Hello, I have an issue with which Google device responds when I access Google Assist. So, if I were in my bedroom and want my phone to respond but I hear that my Google Hub that's located in the kitchen responding. How can I dictate which device responds and when? I don't believe that my Hub can actually here me, and my phone is definitely activating Google Assist on the home screen. Thanks for any help you can provide

I am having the same issue. I am in a 1200 sq foot house and the wrong device always responds.
I have:
Here are the steps I tried to get my Hub Max to respond to setting a stopwatch.
How do I get the correct device to respond without turning off the mics on all the other devices in the house? I tried the sensitivity and it did not work. I do not understand how my Hub Max is recognizing my voice and command but will then set the stopwatch on a different device. I would expect saying something like "Hey Google start stopwatch on device xxxx" would actually set the stopwatch on device xxxx vs a random Nest device.

Yes. Acongalton explained it perfectly. When I'm in my bedroom (which is pretty close to the kitchen) and I want my Pixel 6 to do something, the words I am saying type out on my phone but then I hear Google Hub Max in the kitchen respond and performs whatever action I requested

Yes, it is still an issue. Why would you imagine it wasn't? There has been no response with a fix and afaik no software update to fix the problem

Yes this is still an issue, read my detailed explanation above.

This is still an issue. I wrote about it in January and you are just responding. I responded on Wednesday and still waiting to hear from you. What is the point of these forums if no help for a Google specialist?

Yes I am definitely having this issue I hate having your speaker and I'm going to get rid of it if you can't fix it somehow I have to physically unplug it every time I want my phone to do something when I want to ask Google.

I'm also having this issue, and it is frustrating. I often ask for a timer from my Google display in the kitchen, but I get a response on my Google speaker upstairs, which I can barely hear from the kitchen. Later, when I ask how much time is left on the timer, the kitchen responds with "you don't have any timers set." Once the time is up, the upstairs speaker plays the alarm. Is Google planning on fixing this anytime soon?

Let me join the rest and say I'm having the same problem. I have Google Home (bedroom), Nest Hub (kitchen), Nest Mini (master bath), Nest Mini (other bathroom), and Google Mini (office). I also own a Pixel 6. Sensitivity adjustments have not had an impact.

I have the same exact problem. I will literally whisper "hey Google, connect" to the Nest Hub in my kitchen, but then the Nest Mini in my living room tries (and fails) to connect to Bluetooth devices. Sometime I have to repeat 2 or 3 times before the kitchen one finally responds.

Yes, this is a huge problem and crazy that there is no response. I feel like one time I said 'hey Google you responded on the wrong device' and it actually acknowledged that, but it wasn't those words (I can't remember how I worded it), those words actually had the words pop up saying it responded on a different device (kind of slapping me in the face 😊)
