What is going on with Gemini/Google home, how is it so shockingly bad? Or am I doing something wrong?
I used to use the google assistant to control my smart lights etc.
I switched to using Gemini, and I cannot believe how bad it is. Surely I'm doing something wrong.
Can someone please explain to me why saying, "Hey Google", and asking it to turn on my office lights, Gemini says "Sure turning on your office lights", then 40 seconds later I say "Hey Google, turn off my office lights" he says "I am an AI agent, I cannot access your google home, you need to talk to your google assistant to do that"....
What? You just turned them on 40 seconds ago.
So I close the chat, open it again and the same happens, close the chat, "Hey Google, turn off my office lights"
"OK, turning off your office lights"
....?????
I just spent a fortune on Google Nest devices to put across my house, please god don't tell me this is the absolute state of Google Home in 2026.
