I have a stack of Google Home minis, and it's a pile of trash Im trying to get away from.
You ask it to play music, it says "ok" and then just do nothing at all.
And these days it has the nifty AI stuff in it to. So it hallucinates some answers too!
You really think I'm looking forward to a new speaker from Google?
I have an automation to play online radio on my Nest mini. I always just said "Hey google, stop." to make it silent.
After a while it just answered "There's nothing playing right now." and it continued to play the radio. I haven't found a way to stop it short of unplugging it from the wall.
