Google Mini is dirt cheap. the hardware is surprisingly very high quality! the speaker is loud for something so small. with Home Assistant, you can use it to play music or audio alerts. in this video, i will show you how with or without the cloud.

This is not "without the cloud." The cloud is still very much involved.

i can confirm playing MP3 files work 100% locally. in the router, i blocked the Mini from the internet. afterward, it does not work any more when asking Google.

Looks real easy, thanks for sharing.

In the future, please don't allow the audio portion when you say "Hey Google" as you're demonstrating. Say something like "Hey G" or mute the portion where you say "Hey xxx". You set off my Google mini speakers to start playing music on my TV and it cut off your RU-vid video. Other content creators typically mute the audio portion where they say the word Google. Keep up the great tutorials and have a nice day!

ok. will be more careful in the future.

Are you sure this works fully locally? I believe that even though your audio file is local, the API to send an announcement to the speaker is on Google's servers. Have you tested this setup on a LAN with no internet?

yes. on my PFsense router, i assigned a static ip for the Mini and blocked from ever getting online. once done, asking Google for anything does not work. BUT HA still treats the Mini as a local speaker to play local MP3 files
