Nest Speakers - different cities

[Poolmanouvre]

Hi, 

Is it possible to have nest speakers in different offices - that when I want to broadcast they will all broadcast? 

I I have 6 offices throughout the US and would like to be able to sound a gong noise in each office at the same time - my thought was using nest speakers then the broadcast function, but not sure if it would work, or if there is a better idea?

TIA, Rob

Your Google Nest speakers have to be in the same Google Nest "home/structure" and on the same Wi-Fi network in order to broadcast to them:

I've broadcast to a mini at my sister's house from my phone, I was about 15 miles away at the time. I believe you can broadcast to all speakers connected to a single account. Just don't specify a speaker name.

When we got our first Nest Hello Doorbell over 3 years ago, it was still possible for a Nest "home" to include devices on more than one Wi-Fi network, and you could therefore include cameras in your family member's house in your Nest Aware subscription. That is no longer the case. In fact. Some customers have theorized that the "assisting device" error that plagues so many Google Nest customers is due to the install process trying to obtain Wi-Fi settings from an existing Google Nest device in order to keep all devices in one Google Nest "home" in the same Wi-Fi network.
