Pretty much since I had to transition to google home, all my original Nest branded products that came with my home when I bought it (Nest Hello Doorbell, + Nest Cam Outdoors) have been wildly inconsistent or downright missing major events/people/packages).

I have tried resetting the cameras, deleting video history and even creating "zones" to try and switch things up but I basically have a 50% at best working devices. Some Examples:

1. Doorbell Cam marking anything important as "motion" - does not pick up packages/people unless they are legit dropped directly in front of the camera. I have a ~20 ft wide porch on my house and 4 stairs on one side: the stairs and thus somebody coming up to them are very visible in the shot. it will sometimes register it as "motion" but not a "person" or a "package", so typically I only find out a package has made it if I happen to check the camera. Before "gemini", there was zero issue with this.

1a. I also almost never get notifications from "familiar faces" anymore. Used to pick up even the mailman and now it doesnt even pick me up unless I'm staring at it trying to fix it

1. Outdoor Cam - considers cars as "people". Almost once a day, the camera that is on my garage will register an event as a "person", when in fact its just a car driving by lol. You'd think all cars driving by would register the same then right? Nope, just random

2. Doorbell Cam Missing Major Events - This bothers me like no other, but the camera will pickup motion of a squirell hopping across the street, but will basically shrug at a car/person/whatever lingering in front of my house (my front door cannot be more than 30 ft from the sidewalk I might add). The other day, there was a genuinely sketchy van pulled up in front of our house as I was leaving. The person was fiddling around in his trunk and was waiting to see where/when he exited and which direction he was going. Of course, the "event" stops halfway through and then the next recording is the car door closed/guy gone. There is absolutely no way the camera could have/should have missed the "person".

I don't know if I'm looking for an answer here how to fix this, or a "ya, me too" but its just so frustrating. I guess I should mention its a hardwired doorbell and I pay for the Google Home Premium Standard Sub $100)

Just for fun I set my Google home to respond in English or French. Sometime it answers in English. Sometimes in French. But the most hilarious is when it answers in some weird version of French accented English or English accented French. C’est bizarre.

Haven't open the app in a few days.

But since last Saturday when i open it.

This tetris issue show up.

The devices are set on their respective rooms and even it shows it on the description. However, instead of appearing there, they appear in the "linked to you" section. I am the only one who uses the app.

My phone is a Pixel 6.

Is this a Pixel issue? Or a Home app thing?

So, I've tried to find a solution for this issue for a while now but I can't figure it out and it realy bugs me...

Also tried looking for the solution here on Reddit, but I'm not getting any closet to resolving it so I thought I'd make my own post.

I have different brand lamps through my house. Quite annoying, but most of them were gifted so I made do. All lights are connected to the same wifi network and were working perfectly up untill a month or so ago. At that time I noticed that "Spot 2" wasn't working. Spot 2 is in a series of 4 spotlights. I got on the Home app and saw that it said that Spot 2 was offline while the other 3 are still online (same brand). However, I'm still able to turn Spot 2 on in the Hombli app.

And since a couple of days I have the same problem with a different brand of lamps too. 2 of the exact same lamps, 1 in the kitchen, 1 in the bedroom. The bedroom one works perfectly (LSC smart connect) but the kitchen is showing offline in the home app while I can still turn it on in the LSC app.

I'm at a loss. It doesn't seem like it is a wifi connection problem because the kitchen is way closer to the router than the bedroom.

Any ideas?

Same same but different, Google Home sometimes behaves unexpectedly. In my case, when I activate some routines at home, my Google Home speaker verbally runs through every single action it is taking.

Bedtime is by far the worst, as I use my Bedtime routine to turn off or otherwise change change the state of nearly every device in my apartment. So many actions, and the speaker narrates every goddamn thing:

- Closing roller shade *boop*
- Closing living room curtain *boop*
- Closing bedside curtain *boop*
- Stopping casting to all devices, nothing is playing right now *boop*
- Turning off the living room lights *boop*
- ... *boop*
- ... *boop*
- ... *boop*

My Bedtime routine had been running (more or less) flawlessly for almost 10 years.

The Gemeni "upgrade" earlier in the year was initially a little buggy, but eventually started running just fine for me. This new issuue only started a handful of weeks ago, and seems to be unique to this routine alone... I cannot figure out why it does this, and cannot fix this.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Most if not all my Nest products have successfully been transferred over to the Google Home app with no issues (1st gen outdoor cameras, Nest x Yale Locks, Nest Protects, etc.).

Currently subscribed to the Google Home Premium Standard plan (mainly for Google One storage to share with 5 other family members). Couldn't really make use of Gemini when I had the higher tier subscription to look back through video feed (live in a state where the Face Detection feature of Nest Hello/IQ cameras is not permitted meaning it wasn't something that I could actually utilize anyways).

I have used the script editor once, but no longer need it (replaced Phillips Hue bulb with Cync by GE bulb so now everything is synced better).

Lately my Home has been glitching in breaking apart devices from said rooms lol which is why I was debating on opting out.

Anything else that I'm currently missing in pointing out?

Edit: Do I still need to be in the Public Preview to access Nest x Yale lock and Nest Protect features?

- factory reset language is Japanese
- links to my wifi but I can’t use YouTube music
- bottom doesn’t show FCC marking
- wifi bands (52/53) mentioned are for Japan
- the seller claims to not know much about it (maybe never even setup??)

it happens since 10 days about. google does the sound to confirm.....but nothing. also change brightness does nothing

I have a number of smart speakers throughout the house, and we use a Chromecast with Google TV in the living room. I use a Google Mini speaker in my office for some light music while I am working. For the last month or so (I am assuming since a random Gemini Update), whenever my partner turns on the Google TV in the living room with the remote, the music in my office jumps from about 15% volume to 50% or 60%, with no warning. It isn't happening randomly, like many others are saying, but only when the tv is turned on.

Has anyone else experienced this? Found a fix? I've tried rebooting the speakers, but it is still happening, and all the results of my searches are either about random volume changes, or "lower volume when listening" settings.

Samsung S25 Ultra. It's been two weeks that I cannot summon Gemini by saying Hey Google or OK Google.

Already activated and deactivated Google on gemini and I restrained the voice match by deleting and starting again.

Not even my Galaxy Watch 7 is working anymore.

What happened? Anyone knows if they blocked this and now it is a paid feature? Why Google. Why.

preciso ficar desconectando e conectando varias vezes ate o som voltar.... ele fala que ta conectado mas n sai som. tirando o fato que desconecta sozinho do bluetooth

I have a Google home hub max and as Gemini gets better it seems like my home hub assistant gets dumber.

It never hears the right command. It turns on and off the wrong devices, it plays the wrong apps.

Is there any hope for this once decent product?

How do I make my Google home Mini use a different Google account for YouTube music because my main one doesn't have premium but my dad's does

Happened right now:

Me: Hey Google, deck light on.

\switches off the kitchen lights**

Me (sighing and rubbing the bridge of my nose): "Hey Google, deck light on and kitchen light on"

\Switches both on and asks to rate the latest interaction from 1 being the worst and 5 the best**

Me: Negative 10!!!

\I've noted that your location is [lists my mailing address] and the current date is [today's date] and time is [current time]. I've also noted the number 10.*

Me: What the F? Hey Google, delete the latest note.

\I apologize, but I didn't create any notes. I simply noted you mentioned number 10.*

Me (gives up and walks away).....

We had an extended power outage due to Hurricane Isaias, and although our generator kicked in pretty quickly, all of our Nest Protects went offline. I have tried unsuccessfully to reconnect them to WiFi, using the following steps:

1. Disable 5G WiFi so that 2.4 is the only available connection
2. Follow the instructions in settings in the Nest app (most current version) to update each Nest’s WiFi settings.
3. This completely failed (couldn’t connect to the Protects at all) until I finally removed one Nest from the Home and did a factory reset and re-added it as a new device. Now I have that Protect online, but after going through steps 1 and 2 above, the other Protects seemed to update the Wi-Fi but still show as offline in the app.
4. What’s confusing is that when I initially tried to connect my Protects, they wouldn’t even connect. After re-adding one of them as a new device, I was able to connect to the other ones, and fill in the Wi-Fi network and password, and get a message saying that the settings had been updated - but they still show “offline”.
5. Any thoughts about what to try next? Do I have to factory reset all of them?

Local network permissions are on, what a useless error page.

Reset router and WiFi multiple times over an hour of trying to set up. Also unplugged the camera. Switched between 2.4 and 5g WiFi connections at various attempts through set up flow and nothing works.

Randomly it will be able to make it to next screen but then it fails to connect to the WiFi network. Puts me back through the entire flow just to fail at this step again.

Fuck you google for ruining a perfectly good product with Nest.

As the title states, I cannot link my mini splits. Had them linked for the last 2 years but they went offline 3 days ago. Could not get them back with any troubleshooting including modem reset and power cycling the circuit breakers. So finally unlinked the comfort app. Now when I go in and try to relink it tells me it can't reach Comfort by Mitsubishi. The comfort app is functioning fine if that helps. Any ideas on how to fix?

Basically title, this morning me and my partner had to get up earlier than normal, we had set two alarms for 30 minutes apart. We of course snoozed through the first as we usually do, when the second alarm hit, we said stop, then it said "Okay stopping" kept ringing. This repeated 2 or 3 more times, still ringing but now tried to gaslight us by saying "There are no ringing timers or alarms" but would immediately go back to the alarm. Im so tired man this shit used to work just fine a decade ago

hi everyone.

Where is the youtube music apps ? i bought my google tv streamer from the usa ( ebay ) very expensive 150$ to discover that youtube music not there 🤦🤦🤦

pls dont tell me to use youtube , i wamt to listen podcasts and live audios .

thx for the help

Sorry, English is not my first language. As the title says, I can’t run automations anymore through voice commands. I’m still using the Google Assistent.

When triggering the automations by hand, they run smoothly. But every single one of my automations can’t be used by voice anymore, which is set as trigger.

Hi there so I'm facing a problem with my Google Assistant voice recognition and hey Google wake up, the problem started when I switched to custom ROM which is Evolution x Android 16 my phone is xiaomi redmi note 8 pro begonia, I've been trying so hard to get it working but it wouldn't, first of all it would stop working until I open to Gemini app and then it goes working again but recently even with opening of the Gemini application it doesn't work again, I keep saying hey Google but nothing showing up

Anyone else think it’s about time we just throw all of these in the landfill?
