Google Nest Mini

Start your smart home journey

The Google Nest Mini is a home assistant device and smart speaker all-in-one. You can connect your phone and play music, but the cool part is how the device allows you to automate your home and life by performing tasks via voice commands. Setting an alarm, checking the weather, and even turning on and off your lights can be done with your voice!

​The device is inexpensive and relatively simple to use once it's all set up. The device is compatible with hundreds of smart home accessories such as smart bulbs, smart plugs, smart vacuums, smart cameras, and many more. 

My workshop teaches the basic functions of the Google Nest Mini— how to set it up, how to configure it for your life, and how to use it every day. Together we will step through initial setup and demonstrate some common (and not so common) uses for the device. By the end of the workshop patrons will have learned the necessary skills to set up and use their own Google Nest Mini. This workshop works well for adults and is especially popular among those who recently acquired smart home technology and are looking to learn to use it.
