sure what to try next. Can you help me please?

    • @AutomateYourLife
      @AutomateYourLife  4 года назад +1

      Hi Anita - I would try a factory reset on your mini. I believe you'll find a tiny little button on the bottom to hold while it's plugged in. Hold it till you notice the whole thing reboot and you should have a bit more success.

    • @AutomateYourLife
      @AutomateYourLife  4 года назад

      Hi Julie - make sure whatever you're using has bluetooth turned on, and then stand about 6 feet away from everything. If your WiFi signal is good where you are, you may have interference from another device. Things...like microwaves or other WiFi devices!

      Automate Your Life that’s correct. I’m unable to get it connected as it says “your device isn’t compatible with your WiFi network” :-(

    • @AutomateYourLife
      @AutomateYourLife  5 лет назад

      So, carrier frequency has to be 2.4 GHz (not sure if 5Ghz works for mini but I think so). Also, I’d look at your security protocols and make sure they match up with Google’s. You’ll need to ask them specifically for the list of ones that work. Try support.google.com and start a chat.

    • @AutomateYourLife
      @AutomateYourLife  5 лет назад +1

      There it is! Yeah, so WiFi in places like that do usually have restrictions that stop something like the GH Series from getting connected. Find the person who manages that network and see if they’ll help you!

    Hi. Need some help, I am. Trying to setup this device. But during the process I an able to search the device and also able. To hear the sound from the Google home mine. But immediately after that when I go for selecting the WiFi network, I select the name of the WiFi and post that it says "could not communicate with your Google home mini" and everything ends there itself. Could anyone plz help..

      Make sure you have Bluetooth on on your phone. Then bring it closer to your WiFi router and try it. Also, watch this video: ruclips.net/video/RR_IfsLT3gQ/видео.html

      Those are two totally separate things, so nope! Google Home Mini doesn't require any subscription to play music. Amazon Echo Dot doesn't anymore either, but both offer free music services that include ads if you don't subscribe. So if you want ad free and total music control, you have to get a subscription for about $10 per month to a music service.

      Just have Google home app on your phone and Google assistant. Then be logged into the same Google account on both your phone and on the mini. Then ask for directions and it should try to send it to your phone. If it doesn't, check notification settings

    • @AutomateYourLife
      @AutomateYourLife  3 года назад +1

      That's very odd that it tells you to try from another device. It might be not connected to your WiFi. If you can't do anything else, then that's likely the case. Maybe try unplugging it and re-plugging it back in or moving it somewhere where you feel your WiFi is better.
