It was fantastic 2017-2020. At one point I had 8 or 9 around the house and loved it. But one by one, every single feature or voice command I would use would either stop working or become unpredictable. Integrations with other hardware or companies would cease without warning. Latency became more pronounced.

And of course being Google there’s no such thing as a changelog, so everyone is left guessing what they’ve changed and whether there’s a passable workaround.

r/googlehome is a sight to behold when viewed as a testament to how to slowly ruin a product.
