Google Home continues to be updated with AI-powered features with Gemini to automate certain tasks and use natural language to interact with smart home devices like never before. Now they stop working and even basic commands are unresponsive for a few days now for many users.
Using voice commands with this type of device is something already common in the daily life of many users so you can forget about looking at your phone or just know the temperature in a room.
These basic commands it may seem trivial They are very useful and are precisely the ones that have stopped working in the variety of smart devices from Google along with those from Nest.
Basic commands like know what time it is, what time it is or it will be done in the afternoon or the next day are those that can no longer be used by many users who have been experiencing this error for days.
It was just on December 30 when some began to warn of this issue that prevents the normal operation of Google Nest and Google Home devices. Errors which were replicated in the following days.
That is to say that the smart devices go silent while the user waits for a response to these basic queries. And the funny thing is, even on some devices, the LED lights are activated to indicate that a request is being processed, but they just sit there without responding to anything.
The first notice appeared on Google forums on December 30 and further reports were made in the following days according to 9to5Google. Android Authority was able to reproduce the issue to which many users responded reporting that they were suffering from the same thing without really knowing what to do to fix it.

Best of all, this problem is that although it extends to a large number of owners of these devices, it is not something general that affects everyone, but it affects various regions or countries as well as several devices such as Google Home, Nest Hub Max, Home Mini, Nest Audio and Nest Hub.
This is a problem that affects basic commands, but others like to play music or turn on a timer Yes, they work, but not in all cases. Google responded to Android Authority about the issue and maintains that the issue has already been fixed, although it is investigating why it occurred.
