Google nest mini made camera shutter noise and flashed at 6am

[Hannah260200]

I woke up at 6am briefly and whilst I tried to go back to sleep my google home mini made a camera shutter noise and flashed as though it was taking a picture (I know it can’t actually do this). I was wondering if there was any explanation for this?

What flashed, the four lights under the fabric ?  That's really odd behaviour, I have never seen that before.

I’d turned away from it so I couldn't actually see the Google nest, and where it physically came from. But it’s on my bedside table right next to my bed and was the only thing plugged in in my room. It had never done this before so it kind of freaked me out!

Hi All,

First, thank you Ashepherdson for answering this thread.

Hello Hannah260200, just wanted to check in. Has this issue happened again? If you'd like, you can do a Factory Data Reset, as it will reset your Google Nest Mini to its default factory settings. This action will clear your data from the device and can't be undone.

I look forward to your response, thanks for your patience!
