I got mine via John Lewis in the end, no problem. Might be worth a try buying number 6 :-)

Pm me if you have any spare..

Okay if these units do get shipped I will need to know quickly if I need to cancel any.
(It was all fun last night, but the realisation of €600 disappearing on me has now hit:o)

If you are interested it looks like it will be about €112 for the units plus €3.75 Addresspal. This may change slightly due to exchange rate and Credit card.

Also I am in Tuam so collection or delivery would need to be arranged from there, or Galway.

Please PM me if you are definitely interested.

Got my US unit yesterday that a friend picked up for me, fired it this morning once I found a US plug adapter and looks to be working fine. Only thing I've done so far is listen to its daily briefing (could do without Fox news!) and then 'play newstalk radio' fired up the radio.

Not hear anything since from Currys so I'm guessing they never registered my order for these units. So back to looking out for deals again.

Is Argos.co.uk delivering to address pal?
Any other options?

Thanks

The actual Google store will deliver. I got one from them directly a couple of weeks ago. Just select UK and parcel motel.

That's interesting,

Any ideas how they can be so competitive?
Good positive feedback anyway so might consider this option.

Thanks

No idea. I only saw the add last night as I was thinking of a GHome for the man cave.

Do these still require a premium account to do Spotify?

T'was announced in May that regular accounts would also have access, but not seeing it thus far.

Has anyone got multi user setup yet? As far as I can see, my GH is on the latest firmware but there's no option in the Home app on iOS for me or the other user. Country language is set to UK. Tried setting the address to UK but this didn't offer the option either. Is there some kinda magic to get this to work in Ireland. Magic lump hammer maybe?

I saw the prompt for it on my Android phone. I can't be of any other help as it's not something I'm interested in.

It has me perplexed, I can't get it to work either.

It showed on my phone a few days before it would show on my wifes phone.
Poor experience setting it up though

Get premium for 2.50 per month would be my advice.

Already have a Deezer family package, so shifting everyone over would be a PITA.

It'd appear that voice control for Spotify free has not yet been rolled out here.

I have the multi user set up and it works fine. The option appeared under the GH on the Home app. Both accounts can still access the same Google Music account, but you can add a second account for the other user.

Got mine today having impulse bought (and sold again) an Echo in the Prime sale and then realised it wouldn't work with Google Play Music without workarounds when I subscribe to the family deal.

I'm surprised at how easy it was to setup and get going where I struggled to get the Echo set to my location. Voice recognition is much better on the Google Home. It found my Shield TV and Chromecast immediately and it's pretty much instant casting music and video to the Shield. I had to set the language to US to get the use of Harmony and Stringify. I already had some IFTTT applets configured for Google Assistant on my phone, set HUE scenes, turn all lights off, set heating on manual with Netatmo thermostat

Just to follow up on this. Multi account looks like its working. Google recognises both of us, and uses my wifes Google Music account when she plays music, and mine when I play music.

Did you have the 'Multi-User is now available' notification when you opened the Home app?

I can't see any option in setting or anywhere to setup multi user yet, is there something else I need to do to get the notification? My device is running firmware version 1.25.90387 but not sure if that's the latest firmware or if I have to do something myself to update it.

This is the same for me. Running GH with the following, but no sign of the multi-user option either. GH gets turned off and on every day so plenty of opportunity to update. No idea what the issue is and it's now a month since this was rolled out.

System Firmware: 90387
Cast Firmware: 1.25.90387
Language: English (UK)
Country Code: IE

Every time I ask for an old song on Spotify she plays some obscure remix rather than the original. Driving me bonkers.

How the hell do I get HARMONY working on this ?

Have set language to US, on phone and computer but is there something more that needs to be done?

What way did Pabl Picasso expect this thread to go?

In the charter it says don't be a dick, you are being very nasty to a poster on this thread to someone who has been very respectful considering the personal digs he has been on the receiving end of.

It is my opinion that there is an subset of older women who are indeed bitter about the fact that men are more attracted to younger women.

These type of women will often try to emphasise the point that older men wouldn't be able to attract younger women, they say this out of bitterness.

They will often criticise such relationships, and their criticism can sometimes be valid, but they are just looking for any reason to criticose it. The true motivation ia the bitterness.

You lost?

What's his thread about again ?

That's great and all, but how does it help me get multiuser set up on my Google Home?
