My mini and hub change the home location?

Since daylight savings the location for the response to time and weather commands has been for Palo Alto. I have never been to Palo Alto and I have my home address set. I was able to correct it for a day, but for some reason it keeps switching back. Is this an update error? How do I fix this?

Palo Alto happens to be the location of Google Nest's headquarters, so it may be some sort of default location.

Other customers in this forum have reported issues with their time and location, due to timezone errors in Google Nest's database; Google Nest relies on some sort of Google location database for the whole world, but has never admitted they have errors in the database and have no process for correcting such errors.

You could try removing the devices from your Google Home app, doing a factory reset (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7073477), and reinstalling.

Thanks! I will try that out 👍
