Issue with Google Voice Assistant Handling Multiple Commands

We observed an inconsistency in how Google Voice Assistant (GVA) handles multiple commands:

When the command is structured as "Turn on Light 1 and Kitchen AC", GVA processes the traits for both devices within a single command. The response provided is "Turning on 2 things", and if both devices are of the same type (e.g., lights), the response is more specific, such as "Turning on 2 lights".

However, when the command is structured as "Turn on Light 1 and turn on Kitchen AC", GVA processes the traits for the two devices as separate commands. In this scenario, no verbal response is provided, and it falls into what appears to be a "silent acknowledgment" mode.

Expected Behavior: For both command structures, GVA should ideally provide a consistent verbal response, acknowledging the execution of commands for all devices.

Actual Behavior:

Single command structure ("Turn on Light 1 and Kitchen AC") receives a proper verbal acknowledgment. Split command structure ("Turn on Light 1 and turn on Kitchen AC") does not receive any verbal acknowledgment. Request: Please confirm if this behavior is intended or if it's a limitation/bug in GVA. Additionally, guidance on how to ensure consistent verbal responses for both command formats would be appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi abhijith007,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I understand that you tried to use 2 commands at the same time and it didn't work. I'm happy to assist you with this!

The command that you tried to use to ask for 2 actions simultaneously is available in the U.S. Please let me know if you are located in the U.S.

I will be awaiting your response.

 

Regards,
Manuel
