Google just updated the Regular Chromecast for Speaker Group support via the preview program, I'm about to test now, but you should definitely do a short video on this for the rest of the Google Assistant World
@@TechWithBrett No problem Brett, I subscribed after I got a Home Hub a couple weeks ago, and I've been grateful ever since. I already own a shield 2017, CC 2015, The original Home, a few yeelights, and some Smartwifi outlets and I'm currently awaiting a Mini via the spotify deal. Also I have a Note 8, so basically a similar group of devices to yours and the videos have definitely helped me alot!

Brett you are a Genius! I just got a JBL link 10 and I take it to work. It's connected via hotspot. But I never thought of using my existing Wi-Fi name on my hotspot! Thanks man!
I am glad you reviewed these, I have about 20 different types saved in my amazon wish list LOL. this is great! I was thinking that with battery pack, I would probably only use as a speaker not commands since my phone has Google assistant already.
Thank You Brett 🙂. These would make Great Christmas gifts for my Daughter, who has a Google Mini 😊. Have a warm Thursday ❄️. JaneLee ^_^ 11/15/18 9:27 AM
Great idea about naming your hotspot the same as your WiFi - on iOS do you need to name your phone the same? Don’t think you can name the hotspot separately?
Great stuff there Brett...I love your reviews but I hate clicking the link to the items to see they are not available in UK...destroys me lol ! Have to edit this unless you search the item from your own amazon account the links say dont ship to Uk DOH silly me right!
Hi Peter, the kiwi design batteries and wall mounts are also sold in amazon other country, include UK/EU/AU/JP, the kiwi design wall mount would be used for US and EU adapters but for UK adapter, it would be tight , but you could still use it :P Thank you for your support :)
Thanks love the new options.. Better get those kids busy you got a lot of leaves. You better start broadcasting rake rake LOL. As always a great great learning tool keep up the great work.
Hi, is this safe? Don't the cables get really hot being all "snug" together like that :) (love the word snug, didn't know it yet) My husband's telling me not to get one, cause the cables could melt...
Great new options! I am looking forward to a wall-mount option for my two Google Home Hubs and perhaps even my Lenovo Smart Display 10. Thanks again for staying on top of what I've found to be the best home automation infrastructure, especially for home audio enthusiasts.
Yes it still needs to be in range of WiFi. I remember trying to have it work over Bluetooth but I think I may have had an issue or it has to be connected on Bluetooth to your phone before you lose WiFi.
I have a question for all. Does anyone seem to have problems with the routines running late? Or the units make the noise and then the routines do not run at all? I turned this in on feedback it seems to be a hit and miss problem. And if this is something that can be fixed if Brent would be kind enough to see if he would help us fix it I know the world would loving! LOL but that doesn't matter he's got a great family.
Brett Awesome Video really enjoyed these are nice to have I love that they are finally coming out with some great accessories so if you want to bring them in different areas you now have the option especially like the Kiwi but also like that you gave heads up on the amount of data it uses.I see I have some catching up to do.Deb 😉👍✌👌
The wall mount for the mini has one big issue as noted in other comments. The end of the plastic holder that holds the plug end is designed TOO SMALL for Mini plug end to fit into it!!!! Sure you can press it in until the plastic end cracks but that defeats the holder. A 1/16th"-1/8" would make all the difference. Don't think the makers actually tried mounting a mini!!!
Heat is not my main concern. It's not that much heat that it really matters. What is of more concern is that if you mostly use it as stationary unit connected then the battery is kept mostly fully charged. Combine that with low quality Chinese which is typical in such devices even the "expensive" ones is not a good cocktail. The last thing you want is lithium batteries burst into flames while not at home or perhaps even worse when you're sleeping. Constantly unplugging/plugging it when going out or to sleep you'll probably be tired of and it's not really something that batteries are happy about. It's however fine if you have a stationary primary unit without battery and then use this as any other portable speaker - as a portable speaker and not constantly plugged in.
@@HifiCentret I think you will find it was South Korea and the Samsung Note 7 that had big lithium ion battery issues and also the USA Boeing 787 also had an issue at one point.
@@starcitizen890j5 Exactly. If Samsung gets it wrong - what are the odds that a random lower grade Chinese manufacturer gets it wrong too? They can go into smoke at any point in time except fully or almost fully depleted but fully charged and especially charging are the most likely points.
I’m not sure if you are interested in going with the kids to go to the school or do you want me in the middle of the night or do you want me in a little bit or if you have any

As soon as I saw it being used outside I immediately unsubscribed. Thought you may want to know that for future reference.
Brett you are a Genius! I just got a JBL link 10 and I take it to work. It's connected via hotspot. But I never thought of using my existing Wi-Fi name on my hotspot! Thanks man!
My gosh, This is actually my First time hearing about this 😱
The pedestal design is what I've been looking for! I'm ordering 2 tomorrow with your link. Your videos are much appreciated 👍
Glad is was helpful!
Received mine stand yesterday. Perfect 👌
@@sziltner first it snap on our does it just sit on the stand
After two years, good review!!
I am glad you reviewed these, I have about 20 different types saved in my amazon wish list LOL. this is great!
I was thinking that with battery pack, I would probably only use as a speaker not commands since my phone has Google assistant already.
Hopefully I helped narrow it down! Lots of options now.
Thank you for turning off sound when you said "hey Google"❤️
Yes!! Exactly what I needed!!
Thank you.
Nice review, Brett. Some decent bits of kit there
I loved them all!
I just ordered the stand. Tnx! 👍
The only thing that is
I really like the stand it looks good and would be great for in my garage
Thank You Brett 🙂.
These would make Great Christmas gifts for my Daughter, who has a Google Mini 😊.

Great stuff Brett! You’re the best!
great devices to get for the holidays thx!
Definitely!
@@TechWithBrett //$hrrdffgfxxcçddďéqźďwc2xwxx
These protectives are for Nest mini too or just to home mini? What about kiwi battery spare pack?
Oh i see^^ your still had the Pixel 3XL in use, that's nice. ;) Thanks for this Video it's amazing as always from you. Thanks
Great idea about naming your hotspot the same as your WiFi - on iOS do you need to name your phone the same? Don’t think you can name the hotspot separately?
Thank you so much for muting hey google in your vid.
It's bad that the Kiwi Design G1 covers up the mic mute switch. But HOW do you remove the Mini from the battery case?
Great video! Looking into a couple of these!
Great stuff there Brett...I love your reviews but I hate clicking the link to the items to see they are not available in UK...destroys me lol ! Have to edit this unless you search the item from your own amazon account the links say dont ship to Uk DOH silly me right!
I'm sorry! Sometimes I remember to out UK links. I will try and do more of that.
@@TechWithBrett all good my friend your heads up on whats out there and reviews suit me fine thank you..

That is a great idea!
Great video. Are the battery bases still being sold? It says unavailable on Amazon.
Very cool.

Really like the pedestal mount, not a huge fan of those wall socket hanging ones,
Cool
Hi, is this safe? Don't the cables get really hot being all "snug" together like that :) (love the word snug, didn't know it yet) My husband's telling me not to get one, cause the cables could melt...
Do any of these products cater for 3 Pin Plugs?
Great new options! I am looking forward to a wall-mount option for my two Google Home Hubs and perhaps even my Lenovo Smart Display 10. Thanks again for staying on top of what I've found to be the best home automation infrastructure, especially for home audio enthusiasts.
I'm with ya! I will keep the lookout for a wall mount for those.
Thanks buddy!
This is Rita, I'm coming. Great video as usual.
Dope Brett!
Keep it up!
Wit this in place with the Google home mini do you need to connect to WiFi in order to play music?
Yes it still needs to be in range of WiFi. I remember trying to have it work over Bluetooth but I think I may have had an issue or it has to be connected on Bluetooth to your phone before you lose WiFi.
Wow

Yes the kiwi thing is cool but why would you use it if you have Google assistant on your phone
Nice video
What is the Kiwi battery base g1 made of

Brett, can the last mount be used on a top wall outlet? I'd like to have mine up rather than hanging down. Thx bud
Will you be reviewing the Roav Bolt when it comes out next month.
I definetly need to!
I need to figure out if it will work in my car.
Always concerned that these will add heat to the units. Not an issue?

It's however fine if you have a stationary primary unit without battery and then use this as any other portable speaker - as a portable speaker and not constantly plugged in.
So far I don't think they will have a problem. It is very minimal computing compared to what our phones do.
