Multiple Nest and Speakers Responding to Commands

mwilliams1220 — Sun, 19 May 2024 12:54:27 GMT

We have been enjoying our Google Home setup for over a year andhave had not problems. Yesterday multiple displays and speakers began replying to questions/commands. In the bedroom, when I say "Hey Google, what is the temperature?" the display in the bedroom, speaker in the kitchen, my Pixel phone and the speaker in the kitchen would all respond.

This is new behavior which leads me to think that it is not a sensitivity issue or placement issue. I haven't made any changes to the setup we have been using. So is it a setting issue? A glitch? An unpredicatable result of something Gogle has done on their end?

Most importantly, how do I get it back so only the closest device would respond?

There are a few things you can check:

It's probably also worth turning them all off, leaving them off for at least 30 seconds, then turning them back on?

Thank you for your response. I did try rebooting everything and also lowering the sensitivity. That has helped. I still don’t understand why it suddenly happened this weekend after working perfectly for so long.
