The nice UPS man delivered two Chromecast Audios today...  cloud9:
:thumbsup:

But I just use those small bluetooth speakers you can also use in the shower.  Were £4 from Amazon (but they've gone up again)

Ah... but WiFi is betterer than BlueTooth...  happy100

And I can control the whole thing (by voice) from either of the Google Home devices or from my PC or mobile...  cloud9:

And IF you can find it

I detest voice input systems, as an avionics designer my bosses were always trying to get me to embellish proposals with how we'd add voice input and I'd pretend to humour them.  For simple commands it only works better than a button in very niche circumstances and it becomes a toy rather than a tool.  Imagine trying to fly your quadcopter with voice.

Sometimes a phone call is more efficient than a text message or e-mail.

In terms of Google Home it really works excellently and is much more efficient than a remote for keyboard input.

Yes but we were talking about increasing the volume not writing a sentence

Would you (do you?) use voice input for your posts here?

Well, whatever, nevermind

My other bete noire for avionics was people demanding we offer touch sensitive screens for safety critical functions.  What works on the runway does not work in high g combat manoeuvres.

Well, whatever, nevermind

No, horses for courses... ::)

It is easier to ask it to increase the volume than find the remote or the appropriate ap on my phone or walk to the HiFi and twiddle the knob... It just really is.

I just asked it to play 'Revolution by the Beatles' and it is now playing... Much easier than finding the track on an ap or PC...
