• TV is streaming a soccer game
• me to speaker in bathroom: "hey google, can I (loses train of thought)...cancel"
• GA: "okay, stopping living room TV"
• me to speaker in bathroom: "hey google, resume living room TV"
• "nothing's playing right now"
#2
• on hub in kitchen, streaming BBC radio station, clicks on "home group" button to play on all speakers
• it starts playing on the other speakers for a second and then pauses forcing me to have to click play (and it's not a buffering issue, I've patiently waited to test this out)
#3
• me to any speaker: "hey google, play SONG NAME on home group"
• GA: "I'm sorry, I can't find a home group (yet I can click on it on my nest hub screen just fine and it'll play to the home group)"
#4
• me to any speaker: "hey google, play SONG NAME"
• *song starts playing*
• hey google, play on my home group
• GA: "I'm sorry, something went wrong"
#5
• "hey google, turn off my living room light"
• GA: "I'm sorry, it looks like that device isn't available right now"
• I immediately say the same thing again and it turns off
#6
• "hey google, please play (current song) on home group"
• "Sorry, I can't find a home group. Please make sure that device is turned on and connected to the internet."
#7
• "hey google, set living room light to 100%"
• sets it to last setting which was 30%
• one time I said 100% again and it still set it at the last 30% setting, then on the third time it changed it (this has happened twice now)
So yeah, I'm really not a huge advocate anymore, I feel like in the last year or two shit has been going backwards with their AI shit.

They're punching WAY above their weight in stereo mode as far as sound quality goes.

I mean, seriously, how is it that in this day and age Google can f-up something like audio groups? Do they not have QA labs?!? I'm done buying into Google's ecosystem.

Unless you actually want the Google Assistant support, get an Anker Soundcore speaker on sale with the graphic EQ in the app. Even if you want a Google Home, you can save money and buy a mini, then buy decent speakers for music separately.

I do wonder if most are just repeating what's in popular Reddit groups of years past.
To be clear, I don't own these but can't imagine them being much different to Hub or Max
Like speakers I really like it. I am not expecting Bose quality for 50$. Probably for 25$ each I will grab 2 more but 50 no. With all of those bugs. Also this is old product. Unsure about future support.
