We've never used an alarm on our Nest Mini, but this Help page says you can do so in the United States using something like: "Set <radio station> radio alarm for 6 a.m. tomorrow."

"Note: If your speaker or display isn't connected to Wi-Fi at the time of the media alarm, a general alarm will sound instead."

Oh, sorry.  You already tried this and it still beeps.

when you set an alarm using Google assistant on your speaker for the radio in the morning at the time you alarm starts it will just go straight into the radio station playing the radio of your alarm setting which you set. Then just say stop when you won't be allowed to stop playing them radio

No. It beeps and doesnt start playing the radio station immediately.

Hi folks,

 

@MplsCustomer, @LDN_SW1V, thanks for the help.

 

@IRMG, I know how it feels if something's not going the way it should ― let's take a look at it. May I know your location right now? Is the media alarm working before or is this the first time trying it out? It would help a lot if you could do a sequential reboot first: 

 

  1. Unplug the power cord of your router followed by your Nest speakers.
  2. Plug them back in after 3 minutes tops.
  3. Restarting your phone might also help.
     

By the way, the media alarm feature is only available in the US. 

 

Keep us posted.

 

Best,

Dan
