Use an GoogleHome as a remote speaker for the magic mirror?

[StefanMe]

Hey guys! I got a nice MagicMirror but have one problem. I need sound. Specially if I stream news or something via the podcast plugin, I don’t have any sound because of missing speakers. Is there any chance to forward the sound to my GoogleAssistant which is also in the same room? Use the GoogleAssistant as an remote speaker?

Thanks for help!

@StefanMe you would have to have a bluetooth output device on your mirror, that can be the ‘speaker’

I was facing the same problem cause I was finding a way to make calculus easy but fortunately found this and now it’s good!

@dragontattoo this is really unrelated to the MagicMirror software…

you need a bluetooth device in the hardware, and then connect the bluetooth speaker… same as for your phone.

i think the pi has bluetooth
