I use it to play music in multiple rooms... it works great.

  Mine's primarily used for intercom, messaging, and simple weather updates, where its main achievement is intercepting audio requests where it tries to answer things I want to do with my phone and thus blocks my phone from providing useful functionality. "I'm sorry I don't know how to do that" yes but my phone does so shut up and get out of the way. Multi-room music playing isn't something I've attempted. Do you have the speakers grouped together or keep them ungrouped? Does it do a good job of keeping them in sync? Because my biggest disappointments are generally in the poor coordination between the devices on the network not knowing which should handle a request - often I'll be right next to a speaker and make a request, and the one in the next room will reply, bewilderingly.

    I have several google minis, and a couple of google hubs (first gen). You need to group the devices and then tell google to play the songs in that group... it has worked really well for me - so I'm hoping I won't lose that functionality. If they are too close together the speakers struggle to figure out which one is closer to me . For instance, I used to have one in the living room and one in the kitchen (rooms that are close together without a separating wall) and often they will both answer my question. I ended up turning off the mic in one of them. Every now and then I use it as an intercom but with mixed results. My take on the google products is that they are far from perfect, but I really don't see anything better out there. I own several Apple products, but when it comes to smart home they have very little to offer, and Siri is far behind the google assistant.
