Bought a WIFI speaker with my Google Home but was not able to cast to it via WIFI without the Chromecast Audio. Bought this, hooked it up, and in minutes my speaker was pumping out the jams just as I hoped it would. Compact, unobtrusive and easy to install and use.

Fast charging car charger for my Samsung Galaxy S7. Much faster than the built in USB charger in my Optima or the cheap charger I bought in a discount store. Charges 2 phones at once so the kids love it! Perfect!

Does What I Need

I have a stand up Samsung fast charge wireless charger in my bed room that I use to charge my phone overnight and love it. I bought this so I can charge my phone in the living room when I am watching TV and it works GREAT! So much better than plugging my phone into a USB charger and being tethered to the wall. I just set my phone down to charge it and pick my phone up to go. Brilliant!

Great Concept - More Abilities Coming...
on December 12, 2016
Posted by: RONKMFA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This technology is in its infancy. So much is possible and the potential remains untapped. At the moment this is like a smart speaker that responds to your voice with all the power of Google behind it. It listens well and is great for background music, the news and to answer some questions. I cast louder music to my Wi-Fi speaker via a Mediacast when I want to rock out. At its core, this is an input device to a central computer at Goggle that processes vocal commands and reacts appropriately. It does not interact with your phone, laptop, tablet of desktop computer, although it is informed by the Google Home app. It can also control a small number of smart appliances and lights as well as Chromecast and Mediacast devices. I look forward to the day when it interacts seamlessly with my smart TV, computer, tablet, phone and car. I would like for instance to say, "Hey Google, map directions from here to the White House, show it on my TV and send it to my phone." Not possible yet. It does have a short memory, so if I ask, "Hey Google, when was George Washington born?" and follow up with "Hey Google, what year was he first elected president?" Google will more likely than not know I am asking about George Washington. Also, for each command, you have to start with some form of "Hey Google..." Google Home is not able to have a conversation with you for a brief period without you addressing it by name each time. I love it. I think its great. I recommend it highly and without reservation. But you are an early adapter. There is so much more possibility to be explored...

Stream your favorite TV shows and movies straight to your TV with the Roku Ultra. It has voice search to make finding your next binge easier, and it's compatible with 4K Ultra HD displays for crystal-clear picture quality. The Roku Ultra includes a lost remote finder so you never have to search the couch cushions again.

GREAT Upgrade - and 4K!
on December 12, 2016
Posted by: RONKMFA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an upgrade from the ROKU Stick and I love it! This is clean, fast and efficient. I used to hate scrolling through ROKU channels because of the amount of time it took. Now, it is easier than scrolling through a cable guide, and less of a hassle to sort and more intuitive too. 4K UHD HDR programs are crisp and clear, dare I say almost lifelike. I recommend this player highly and without reservation. It even works seamlessly with my Samsung remote!

Great Next Gen Wi-Fi - Plenty Of Bandwidth
on December 5, 2016
Posted by: RONKMFA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a cord cutter with plenty of Wi-Fi devices in my home each streaming all kinds of data. I have a 50MB internet connection and this unit does the trick getting data to each device without buffering or dropouts. It is truly next gen. I do not yet use the ad band with my phones, TV or other devices, but I give the ac and earlier bands a run for their money. I bought this at a discount, I am happy and I am set for the foreseeable future.

Good Sound, Great Connectivity!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my kids to use with their Google Homes, each along with a Google Mediacast. They love it! The Google Home has good sound at low levels, but when they want to rock their rooms they send the stream to their Bose speakers. Plenty of sound and little if any distortion at full volume. Also expandable. I recommend it highly.

Will the Google Home work with my smart devices (lights for example) if the internet goes out, but remains connected to the home network?

Google Home requires an internet connection to do anything. The unit is just a mic, speaker and Wi-Fi transmitter. All data analysis is compiled at a central computer, not locally. No internet, no Google Home.

If it can download apps from the app store, yes. Try downloading the Google Home app. It is the same app used to control Google Chromecast or Media cast.

Does the Google home require a subscription service?

No, but services you use with it might. It defaults to Google Play Music (free) and I linked my Pandora account (also free).
