Home Application Not Responding

MrJinx — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 16:02:21 GMT

Home application is not responding when the volume is changed per speaker or as a group. Also, the stop cast function is not working from the single speaker screen and group screen.

Have you tried rebooting the speaker and if that doesn't help do a full factory reset. Factory reset Google Nest or Home speakers or displays - Google Nest Help ?

yes, i've rebooted all of my speakers several times.

no, I will not factory reset my speakers. I've done that too many times as it is.

my speaker group of 11 speakers worked yesterday and this morning without an issue. i don't know what google did today. this is their problem.

When was the last time you updated the Google Home APP?

unfortunately, i'm on the dog-food preview version. from my time using that version, the app is full of bugs.

I'm multi-tasking and not on-line every minute of the day. Truly I'm sorry my replies aren't fast enough for you.

I'm assuming you beta test?

Re: Home Application Not Responding

I'm running Google Home APP version 2.62.80.2 on a Pixel phone.

I have 2 Google Home Minis, 1 Google Home and a pair of Nest Audio speakers. Plus I use a Google wifi router and point as part of my speaker system.

Tell me about your setup? What type of phone or device do you have the Google Home APP installed on?

Re: Home Application Not Responding

MrJinx — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 18:27:15 GMT

unfortunately, i am. i requested to be removed from the beta test and returned to previous version of the Home app. google told me I have to wait till the preview program is pushed.

google's support is terrible. i'll never recommend their products. complete trash

Re: Home Application Not Responding

Your setup suits google simple environment.

i have 19 speakers.

10 Nest Audio

4 Nest Minis

3 Home

2 Home Minis

I used a google wifi router but outgrew it. I switched to the Nest Pro Mess. However, that didn't cast to all of my speakers. For its cost, the Nest Pro Mesh is garbage.

I'm on a TP-Link Deco AX3000 WiFi 6 Mesh System Deco X55 router. For a few days, things worked better. I could cast up to 12 speakers. Then 11.

This morning I've had more problems. Currently, I can broadcast to one speaker.

Unfortunately it sounds what you are experiencing is the downside of beta testing. Personally I don't suggest beta testing with one's own devices. Beta testing is all about finding the glitches and troubleshooting the issue before the product goes out to the entire public.

Re: Home Application Not Responding

MrJinx — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 18:42:46 GMT

I completely agree. Hindsight being 20/20, I would never sign up for beta testing again. That being said, removing the beta app should not require a pint of blood.

After many hours of frustration, my conclusion is the goggle home app is trash and should not be used with more than five speakers. Complete garbage. Them and their programs are a waste

Re: Home Application Not Responding

no, it did not

Re: Home Application Not Responding

Sadly it legally depends on the wording of the Beta agreement you signed with Google. Did you read the agreement or were you just anxious to sign up with the data and explore something new?

Re: Home Application Not Responding

MsDrasby — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 15:36:16 GMT

Well, do you really think the average consumer would be using more than a handful of speakers with the Google home app?

Re: Home Application Not Responding

MsDrasby — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 15:37:41 GMT

Theoretically, when it comes to beta testing there is no support. The person who is testing the beta product is responsible for figuring out glitches and reporting them.
