5 CONNECT TO LOCAL NETWORK (WIFI)
Google Home offers a simple way of integrating your speakers into your local network and operating them easily: 1. Download the Google Home app on your smart device. 2. Power your speakers. IMPORTANT: Ensure power is connected for at least 1 minute for Google Home to detect your PIEGA connect plus. 3. Open the Google Home app on your smart device. 4. A message should pop-up allowing you to select your PIEGA connect plus (Stereo Hub). Alternatively, you can add a new device by pressing «+» in the upper area of the screen. 5. Follow the instructions on the app to complete the installation.
Note: If the setup with Google Home fails, we recommend using the «RESET» function on the rear panel of your PIEGA connect plus. Restarting your smart device might also help.
6 WIRELESS CONNECTION TO YOUR SPEAKERS
The «GROUP» function is only required when using several PIEGA wireless systems (more than one PIEGA connect plus). The music signal is only sent to speakers within the same group. This ensures the smooth operation of up to three independent PIEGA wireless systems in one room/flat/house.
