Issues with setting up Task/Reminders for family

[Greentea]

Hi, I have a google nest mini, just started using it for a few days and I was just wondering if anyone can help with the following 

1) Is there a way to set up reminders where google nest actually reads out your reminder? (i.e. Take out trash at 9pm, would result it a voice (Take out the trash) rather than (you have a notification) 

2) Is there a way to set up reminders so family members can also listen to it? (now it just says I have a notification, but when my husband ask what the notification is it'll say he has no notification but I have a notification) 

3) Is there a way to assign reminders in that case? I tried saying remind my husband to take out the trash for example but google nest just says it can't assign tasks eventhough this article says it's possible https://support.google.com/assistant/thread/12076190/assignable-reminders-on-assistant?hl=en

Hi Greentea,

Thanks for visiting the Google Nest Community.

Setting up a Family Bell announcement is what I can suggest. Your Google Nest Mini will announce the task or message you set, and your family members can also listen. Number 3 on your post requires your husband to be added as a household member in your Home. Let me know if Family Bell works for you.

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex 

thank you, I’ll try the family bell

in regards to number 3, my husband is in my family list. When I ask Google nest it says that he’s on my family, but yet I still can’t assign task to him

Hi there,

Did the Family bell work? As I further check the Assignable reminder for household members, it seems like it is no longer available. Our team is looking for ways to improve our product; you can send feedback about it.

Best,
Alex

Hi 

yeah the family bell works but it only often lets me set up regular reminder at a specific time. Would be good to be able to set family bells as a one off event easily
