Nest Mini Bluetooth Pairing with PIN

zbret

I have a speaker that has a pairing code that is not 0000 and can't be changed. Any attempt to use it as a Bluetooth speaker (which the Nest Mini is supposed to use as its default output) fails. When in the app, it reports that it can't connect (which of course it can't, because there is no prompt to enter the code).

I have this same problem with Amazon Alexa/Echo devices as well, which was my main reason for giving this a try. I looked up earlier help on Google Nest Mini and found this wasn't supported in 2020 but thought either a) it might have changed, or b) someone at Nest might seriously try to get this added - particularly since it would be something Alexa doesn't do either (and so is a competitive advantage for you).

How is this a fix to the problem?  Same issues has been reported in 2021 https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Speakers-and-Displays/Nest-Mini-can-t-connect-to-bluetooth-sp...

Are you ever going to enable this easy feature to make the system usable?

Hi Jra,

 

Thanks for reaching out. What Bluetooth version is installed on your Bluetooth device? Have you tried linking other Bluetooth devices to your Nest Mini? Since it’s not connecting to third-party speakers either, have you tried contacting the manufacturer of your Bluetooth speaker?

 

I look forward to your response.

 

Regards,

Juni

Yes have paired with other devices with out issue. It appears that the Bluetooth speak I need to connect to has a non standard pairing code that I cannot change and there appears to be nowhere to enter pairing code.

Hi there,

 

Understood. We would suggest that you contact your Bluetooth speaker manufacturer so they can update the Bluetooth software on your speaker to one that doesn’t need a code.

 

Cheers,
