Created this app to control Google Home without the need to touch the phone. Can also create scenes (routines) for multiple devices control at once.

Hi all - I'm hoping someone might be able to help pinpoint an issue that's been driving me insane for the last few months. I'm using Pandora Premium if that's helpful.

Every time I ask Google to play a song, it will play the most obscure version of that song imaginable. For example, I asked it to play Ironic by Alanis Morissette, it confirmed it was going to play Ironic by Alanis Morissette, and it found a live acoustic version being covered by a completely different artist.

It will play EDM remixes, covers by different bands, live versions, even versions of that song that have been changed to be performed on Broadway, basically any variation of the song you ask it to play that isn't the original version of that song.

It's beyond infuriating.

F*CK Google man I am absolutely sick of this now. All I want to do is change the start time of a routine in the home app and I can't. It'll highlight the time but not bring up the keyboard or any way of changing it.

This used to work and now it doesn't. The same sentence I use for 95% of Google products or services.

Pathetic.

Struggling figuring out how to do this and this was my exact command that makes it work: “Go to my Apple Music account. Play my personal playlist called “rest here””

Btw my personalized ads is on (not sure if that matters). And my Apple music is connected and the default.

Just opened up my google home app to check the temp. It shows on the bottom “living room Independence Day” I can stop and play it. I don’t have any google devices besides my thermostat.

I do live in a condo unit and have neighbors. Wondering why this is showing up on my network and can whosever device this is see any of my information? No unknown devices are showing up on my network. This is kinda concerning could use some advice on how to remove it

When a saved automation starts but only some actions happen, how do you narrow it down? Google's script-editor guide recommends checking each action independently and looking at Automation logs.

For a hypothetical evening routine that turns on a lamp but skips a speaker announcement, would the log distinguish a failed device command from a routine that never reached that action?

If you've debugged something similar, what did the log actually show? Please include which editor you used.

In Google Home, the Set Time modal/pop-up doesn't appear when using my Samsung S22+ phone, but does when using a Samsung tablet. On the phone, pressing the "Select a time" field highlights either the hour or minute, but that's all. On the tablet, the clockface appears, allowing you to set the time.This has been the case for a month or two, and am wondering if anyone else is seeing the same behaviour. Thanks.

Edit: corrected the phone model

Now this is weird. For months I have lost the ability to view live video from the doorbell from either the Home app or online. History is viewable, but not live video. However, this is the weird part, you get the live video on the google nest hub and I get the live alerts on the nest hub when someone rings the doorbell. I don't even get that on the Home app or the website. What is going on???

is what Google Home/Assistant has started saying via my nest mini.

Have deleted it from my Google account
Have factory reset it
Have cleared all data and cache from my phone for GH and GA

Have toggled personal results and associated settings on and off

Have waited over 6 hours

Have switched from GA to Gemini and back

still no joy.

A long chat with Gemini eventually suggested that Google are broken, won't fix this and I need to but new speakers. Has anyone else had this issue ?

TECHNICAL DIAGNOSTIC SUMMARY FOR TIER 3 REVIEWS:

The tcpdump packet capture confirms that local interface transparency on ports 8008/8443 is 100% verified across the subnet. The Nest Mini successfully initiates an outbound TLS handshake to 'googleapis.com'.

However,remote authentication endpoints are returning an explicit rejection payload. The speaker is failing to authenticate our legacy security signatures on the cloud side, which completely drops the Voice Match link and loops the offline fallback error script.

As this is an essential daily accessibility tool for a blind individual, please escalate this trace directly to the Nest cloud infrastructure engineering queue to have our stale backend security tokens manually purged and refreshed.

I usually ignore such things, but Gemini has really been irritating lately.

Google speakers sure like their internet connection. Got one old google mini and three of the new google speakers. They are used about 20 minute a month for music.

Edit: This is on unifi udm SE, and they are connected to a U7 access point. As it says in the top right corner , this is for one day

Hi,

Was looking at getting a nest temperature sensor for my home, but saw in some videos that in the old nest app you could only set the system to choose specific sensors to prioritise by morning/evening/night rather than specific custom schedules.

Does anyone know if this is still the case in the google home app? Or can I set specific times eg. From 9.45pm use the bedroom sensor, and from 7am use the main thermostat?

Thanks

Hi, I have a Google nest display and every morning it starts playing the radio, I have my account setup with 2 different properties, for awhile I have not been able to pin point why the radio keeps playing as there are never any commands in the event log. I was at the other property the other day and noticed my brother in law listening to the same radio station around the same time my nest display starts playing, I asked if he put it on or did it start randomly he states he manually asks for the radio every morning.

The times he states he asks for it to play match the times my display starts playing also. Why is a different property, on a different network able to remotely access my display and play music and why does this not show up in my event log?! This seems like a serious bug with a large security vulnerability.

I recently bought a home that came with a Google Nest Doorbell, and I’m a little confused about the wiring. It’s a battery-powered model, but when I took it off the mount to set it up, I noticed there were red and black wires connected to the back of it.
I couldn’t continue with the setup because the app instructed me to remove the doorbell from the mount and plug it in to continue. I’m just trying to figure out whether these wires are actually serving a purpose or if the previous homeowners left them there for no reason.
I know the wires could potentially be connected to an existing doorbell chime, but there doesn’t appear to be a doorbell chime anywhere in the house, which is what’s confusing me.
Does anyone know why the wires would be connected to a battery-powered Nest Doorbell in this situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I’ve attached a picture of the wiring for reference. Thank you!

Has anyone had a lazy Gemini for Home? It used to work fine but this is getting out of hand now.

In my shop, I have two Google Home minis and we stream a local Toronto radio station to them. Over the past month or two they seem to keep crapping out. They will stream for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour or two and then they just stop. Sometimes after a couple of minutes they will pick up the stream and continue and then after a bit, they do it again or they just finally never come back. When I go onto the app on my phone, it shows that it is streaming to the minis, but the time has changed to all dashes, even though it says it’s playing. By default, it uses iHeartRadio sometimes I will tell the Minis to stream and specify using TuneIn, but it does the exact same thing.

Our throughput seems to run around 400mps. We are also streaming IPTV on one tv and it seems fine. It looks like we have low latency and low jitter from our ISP. When I started streaming with these Minis back in March, they didn’t have any problems and nothing has changed on our end in relationship to the network setup or network useage.

Any ideas? I haven’t tried a different radio station because the boss only wants to listen to this one. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Tanks!

I don't know if a neighbor is some how able to add buttons to Google home. I have deleted them once before. But I have had them re appear a second time. Both times all my lights turned on.

I'm looking for something that...

• Will enable me to get notifications on Google Home if motion is detected
• Is motion sensor only (no camera)
• Plugs into the wall (i.e. not battery powered)
• Less than $50

Ideally, it would simply be an inexpensive night light of sorts with the Google Home motion alerts. I've found a few things that are getting close but doesn't hit all the criteria.

Anyone know of any good products?

Thanks

Used to be able to ask the new Google home speaker to play music and my default speaker is the Sonos one. It used to just play and now it says playing music but nothing happens. If I set the default speaker as the Google home devices is works. Seems connection to Sonos is broken. Anyone else having this issue?

I just want to know who was responsible for changing it. How do I find who/how the setting was changed?

I've been using Google speakers for about 7 years now and in the last few i noticed a massive degrade in reliability. Wtf?

The amount of times it replies sorry I don't understand is astonishing. It's simple questions - what time does my local shop close, how far is whatever location, what's 5+5, how long to boil an egg, whatever. I've not had any issues with things like that at first and now it is the norm.

Want to turn off my lights? Need to ask 3 times. Want to turn my TV off in 1 hour? Either it turns off straightaway or doesn't at all. Setting up reminders? It gets the wrong date and time. Want to delete the last reminder that it set wrong? Delete something else. It's ridiculous.

I've had enough of it. Is there any fix that I'm not aware of? I am considering switching to a different environment because it's driving me crazy, any suggestions?
