bluetooth speakers with speaker groups

curious
Community Member

I've created a speaker group with a Nest Mini 2nd gen and a Nest Audio. I'd like to add two bluetooth  speakers (wonderboom) to the group. In theory each of the Nest devices should be able to connect to a bluetooth speaker, so it should be possible. 

But when I try this I have two problems: 
-When I turn on the speaker connected to the Nest Mini, the Nest Mini shuts off. It seems I can't listen to both the mini and the wonderboom. Why would that be?
-The Nest Audio doesn't seem to want to connect to the wonderboom at all.

Can anyone help resolve this?

Hey curious,

 

Glad you reach out.

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I know how relaxing it can be when you can listen to your favorite songs using your speakers. A few questions - does the same thing happen when you connect your phone to your speakers via Bluetooth? How far is the Wonderboom speaker from your Google Nest Mini and Audio devices? Do you have the same issue when playing music on speaker with the Nest Audio and Mini only? Also, it is best if you can send a video showing the issue, so we have a better picture of what's happening to your device

 

Looking forward to your response.
 

 

Cheers,

Muddi

I can connect my phone to my speakers with Bluetooth without a problems. The Wonderboom is just a few feet from the Google device, and it works more or less OK, but I can't hear the music from both the Wonderboom and the Google device, which seems silly

I'm definitely still having problems. I can't make speaker groups that include both my JBL speakers and Google speakers. I can do groups with either the JBL or the Google ones, but can't make the whole thing work together.

Things are more or less in order here. It'd still be good to be able to simultaneously connect a bluetooth speaker and listen on the original device. Not sure why that can't happen, but whatever. Nonetheless, you've got a TON of angry customers out there whom you might want to listen to.
