No automation option to play music for nest audio speaker?

[Jevanson]

So I have a nest mini and nest hub at home, I have automations set up with things like "lets make dinner" or "lets get cozy" and I have settings for my lights and certain playlists to play from Spotify. I recently bought a Nest audio for my office since I had a hard time finding a mini and when trying to set up similar automations at work there is no option to play music in the actions. Am I missing something or has google removed this option?

Hi Jevanson,

Thanks for reaching out to the community! I understand you're not seeing the option to set up automations to play music on your new Google Nest Audio, even though this feature works fine on your existing Google Nest Mini and Google Nest Hub. I know how confusing it can be when a feature that has worked for some devices isn't working on the new one. I'm here to help.

To isolate this inconvenience, I'd like to know the following:

• When you were setting up the automation, did you select "Personal" or "Household"?
• Could you please confirm if your Google Nest Audio is set up within the same "Home" structure as your other Nest devices?
• Have you tried playing music on your new Google Nest Audio using a simple voice command? If so, what was the result?

Please keep me posted.

Regards,
Juan

Not sure on the personal or household question, I don’t remember being asked. No, as I mentioned in my post the new speaker is in my office so it’s on its own “home” in the app. Yes if I tell the speaker to play music it will
