Frequent Proxitemity Issues

roarfrom44 — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 21:20:27 GMT

I could say something to my Google Home speaker at a low volume in one room, but frequently a different device in another room will answer me or execute the command I gave.

For example, I used to be able to tell my bathroom speaker to play music with no problem. But now instead of playing the music from the bathroom speaker I gave the command to, it will send the command to my TV in a different part of the house and play the music there. Having to repeat these commands multiple times on top of power cycling the devices makes for a very frustrating experience.

Hi roarfrom44,

That certainly hasn't been easy for you ― let’s check this out.

Few questions:What Google Home/Nest speaker do you have? Does your TV have a built-in Chromecast or a Chromecast dongle? If yes, what Chromecast do you use? Does it happen when playing music or with any other commands?

Could you do a reboot first starting with your WiFi router, TV, then your Google Home/Nest speaker. Restarting your phone might also help. Also, try the steps below:

Make sure your mobile device or tablet is linked to the same account as your Chromecast or speaker.
Open the Google Home app .
Touch and hold your device's tile.
At the top right, tap Settings Audio, then:
- To choose the TV or speaker you want to use when you play music, tap Default music speaker.
- To choose your preferred TV, tap Default TV.

You can also check out this link for more information and troubleshooting steps.

Tell me how it goes.

Best,

Dan
