Haunted Google Home And Minis Activating On Ther Own!

deesgooghome — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 17:45:55 GMT

I have a Google Home and 4 minis all first gen that keep activating on their own. The keep adjusting the volume to 100% no matter how many times you turn it back down. They are also randomly blasting music all times of the day. I have rebooted the modem, router and all of the googles as well. ..nothing works! This has been going on for two days now. Plz help!

Hi deesgooghome,

Thanks for visiting the Community.

Sorry to hear about this experience. Could you confirm if there are other accounts that connected to your Googel Nest speakers? Are there other person connected to the same Wi-Fi network where your Google Nest speakers are connected? Let's make sure to check these settings on the Home app to disable others to play music on your device.

Open the Home app.
Select Settings > Recognition & sharing
Select "Let others control your cast media" - Switch on or off to allow all Android devices on the customer's Wi-Fi network to control media casting.

Let us know if these steps work.

Best,

Princess

Hi deesgooghome,

Thanks for the additional info. Since you mentioned that there are no other accounts connected to your devices, I would recommend you to change your Wi-Fi network's password and set up your speakers again. That way, we can be sure that there are no other person that could bypass your network as well as the devices connected to it.

Keep us posted.

Best,

Princess
