Hey Google Sensitivity

[DrCyKosis]

Something has changed with the Google Home Speaker's firmware.  I can whisper a command 6inches away from a speaker, and EVERY speaker in the house will respond.

It's impossible that they ALL could have heard what I said. Even though I've lowered the "Hey Google" sensitivity all the way down on those speakers...it makes NO difference.

It is MAJORLY annoying starting a stream, and EVERY speaker in the house starts playing.

Again...it's impossible when whispering a command, that speakers 50feet down the hall could POSSIBLY have heard.

I have 6 speakers, and been using these devices for 5years...something has changed with the developers, and the when whole **bleep** thing is BROKEN!

I’m having the same issue as well think it’s something to do with the sonos lawsuit

I don't mind at all if the Google developers made the devices MORE sensitive, as long as they modify the app to have a greater sensitivity range so I can adjust them optimally.

But just -2 down and +2 up...isn't enough.  There needs to be more levels down to reduce the sensitivity even more.

Wouldn't think that's asking too much.

So I removed all eight Google Devices (including two Chromecasts),  deleted/created a whole new "Home" name, uninstalled the Google Home App, reinstalled it, added back all devices...still no difference.

I find it hard to believe I'm the only one with this issue.  Can't get any help from Google nor the community...so I turned ON the "Preview Program" hoping for a firmware upgrade to extend the sensitivity levels (both - and +).

Otherwise, the whole system has become useless.  Thanks for ANY input or guidance from Google and the Community.

Regards...
