Google home mini speaker in bathroom

[MickSmith5824]

Hi all

I've been asked to install a Google home mini speaker on wall shown in photo attached. This looks to me like would fall within zone 2? As this has 5v plug this shouldn't be an issue should it. Do I also have any IPX concerns with this. As far as my reading of regs it just seems to say for equipment in zone 2 IPX4 and IPX5 needs to be used where water jets used for cleaning purposes? Sorry for quite basic question but just dont read regs very well for bathrooms and would like to make sure would be safe

You need to check that it is suitable for installation in a bathroom.

It will probably be OK by the regulations as long as the power supply is SELV, but that doesn't mean that the steam and dampness won't wreck it.

Cheers Dave that was my concern as well but he seems to accept could be damaged and will replace as relatively cheap. In terms of making my actual connection. He has a socket on other side of wall. Do you have any recommendations how I could tap out of this without having a plug hanging out the wall?
