I own the original first-generation Google Home—the exact model shown here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Nest_(smart_speakers)#/media/File:Google_Home_sitting_on_table....
Unfortunately, it's no longer usable. The device itself is fully functional, but the setup process through the Google Home app fails to complete. The app detects it via Bluetooth, connects it to Wi-Fi, and goes through the motions, but at the final step it tells me to update the Google app—even though it’s already up to date—and refuses to finish the setup.
I had hoped there might be a workaround, like using a custom solution via the Google Home API. But from what I’ve seen, this device is no longer supported by the API either.
