[don_marquardt]

I would like to know how to say something like...

OK google play spotify using tablet on home.

or

OK Tablet play spotify on home

I have spotify as my default music source, I have my tablet logged in to one of my spotify accounts and home is two google home devices( 1st gen).

How to do this?

Hi don_marquardt,

Thanks for posting. I understand that you want to ask Google Home to play music using a particular phone or tablet. Don't worry; help is here. I just need to ask for some information to provide the best assistance:

• What Google devices do you have?
• Could you please be more detailed with the action that you want to do?
• Are all the devices on the same WiFi network?

Please keep me posted. I'll be waiting for your response.
 
Best regards,
Jenny

I have 2 google home speakers which are grouped as "HOME", rev 1, a Samsung A50, a Samsung tablet and a google pixel 4a.

I also have a Spotify family plan. I use google home app to control a variety of manufacturers devices including switches and plugs that I have installed.

The tablet lives in the kitchen and is signed in to one of my Spotify accounts. I would like to be able to say "OK GOOGLE play country music using tablet on HOME.

I have a "smart" modem which supposedly switches between 2.4 and 5g depending on the requirements of the connecting device.

Hi don_marquardt,
 
Thanks for your response and the information provided. In this case, let me explain that you can say the command "Ok Google, play music" on the tablet, and the music will play on your speakers; this will work only if you have the devices set up on the Google Home app on the tablet and if you are using the same Gmail account. You can try it and let me know how that goes.
 
Best regards,
Jenny
