Does anyone know if a google nest will work from a modified sine wave inverter ?
And what damage will it do if I plug in and try it, gift so I don't really want to fry it.
It has a fixed 230v plug on it so running from a usb doesn't look like an option.
TIA

 

[Jim]

Did it work?

 

[Figaro]

Dunno, didn`t dare risk it

Looks like nobody else knows either, I might try it tomorrow ?

You can get usb power for an amazon echo dot so I guess Google Nest will also have similar.

The Google Nest Hub has a mains plug and ac-dc adapter as one thing and is hard wired to the hub.
Not looking easy to adapt to USB power.
If you're technical enough to re-wire an out of warranty Nest maybe there's a write up/video for the conversion online.

I`ll have a look

Edit : couldn`t find anything but interestingly some of the Google nest minis featured in videos had mini usb connections

I believe it's a 20v DC supply
Edit 30 watt 24volts

Surely not hardwired?
Is there not a barrel jack at the device end?

Actually looked with my eyes
The lead does end in a plug.
Looks like A 3mm mini-jack

 

[Itsmcb]

This or something similar would probably do the job with a suitable jack

 

[Figaro]

Just had a look, the lead to it does end in a jack that plugs in, but from Itsmcb info it`s not going to work from a 5v usb.
So I`m still wondering if it will work from my modified sine wave inverter ?

Ah, thanks for that

What Google product do you have?
The mains plug/adaptor combo will have details of its input AC voltage & output DC voltage written on it.

The brief look I had suggests 15w but at what voltage I don't know.
But like powering a laptop, it makes no sense taking 12v up to 230v to know it down to 16 or 17v

Maybe not USB powered but 12v cig socket - this sort of thing?

EDIT: sorry, my reply was right but meant for the OP

15watts suggests you've a Google Nest Hub like me
Later I can look at my Nest Hub - maybe even stick a DMM onto the mini jack

No... as originally said... I have similar but different Amazon Echo Dots

 

[Manic]

I don’t know the answer but our Dyson and Apple computer both wouldn’t work on a modified sine inverter but no harm was caused in trying them.

There’s different wattages for other Nest branded Google things but I knew my Nest was 15w

I have my Amazon Dot 3rd gen running direct from vans 12V system. What power does the nests plug output?

My Google Nest Hub ac adapter is putting out 13.98v unloaded
The Nest hub is the device that’s like a photo frame.

 

[Itsmcb]

The link I put in post 9 above lists all the Google devices and expands to show the power requirements. Some will work from a usb socket, most wont. I'm still not positive which device the OP has

Yep, that’s where we’re at. Needing to know the OP’s actual device.
There’s several devices with the Nest name.
And two versions of the Nest Hub - one with a 15w adapter, the other with a 30w one.

So thats bigger than just a small speaker, I googled Nest and loads of devices came up.

Sorry, been distracted today ..........

I have the Google Nest Mini 2nd Gen. There is a 230v plug and fixed lead with a jack plug on the end so no micro usb into the device.
The cigarette adapter linked by Langtoftlad might be the answer ? if it can increase 12v to 24v without issues or overheating. It would seem to make more sense than running through the inverter ?
Thanks all for input

The Google nest MINI 2nd generation is different again. The transformer/plug outputs 14v @ 1.1amps.

• AC adapter
• Model G1030
• Input: 100-240V-0.4A
• 50-60Hz
• Output: 14V=1.1A
• LPS

It appears that the nest hub and the nest mini may use the same AC adapter plug?

I wonder since it works on 14v whether it would work on 12.7/12.8v (ish) direct from a hab battery ??
