How to configure a Google Home Mini?

I have two Google Home Mini devices, connected and operational.

I would like to use them in HA as speakers to either send some messages via tts or stream some internet radio using it as a media player.

I found examples on how to use them in both cases but for some reason I cannot find out how to configure them so that HA sees them as media_player.office and media_player.salon.

They are on the same network as HA but they do not show up in the list of devices (there can be numerous reasons for that) and therefore I wanted to hard wire them in the configuration.

I found one place whihc seems to be relevant: the advances configuration for Google Cast (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/cast/#advanced-use). The proposed entry is

# Example configuration.yaml entry
cast:
  media_player:
    - host: 192.168.1.10

How does this map with a media_player.office entry? Where can I say that 192.168.1.10 is the Google Home associated with office?
