playing

[walscho]

I set up several minis to play music simultaneously but want to undo it, so when  I say Hey Google only the mini I am addressing will play the music. How can I do that?

Thanks.

Hi walscho, if you open the Home app on the main screen scroll to the bottom to the group section. Now, from there you can do one of two things: from the home page scroll to the end until you see the group; select the group and then choose the settings cog. From there, select either choose device (then you can uncheck them all) or the easiest thing to do would be to choose the other option "delete group" and poof all speakers will be removed as well as the group.

Now, if you have a group and you're not specifically asking that the group be used and all the speakers play, it sounds like you may be using a command that activates play or you're using a routine that is being activated that includes the name of the group. What is the name of the group? Everyone should be able to speak to any device in a group and not have it trigger playing on all speakers.

Let us know if you need help untangling that, but you can at least follow the instructions for killing the entire grouping, as asked if you wish.

In your home app you can create a group of speakers, name the group something that you will remember, like "All speakers", and when you go to cast, say, "hey google play X on all speakers"

I am sorry for not having answered sooner. I was out of town.

I followed your instructions on how to delete the group and that seems to have done the trick.

Thank you all for your help!

I'm glad that worked for you -- if it happens again, you'll be an old pro and know how to fix it! Enjoy.🙂
