    Hi thanks for your helpful video. I just got the newest chromecast GoogleTV device and I use it on a Samsung SmartTV. Question: if I buy the Samsung HW-Q950T Soundbar system set, would I be able to group that surround speaker set using Google Home in combo with Nest and Nest mini.
    Also, 2nd question. Can I play one thing on the TV + surround system but a family member can play something separate on a different speaker group in another section of the house?

    Thank you! I would like to customise my “I’m home”routine whereby I want my speaker to read the news first and if it’s finished then start a playlist. This is possible by asking to read the news in the custom section and the in the “and then” section ask to play music. The problem I get is that google immediately starts the music and doesn’t wait until the news is finished. Any idea how to fix this?

    • @6MonthsLater

      Put both the play news and play playlist actions under the custom section and see if that fixes it.

    Sleep timers in routines no longer work for me and haven't for months. Not sure why they stopped working as I made no changes to my routines.
    Now I get "Sorry, sleep timers can only be set if media is playing" even though you can hear the music start during the previous steps in the routine.

    Hi Josh, maybe u have a answer for me , do u know how to set a commando in a routine?
    Example routine called bed time,
    Google does:
    Turn off livingroom lights
    Set lights scene bedroom on
    Turn thermostat to eco
    Start roomba to clean.
    What i want in this routine is that google asks me if she must start the roomba. Do u know how?

    • @6MonthsLater

      You could create another routine to turn off the lights and stop playing music. That's probably the easiest way to automate it.

    Great video. I have what I think is a simple question, but I can't find an answer. I want a routine that sets all of my volumes (Ringtone, Notification, Media, System) to a specific %. For example. I'm getting to work and want to turn all of my volumes down to 5%. I have been able to set almost all of them without issue, but the notification volume is the elusive setting. I have a Samsung S21 and there is even a preset command called "Set Volume" with the description Ringer and Notification Volume. But it does not affect the notification volume at all. Thanks for your advice.
