Yes, you can. Easier with the standard home as it has a 3.5mm stereo output, the mini doesn't so you have to mod it. The mini gets as loud as you'd ever need for voice imo. I measured between 86 and 90db from about 12ft at full tilt. I normally have our Living room minin set to 40%. It's not great for music though, obviously.
It hasn't - none of the google home products have one. You've got to buy a Clowncast Audio for external audio.Thanks.
I never knew the Google Home had a 3.5mm jack out. Which is good news for me
Just been looking at the normal google home, and I can't see a 3.5mm stereo output

No, it won't
So it looks like there are no restrictions on who can call with home. If a voice isn't recognised, sometimes our home will say that and stop but sometimes it will misinterpret the voice and call the closest search result instead. My son just managed to prank Jane Smith Financial planning, wherever they are. I can see this causing problems lol
go into the google home app, hit the menu on the left hand side, go to 'more settings' select 'calls on speakers' option near the bottom.
You will see a 'Your own number' field at the top
hit edit
input your full mobile number, it will send you a text to verify the number, input the verification code and voila! it will use your mobile number as the caller id
As i understand it this can be done for each account linked to the GH so if your partner etc uses it it would show their number as caller id
Wow, just tested and that's quite brilliant!
For some reason I assumed it was going to just allow you to communicate with other people using their google homes rather than call any phone, love it!
Beats the experience mother whskycycle has had with her Echos... Got Home dotted all over the house now myself, don't care if Ok Google and his corporate Overlords are listening to our every move, and plotting new threads and PR to parrot, they're just so damn useful!
when Amazon heralded this on Echo back in October in the UK, all they are able to do is talk to someone else who has an Echo Home.
I'm not sure Google has 'taken it to a whole new level', when there has been calling on Alexa in the US since last year using the Echo Connect. That needs a phoneline but it does the same thing functionally.Ha! No extra charge for the tinfoil hat.
But seriously, when Amazon heralded this on Echo back in October in the UK, all they are able to do is talk to someone else who has an Echo Home.
Google Home has taken it to a whole new level----anyone on your contact list and businesses. You can use it to call your local dentist, pharmacy, hairdresser, etc.
