How do i connect my Google Nest Mini's to a Homey Pro?

The app supporting Google nest Mini seems to not be available anymore. In the “Google Nest” app available now, the only applicable selection is “Max Hub”…which i don’t have, just a couple of nest mini’s

Any suggestions?

This one:

I am talking about Google Nest Mini…not chromecast. Do you suggest that i should connect the hub as a chromecast?

I know it does not sound logical. But just add this app and choose this app when you add a device :slight_smile:

Will try, thanks

Depending how you are going to use your nest mini’s, a flow like mentioned in Script to restart Google Chromecast can be usefull (as sometimes your Google devices will lose connection with Homey).

For let your mini speaking text, you can use: Cast a text to Google App voor Homey | Homey

If you want to get proper speach with the Mini’s try this app Google Services App voor Homey | Homey
Works perfect. Natural voice with speed and pitch control of the voices you choose.

What do you use that for?

I use it to say ‘Goodmorning’ to my son when his mini stops playing radio as alarm :grinning:

And I use Geluidsbord App voor Homey | Homey as sound for my doorbell.

I use it for warnings such as that the washingmachine or the dryer is ready. I also use it to warn that when it is raining and the backdoor is left open, that it must be closed. With the afvalkalender I get a warning that tomorrow the container (3 types) will be emptied. When there is a hedgehog in his feeding house we also get a warning that Spikey is having diner. When there is a waterleak from the dishwasher I also get a warning. Lots of usefull things you can think of.

I see no cards for Google Service…

Installed the app? Google Services App for Homey | Homey

and instructions for installing: [APP][Pro] Google Services - App for Translate and new Text-to-Speech for any device with url input

Is there a way to play MP3 files saved in Google “My Drive” or a different cloud storage site??

no experience with but:

I managed to add my Google Nest Hub this way, but the Nest Mini will not be discovered when trying to add a new Chromecast device. Any tips what I can try? :slight_smile:

This might help: force Homey to connect to the cloud by turning off your phone’s wifi, and have it use internet data.
Now start Homey app and try to add the Nest mini.

I factory reset the Nest mini, and did the setup process again, now on the same network as Homey Pro. Now it worked without a problem :slight_smile:

Just got a nest mini but i can’t seem to add it to homey. I did the google home setup, gave it a name and it works. Now i tried adding it as a device on my Homey Pro but it can’t be found as a chromecast and the google nest isn’t giving an option for the nest mini. Selecting something else always result in no devices found.
Anyone who can help with this? Really wanted this for some messages to be send around the house.
