Google Home

Followed the steps:
- Open the Google Home app
.
- In the top left corner of the Home screen, tap Menu
.
- Verify that the Google Account listed is the one linked to Google Home. To switch accounts, click the triangle next to the account name.
- Tap More settings.
- Under 'Services', tap Calendars.
- Under 'Your calendars', the main Google Calendar associated with the Google Account and voice linked to Google Home is ticked by default.
- Tick the box next to other shared calendars that you want to hear events for.
- (Optional, English only) Under 'Default calendar to create events', choose the Google Calendar that you want to add events to when using voice commands. Note: You'll only see shared calendars that you have 'write' access to.
Under Services I have 'Calendar' (note the missing s) and under here I have Availability and nothing else.
Can anyone confirm the Home now works with Logitech Harmony in the UK? The Harmony Ultimate is currently only £99 on Amazon but I'm not sure I can be bothered with it, if it isn't supported by Home yet. News suggests it is, but I know what Google are like for rolling out things to the US only...
Google Home Max has started shipping in the US and Canada in time for the holidays and I was somewhat surprised that Google did not launch one here yet. The sound is apparently awesome and I would likely replace my living room GH with a Max, as music is one of my main uses for GH Living Room. The US price is $ 399 but there is a discount of $ 120 available (net cost $ 279 or approx £ 200) when you consider the one year free You Tube Red/Play Music subscription included.
Here is the first review I have seen. The sound quality is apparently awesome.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the 21 pages - haven't got the time right now to read through it all.
Has the issue been resolved where the device wouldn't play from your free/uploaded music to Google Play Music rather only from Google Play with an active subscription?
I have a lot of legitimate music - I have in the past and still do today, buy a lot of CD's. These I rip and upload to my free Google Play account - I don't have a subscription to their streaming service etc.
I know that when this device first appeared it simply wouldn't play music from the free account. Then in June/July they added this feature, but from what I've read it was patchy at best and still couldn't be used.
I've got no intention of purchasing a subscription to any streaming service, so want to make sure such a device would be able to access my uploaded music?

Suggest you get the answer on this one from the horse's mouth as they say. Click on this link and go to "Contact Us" on the top right or a chat button that appears after a few moments:

Countcussy had a conversation a few weeks ago, tl;dr no, you need to have a paid subscription in the UK.
It's still an inconsistent mess regarding your original question.Perfect - thank you for that. Won't be purchasing one of these then
Forget the exchange rate though, never really works like that does it, if its $399 it will likely be £399. Looks good though, don't think I'd want to pay full price but may be tempted when its eventually launched here and when there is a decent offer on.
Is there a guide or tuition on what commands to say to make the Mini understand?
Unless it's me that is asking the wrong way.
2 Examples that the mini had no idea -
Hey Google what is a beef wellington? No Idea.
Who is playing in the PDC Darts today? No Idea.

I had not no luck with the darts, but it answered the beef wellington question for me just fine.
Seems the Max is the more elegant, simple solution rather than a bunch of separates.
JMHO.
Yeah my thinking is the same. I'm sure as Scam says seperates would wee all over max, but it just seems a nicer solution, simpler and as you say more elegant.
How did you ask about the beef Wellington?
