Using Nest Mini and Google Home Mini Abroad

Hi there! 

I have a Google Home Mini and a Nest Mini both bought in Australia. I’m moving to the US and wanted to know if these devices will still work in another country after I’ve replaced the charging cables to US format? 

thanks a lot!

Hi Lariza0g,

 

Thank you for posting here in the community. I understand that you want to move your Google Home Mini and Nest Mini to a new country. 

Once you replace the cables and adapters with US-compatible ones, these devices may work, however it is not recommendable. Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

  1. Language and Region Settings: Ensure that the language and region settings on your devices are set to the US. This will help them adjust to the local environment and provide relevant information.
  2. Wi-Fi Network: You will need to Connect your devices to a US-based Wi-Fi network to access local services and content and it might be restricted or the technology and security may be different.
  3. Voice Assistant: Both Google Home Mini and Nest Mini use Google Assistant, which is available in multiple languages and regions. You should be able to use voice commands in English.

We recommend using your Google Nest devices in the country where they were purchased. This ensures optimal performance and compatibility with local networks and services. Using them outside their intended region might lead to unexpected behavior or limited functionality.

Please check the following articles to Change your home and work locations in the Google Home app and to Change the language of Google Assistant in case they are needed. In addition, please check this article to Understand your warranty when you move to another country.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

 

Regards,

Mario
