Hello @Stefanie 

An official response from Google regarding the speaker pair/group volume adjustment issues ongoing since ~15 December would be greatly appreciated by many, many frustrated customers across the globe.

Below is the most active thread on this forum. However, you will find more threads on this forum, at the Google Assistant support forum, and at Reddit /googlehome & /googleassistant - all regarding the same issue.

I have 2 NEST Learning thermostats.  One will not connect to my wifi.  I switched the faceplates and the one faceplate will still not connect to wifi not matter which room it is in.  Any troubleshooting ideas?  I did the full reset however the same one still cannot connect to wifi.

Dear Google,

For being bad this past year, please send me the following to make up for the crap you've sold me over the years.......

One of these:

https://www.amazon.com/Echo-Show-5-2nd-Gen-2021-release/dp/B08J8FFJ8H/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1TT21S91S4R0J&...

Two of these:

https://www.amazon.com/Echo-Studio/dp/B07G9Y3ZMC/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2C5UF0QZ0VOO4&keywords=echo&qid=###...

Six of these:

https://www.amazon.com/All-new-Echo-Dot-Blue/dp/B084J4MZK8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=16VU04SYJUQ4A&keywords=ec...

and three of these:

https://www.amazon.com/all-new-fire-tv-stick-4k-with-alexa-voice-remote/dp/B08XVYZ1Y5/ref=sr_1_1?cri...

Two of these (as they won't work with the new Echo Show that you're sending me):

https://www.amazon.com/Ring-Spotlight-Battery-Security-Two-Way/dp/B0776ZCMMR/ref=sr_1_2?crid=ADJ5WXA...

One of these, because of the same reason above:

https://www.amazon.com/All-new-Ring-Stick-Up-Cam-Battery-HD-security-camera-with-two-way-talk-Works-...

One of these, again because the new system you're sending me isn't compatible:

https://www.amazon.com/Ring-Alarm-14-piece-kit-2nd/dp/B08YMBQJ49/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9TJX2QM4O07F&keywor...

I'm sure you've got my address on file, but feel free to send me an email if you need reminding.

I look forward to receiving them in the next few days. P.S. If you have a Prime account, you get "free" next day shipping!

Thanks so much for your continued excellence in customer service.
