Home Mini/No App

[jljecj]

My home mini is linked to my account, however, I uninstalled the Google home app on my tablet. It is still working. Anyone else try this?
I know there are several different apps for casting via Chromecast so makes sense to me that it works without an app; just didn't know it would. What does the home mini require to be operational? I don't want to disable it by mistake.

Once set up I imagine the device will work to some extent without the Home app installed on your device as it doesn't really rely on the device for much once it's set up.

I prefer that to the device being tied to an app. I'm impressed.
