Google nest users - you know about the secret mic, right?

I have seen no evidence to support that, but you could well be right.

The article quoted a £99 price, so presumably it's already on sale here.

I use nest cameras and bought a new alarm just before xmas. The Nest alarm was not available in UK then.
How did people think it was going to be voice controlled without having a Mic in it?

BTW I saw your post re HCEG in the defunct thread. I remember all the guys you mentioned, Gardo is still a regular there. Another I remember is Honeyiscool , the most precious guy on the net. Had a band called Kittens.
CSM got a lot of the material for his "guitarist" magazine articles from that place. That forum was like an old western bar. Much more robust than anywhere now. I remember at its peak if you put a post up the replies came in faster than you could read it. The forum is still clunky and slow on a tablet, when it works.
Sold my USA custom Wolfie just before Xmas.:(

And yet there's nothing on the Nest UK website about this product. Two other links confirm it's not released yet in the UK:

If the nest alarm was voice controlled then :rolleyes:

I remember Honeyiscool for buying every valve vox amp he could find (or so it seemed) and kittens. :-) I still think of HC as being on the wild frontier where you would rub shoulders with a bedroom guitarist on one side and a genuine guitar hero on the other. I'm a little worried about Ratae-Sean, because he was an ex-alcoholic, and it's unlike him to not be around, especially as a mod.

Sorry to hear about the Wolfgang. There's a side of me that says "flog 'em off if you don't use 'em" and another which would like them buried along with me. I don't have anything really precious, and traded my Heritage H150 for my D610, but some have a lot of sentimental value.
