Keeps turning off

Why does the nest keep turning off?

I found out if you have a camera connected to a Google assistant like the speakers, anyone can turn them off. It could be innocent like turn everything off, or someone intentionally commanding it off. Imagine breaking in and telling the security system to turn off. Genius. I kind of want to try this on a nest in public. It wouldn't surprise me if the package thieves just tell it turn off.

I don't think you can even talk to Google Assistant through a Google Nest camera. And I don't think you can turn cameras on and off through a Google Assistant spoken command.  And if it were possible, a package thief would need to know the name of your camera.
