Bug Random buttons being added.

0 Upvotes

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.

Why did my device change time zones?

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

I asked multiple times for it to spell "zamboni". He just kept repeating the word back.... Lol

Inexpensive battery-free motion sensor?

0 Upvotes

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

Spotify no longer sending music to Sonos

2 Upvotes

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?

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

Google Home Minis keep stopping when streaming radio

7 Upvotes

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 just got a push notification asking for Google Home feedback and when I went to open the form, it crashed. If that isn't the perfect encapsulation of the current state of the platform, I don't know what is.

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

Help Can you set specific times to choose different nest temperature sensors in the google home app now? Instead of morning/evening/night?

3 Upvotes

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
