Hello all
I have purchased a Mini and a regular Ghome around Christmas last year . They have been working fantastically as far as recognizing commands and such.
Hue lights, Spotify music ...etc
The only problem that I have had was not being able to open Netflix on my Android TV(Sony) although it works with a Chromecast. Nobody was able to explain why, but I could live with that
Recently (past 2 months or so) the voice recognition got so bad to the point that I would go and grab my phone and do whatever command I wanted (mostly turning on and off the lights).
Unlike initially when I could say it across the room (Hey Google turn the bedroom lights off) , now it keeps on saying "Sorry I cannot help with that" and so on. Or it would be picking up a totally random word and screw up the whole sentence. I have not changed anything in my setup, i have reset the bejesus out of all my equipment with no luck.
It became so frustrating but what is even more frustrating is that I have no clue what caused it.
Tried closer, literally yelling from right above it with no success. It would take it let's say, out of 10 attempts maybe 2 will be going through, unless I get pissed and drop it altogether. This is happening on both the Mini and the "big" Ghome.
Has anyone experienced the same issues with their devices lately? If yes have you guys been able to fix it or it's just one of the Google screwups that will be fixed whenever will be fixed?
The Google reps when chatting are useless and keep giving me useless troubleshooting steps that I have already done.
Funny thing is that if I say the same commands to my phone it takes it right away .
Thank you for your input
