I recently integrated a robot vacuum into google home and I can't make google assistant recognize its name. It's spelled "Cleanu Reeves" with the first name pronounced like Keanu. I have to say "Clean oo Reeves" which ruins it for me.
I tried setting a device nickname for it in Home control -> device as "phonetically" as possible (kleeyaw nu reeves) which all text-to-speech programs I've tried pronounce it ALMOST correctly, and I'd think certainly close enough for assistant to pick it up - but no 😞
I've read suggestions about teaching google devices to pronounce names of PEOPLE correctly, but can I teach it the name of the device?
Thanks!

Cleanu Reeves 😄s
Share feedback by telling your device to "share feedback" then recording the message. There really isn't a way yet to correct a device name pronunciation like in your vac's name situation.

I've done this now, thanks. Fortunately my mopping robot, Optimus Grime, is easily recognized.
