Why is Google Home such pure and utter garbage?

[MikeFromHouston]

Nothing ever works and when it does work it is half baked. None of my routines start on time if it all. I get "sorry I don't understand" when asking this POS to do the most simplest of tasks. The home app will show all my devices as disconnected, but they aren't? My Nest Hub will sometimes not even start my alarm. I've been late to work 3 times over this POS. Nothing but bugs and empty promises. Is anything ever going to change, or does this sh*t need to go in the garbage? So tired of this half baked trash ecosystem that barely works.

If an alarm is set then the nest Hub should have at least a little Alarm or clock symbol in the lower left of the screen or if the alarm is upcoming the time should be shown as pictured when the display is dimmed.

Maybe performing a Reboot of the Hub through the Home app (if it's visible to you) would help.

None of that works. Been did all that. The platform just sucks.

I wouldn't think any less of you if you chose to use Alexa instead. I use both platforms at the same time as there's advantages and disadvantages with both.

Google has the better app and display, while the Echo speakers (Echo, Dot, etc.) are better than the Nest Minis.

Alexa probably has just got the edge over Google for me right now.
