There has been trouble at home lately. Not your At home, hopefully, but if you live at Google HQ, then maybe. Last week, people using the Google Home application flooded Reddit with complaints on smart home products that mysteriously stopped working – lights, cameras, smart traffic jams, you call it. These complaints were so numerous, in fact, that Google even took the trouble to approach them and do better. Things in Googleverse were (or are) bad, at the very least. But just because they are bad right now that they can’t get worse – and worse that they can still do it. For Google, it’s.
It turns out that Google’s openings on repairing its intelligent application and doing better may not be sufficient for people, and all this decline can cause good old -fashioned age.
“Kaplan Gore began to investigate a possible collective appeal against Google LLC for having omitted to remedy growing problems with its Google Home ‘Smart Home’ service,” said law firm Kaplan Gore in a press release. “Unfortunately, many users have reported functionality problems with Google Home and Google and / or Nest associated devices, which has made it possible that orders are not recognized or properly executed. Users report that they encounter these problems despite their devices previously operated normally and despite a stable internet connection.”
Hey everyone, I want to recognize recent comments on the reliability of Google Assistant on our domestic devices. I sincerely apologize for what you are going through and feel!

Kaplan Gore also has a form for all users who encounter these problems and requests them to fill out certain information and join a collective appeal. In the immortal words of the cartoon dog to fight against scooby-doo crime, “Ru-Roh”.
On the one hand, it is wild that a company as a Titanic and well resourced that Google has left its Smart Home application to the point of being the subject of a possible collective recourse, but on the other hand – if you have been using Google Assistant for a while – he feels a long time. Google Assistant has regularly worsened over the years, and almost anyone who uses it daily has noticed. Even simple prompts to turn on or turn off your light lights. This makes the problems recent in the Google Home application even more blatant, especially since these problems have prevented that a lot of using smart products in their homes entirely.
According to complaints on Reddit, Google Home has been so broken that some users have declared unable to correctly turn on and turn off their smart lights. And these are not only lights; All kinds of smart devices have been swept away, including other speakers and even (disconcerting) cameras and smart bells. If you encounter similar problems, moreover, you can try to open the Google Home application and type the settings in the lower right corner, then press “Work with Google” and a list of your synchronized applications should appear. If they are no longer synchronized, re-synchronize the application by finding it under “adding new”. If they are always synchronized and do not work, it syncing the application by pressing the icon, then by pressing “Account unlink”. After that, you can try to synchronize yourself once again and hope that it works.
Even if it solves your problem, it may not do much to correct your overall satisfaction with the use of the Google Home application to control all your products connected to the Internet. And if this is the case, I assume that there is now a kind of legal recourse to take revenge. It remains to be seen that all of this will be enough to force Google to intensify its shit, but clearly shout to your stupid smart loudspeaker from Google brand does not take us anywhere.
