'Play Dublin RTE 2FM' works best

Thanks so much - that actually works , I'd given up to be honest

Routines work well for the radio, I find

Create a new routine with any keywords you like, and type in "play rte 2fm on tunein radio" as the action. Should hopefully work for you when you then say the keywords

Thanks - good to know. Not that I listen to 2FM really.

I notice to get Newstalk you need to ask "Play Newstalk FM". Play Newstalk fails.

Balls, decided to buy another and it's now out of stock at the reduced price:(

This! Pain in the hole indecision! :pac:

Edit: Although I've just saved myself €60. Bargain!

Oops. I don't listen to the radio at all but came across 2XM the other day when trying the same thing as Barr. The Nest couldn'd find 2FM for me either.

'Play Dublin RTE 2FM' works perfectly...

Had the same issue myself but then took a look on the RTE website. Found out 2FM is now called 2XM.

2XM is a different station, as per the list of stations available on the website and APP

I can only assume Google can't properly understand monaghanmissus and just lucks out on the result :pac:

2XM is a sister station to 2FM

The one gripe I have is I can't get 2FM playing on tune in . I’ve tried saying different variations like RTE 2fm etc but it doesn’t work

I had the exact same issue with my older google home . Is everyone else in the same boat ? Its just a bit of a pain . Is there any workaround

Strange! I don't have a problem with it. 'Hey Google, stream RTE 2FM' works fine for me.

I've had a nest thermostat in years gone by. Hated it. Too slow to recognise it was cold, too slow to recognise it was warm enough. Home/away had me at home while in the pub, and the smart learning algorithm decided Baltic cold was the order of the day for the morning time. Swapped it out for a sonof basic, a Xiaomi temperature sensor and some home assistant automation.

Would you mind sharing more details on your current setup? Sounds interesting.

I'm probably derailing the thread here so feel to PM. Thanks!

Depends if you're WhatsApp photos and videos are pure filth or not. I delete the filth but most of the WhatsApp photos would be of my family and friends, they'd be nice to look back on in years.

In IOS if you go into the group details you can set it do it doesn’t save photos. So keep family photos and don’t save ones from group with the NSFW stuff

Finally decided to order one, but it's now Out of Stock. That'll teach me.

Does this mean that if I have an album in Google Photos that I add to the Hub it won't update in the Hub when I add new photos to the album?

No, just with a "live album" it means that you can select photos of people or pets that you might regularly share with others - in my case I'd like to share pics of my 4 children with my folks who are 250km away on the other side of the country.

Everytime I took a photo of one of my kids - it would automatically get added to this live album, without me manually having to add and share it to my parents album.

Kind of a first world problem I suppose, but it would be a nice touch I think.

If you add photos to an album they show up on the hub.

Don't think so, I tried this when I initially got it, and it (the hub) directed me to use the app to set it up, but again, there's no "automatically add photos" option there. I actually think the love album feature might only be available in the USA.

Pity, I was planning on sending my parents a hub set up with a live album that they could keep in their sitting room, and I could update it regularly with photos of us and the kids (they live on the other end of the island to us, and we haven't seen them since Feb2020 due to lockdowns and restrictions)

Most of my WhatsApp stuff would be just disposable memes. Any photos I want I just save them.

Yeah, thankfully I'm in my right mind now though. The photos were from ages ago, not sure if you could even prevent it then.

I usually am pretty good at deleting them straight away, and have asked folk not to be sending them, but the odd one got through by the looks of things.

Noticed Thursday morning, was tagging faces, and there was the brothers wife.... Labelled her face with her name, scrolled through the photos, and there was about half a dozen that clearly weren't her. :eek:

On another note though, just be very very careful with the facial recognition feature.

If like me, you have some friends that send you the occasional WhatsApp that might have let's say "photos of an erotic nature"....

Use your imagination on that one.

Which power supply did you get? I see there's one on the US Google Store, but I couldn't find a Google-approved one for our sockets (though I'm sure there are third-party solutions that work fine).

Got mine yesterday! After much fiddling through the menu got a Jam Heavy Metal Bluetooth speaker connected! I haven’t enjoyed a piece of tech as much as this ever! I won’t show my age by revealing the music I got it to play on Spotify Premium but spent a very pleasant evening with a few beers listening to music I hadn’t heard for years!

Yes, i had loads of photos in google photos but hub couldn’t see them. When i setup a new album in google photos and put some photos in it worked a treat

Anyone figured out how to create a live photo album yet with Google photos?

I've watched numerous YouTube videos, but the option isn't there on my app no matter what I do.
