Google Home Mini Smart Speaker – Charcoal

Start living in the future with the voice-controlled Google Home Mini smart speaker. The virtual assistant is capable of all sorts, so you can set reminders so you don’t forget your anniversary, and then ask for recipe suggestions when you’re struggling for ideas for a romantic meal. It’ll stream music from your favourite services too – just ask for a bit of northern soul and it’ll start playing. Plus, if you connect to your smart home devices, you can turn down the lights with a simple voice command. It will recognise up to 6 users, so just be careful no-one interrupts with some heavy metal. Google Google are bringing their extensive technological expertise to the smart speaker scene, implementing their search technology in the virtual assistant to provide an even more reliable – and natural – experience. Command all your smart devices Thanks to being compatible with a whole host of smart home devices, you can take command of everything from your lights to your television. Once you’ve connected the speaker and your compatible devices to your WiFi, you can synchronise them, allowing you to activate them all with a simple voice command. So just ask it to turn down the lights, turn up the heating and settle down for a movie marathon without having to leave your seat. Keep track of your calendar Let the virtual assistant keep track of your diary so you’ll never miss an appointment or a birthday again. Set reminders for anything you can’t afford to forget about, whether that be your anniversary or a hot date with the dentist. Or if you know you’ve got something important on at the weekend but can’t remember what on earth it was, as long as you added it to your calendar you can ask the assistant and it can tell you precisely where you need to be. Music for any occasion Thanks to the music features, fiddling with CDs or stereos are a thing of the past. Pair the speaker with your music streaming service and you can listen to whatever tickles your fancy. Tell it to play some blues for a chilled out evening in the week, or a party playlist at the weekend. If you find something new, you can ask what’s playing and then request that artist by name. You can adjust the volume, skip tracks, and pause playback with voice commands too, giving you complete control over your tunes.
