Google Home Mini as Media Player

I saw a conversation tonight on the Discord about GH Minis not showing up as Media Players in Home Assistant. Is this true for everyone using them? I am planning on using them for TTS in my kids rooms and will have to find a work around if this is the case. Your experience would be appreciated.

I have a GH Mini but it doesn’t show up in Home Assistant :(.
If anyone knows how to achieve that…

We were discussing this on Discord and I believe you have to have discovery: on for it to catch it. Do you have discovery turned off? Or google excluded?

Totally forgot I disabled that! Thanks :).
It’s working now. After a restart of Hass I know have the Google Home Mini as mediaplayer and I can use google_say to let it say something :).

So I can confirm this is working.
