Home mini issues with timer function - seems to have gone all metric on me!

[Puzzlelogic]

Hi all, anyone know why when I ask my mini for a 'timer for half an hour' it comes back saying 'Sure, timer for 50 minutes.'?

Seems to think time has gone metric on us,

Hi Puzzlelogic,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community.

I know how it feels when something isn’t working as it should. Is it happening on that command only? Try the command Say "Hey Google," then "Set a timer for thirty minutes," then observe if this will work for you. You can also check your Google Assistant's My Activity section to see the command your Nest Mini heard. Check out the steps below. 

Check your Google Assistant activity history:

1. Open the Google Home app .
2. At the top right, tap your account.
3. Tap My Activity .

Check this article for more information about timers. 

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Juni

Yes - this is a simple fix to the issue but it is just a workaround.  the issue i have is asking for 'half an hour' and getting 'ok 50 minutes'.  Of course it is going to be ok asking for 30 minutes.

Hi Puzzlelogic,

I just replicated the command to set timer for half an hour and it worked on our test device. Could you verify if it's already working on your end?

It would help a lot if you could do a sequential reboot first: 

1. Unplug the power cord of your router followed by your Nest speakers.
2. Plug them back in after 3 minutes.
3. Restarting your phone might also help.

Keep me posted.

Best,

Dan
