How do I do this
First I don't understand this
Google home will run off a usb port with max current at 500ma
Why is the power supply rated at 1.8 amps
Ok I have run 4 runs throughout my house using 2 pair 18 gauge phone wire I have doubled up on the pairs, runs are about 50 feet
I found a wall wart rated at 5v 2.5 amp so I spliced that to one end and when I tried the google home it would keep rebooting when I measured the voltage it was about 4.7v
So
I found another wall wart rated at 5.8v 1amp and I put a couple zener diodes at the other end to bring it down a couple points, google home would still keep rebooting If I removed both diodes it wont come on at all.
So
How do I go about powering the google home mini that far from the power source
Thanks
