When trying to send a message to all in Google Home app I get this message saying that no speakers are connected: > “Entschuldige, anscheinend sind derzeit keine Lautsprecher mit deinem Konto verbunden. Deshalb kann ich keine Nachrichten übertragen.” #### English translation of message provided by Apple translate. > “Sorry, there seems to be no speakers connected to your account at this time. That's why I can't transfer messages.” However my speakers (Samsung HW-S711GD Ultra Slim Soundbar, 2 Chromecast Audio, 1 Chromecast with Google TV HD) are connected and streaming to them with Google Assistant works (for example using: Ok Google, play radio XY on chromecast). I am assuming that by sending a message to all the Google Assistant will play this message on these speakers. Is this assumptions correct? What could make the assistant think my speakers are not connected?

I have 2 Google accounts activated on my Pixel 8a. I have Google Home notifications turned on from my primary Google account. How do I disable Google Home notifications for a second Google account on the same device (Pixel 8a)?

In Google Home, there is this feature called "speaker groups" which allows you to play the same music simultaneously on several speakers, in several rooms in the home, etc. I use this to play music in my entire home. However, there are still some rooms to which I would like to add speakers. AFAIK, only Google Home speakers and Chromecast devices can be added to speaker groups at the moment. I could go out and buy even more Google Home devices, but I have some spare Android devices and good speakers to hook them up to, so I figure that would be cheaper, better (in terms of sound), and environmentally friendlier. **So basically, to be clear:** I want to have an Android phone hooked up to a speaker behave pretty much like a Google Home, and play audio in a room. I want to be able to add it to my speaker group for the entire apartment, so that it can play music along with my real Google Home/Nest/Chromecast devices, in sync with them. It seems that there previously was an app that made an Android device emulate a Chromecast. That app was called CheapCast, but it now seems to have been taken down. I also found an app that did let me receive Chromecast on my Android, but it did not show up in the Google Home app so that it could be added to a speaker group. Is there any way to achieve this? I can use root, Xposed Framework, Magisk modules, custom ROMs, or whatever is needed. The Android devices I have lying around are running Android 9.

I find the Home app the simplest and hassle-free way to mirror phone screen to a videoprojector or tv running Android tv, and the screen-mirroring the simplest way when casting video from a phone (given the limitations of casting directly from a video player, namely subtitles etc). But I use this very often, devices are all connected to the same wifi, I expect it to start with one click, and avoid all the confirmation steps I see each time. After opening the app (1st click), selecting "Devices" (2nd click) and then my device (3rd click), another 3 more clicks are needed: 6 in total! Can that be changed? --- As you may have suspected, my Samsung lacks the quick settings (drawer) button for casting.

I want to link Google Home with Tuya Smart Life, but when I click the accept prompt in the Tuya app, it shows "Google has stopped". I tried removing the app and linking it with the browser, but it also showed an error. I also tried updating the Google app but it still crashes. Any help is appreciated. Update: I updated my phone to Android 9 and Google is not crashing anymore at that point, but the agree link button in the Tuya app opens Google Home's home screen.
