There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Thanks for the link.

My problem is that the four shortcut dots are not even lit up. Nothing happens when I press where I think they would be...

Not knowing what you already have done, I’d say that it probably has something to do with how it is set up initially.

Has it been updated to the latest firmware?

Followed the setup flow provided when you first initiate the speaker.

That is done through the Google home app.

Will ask my dealer for advise.

My dealer told me that this feature is yet to be rolled out in a coming release.

Sounds strange since e.g the Manchesterguys have it working on theirs.

My BS1 says its up to date....

Like it is mentioned in this video https://youtu.be/2-7hBZXn1Bw , right now the buttons will only show up if your primary language on the Google assistant is set to US or UK English.

You can still use it with (I'm guessing now) swedish, since you can select 2 languages - but US or UK English has to be the top one of those two.

I now did a factory reset and did a new installation with the iPad set to English.

Then the dots appeared.

So, the Google Home need to be English from start.

I tried to change after the installation (when app in Swedish was used) but that did not help.

A bit cumbersome for the average user, but hopefully the feature will come in Swedish language soon.
