First of all you don't have the right topics to report problems. I don't have nest aware but there's nowhere else to report it. Now let's dive right into the problems cuz there's many of them...
I've had Google Home for about 8 years never had problems like this bs... And I was forced to get premium to operate the same crap that the original Google Home did for free!
1. When asking my Google display a question in the living room I have to run to the bedroom which is 20 ft away behind a closed door to hear the reply on my mini speaker which 9 out of 10 times is wrong to begin with or not what I'm looking for.
2. Automations are worse than ever I've always had problems with automations breaking every other week now it's almost every other day, but for the longest time they kept telling me they put new scripts in to prevent that? I'm laughing about it right now!
3. When asking Google to perform a certain task now, 9 out of 10 times Google gets the wrong task or does something random or just doesn't do anything. More often than not when asking Google to do a certain task Google asks ridiculous questions which one do you want to do blah blah blah blah... Utterly useless, let's put it like this I ask Google what the time and date was one day Google got the correct time but the wrong date how the hell does that even happen?
4. For whatever reason Google has doubled all my devices now, which makes Google Home impossible to use because in order to turn off one of my lights I have to answer which light which light of the two lights I have suddenly which I don't physically have.
5. I've been reading all kinds of reviews just to see if anybody else is experiencing the problems that I'm experiencing and everybody's experiencing the same **bleep** problems! Which leaves me to one conclusion your Google Gemini AI bull**bleep** doesn't work!
And here's one more thing that's absolutely funny after going through all the BS to try to get things to work right Google turned around says I can't control your devices from the app 😂 come on get **bleep**ing serious...
I have experimented with Alexa last night and have made a decision to get rid of all my Google products all my Google premiums and get Alexa because Alexa can control every single thing that Google used to be able to control but now it doesn't control I'm done playing the bull**bleep** Google games! You took something that was so useful and made such a disaster out of it!
I'm done!

Might as well put a disclaimer in that says Google will get things right once in awhile instead of AI will get things wrong once in awhile!

Holy **bleep** Google literally just said can't do anything right now literally just said that... Google literally said it can't control devices it can't control apps so what the f good is Google Home right now?

Hi @duglop,
Thanks for reaching out to the community. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with your Google Nest devices, particularly with the current state of your automations and voice responses. It sounds quite inconvenient when the Nest Display in another room responds instead of the one right in front of you, making simple tasks harder to complete. I understand how disappointing it is when features feel unreliable, especially when you have a premium subscription and feel like you can't control things through the Google Home app as expected. I appreciate the detailed information you've shared regarding your device's performance. Don't worry, I'd be more than glad to share more details with you.
Your feedback about the software and the subscription experience is very important to us. To ensure your voice reaches the right people, I recommend submitting your feedback using the following link: feedback form. It helps us develop new features, improve existing ones, and ensure our devices are meeting your needs.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
