Google Home Hub stupidity

[richj44]

I'm not surprised, really, but after responding perfectly to the command "Okay Google, stream the back yard camera", my Home Hub decided two days ago that it had no freaking idea what I'm talking about when I give that command.  I get "I don't know, but I found these results on search".  Good grief.

I now have to swipe the screen, choose "Home Controls", then "Cameras", then tap the "Back Yard Camera".  It streams it just fine.  But the verbal command is gone.  As is any combination of words I can think of, such as "Stream the camera in the back yard".  Or "show" instead of "stream.  Or anything else.  

Man, this gets old.

We started to have the same problem a couple of months ago until we renamed our "Back Yard" camera to "Backyard" (one word).  Seriously, that fixed the problem!

I'll give it a try, thanks for the suggestion.  Of course, if it works then in another month or so I'm sure it will change back and not recognize my request and I'll have to rename it yet again. 🙄

Yep, that did the trick.  Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it.
