Google Nest Minis<\/a> are the most affordable way to make your home a heck of a lot smarter. First of all, they’re adorable, like pastel M&M’s that can sit or be mounted almost anywhere. And as cute as they are, they’re also powerful little speakers that can interact with you in all sorts of ways\u2014and when you add in the power of Google Home automations<\/a>, you’ll feel like you’re living in the future.<\/p>\n

Google Nest Minis are the cheapest way to get Google Assistant throughout your home<\/h2>\n

The affordability of the Nest Minis<\/a> ($49, but often on sale) means you can reasonably deploy a fleet of them throughout your home. For instance, drop a Nest Mini in your bathroom to listen to music in the shower\u2014and even change the song by shouting at the speaker while you\u2019ve got shampoo in your hair. A kitchen Mini can translate cups to tablespoons or remind you what temperature chicken needs to be cooked at. It can even read you a recipe, step by step. A Mini in my office is great for a quick time check, updates about the weather, and what appointments I have coming up. It can even shoot off an SMS, send an email, and make a phone call. Sadly, it cannot call 911, or it would make a great tech replacement for the senior members of your family, but it can make a home so much more accessible overall. (Technically, if you have also bought into Nest Aware<\/a>, a subscription plan that covers Nest smoke protectors, it will enable emergency services on the Minis, so they can dial e911<\/a>.)\u00a0<\/p>\n
