I switched my smart home to Gemini before the Google Assistant shutdown; here's what broke

Google is releasing an updated Gemini for Home voice assistant, aimed at fixing voice command issues and adding new features. However, users are expressing frustration with the transition, as the latest update only addresses some of their long-standing problems. The Gemini for Home voice assistant has been in early access, with Google announcing three improvements on August 20th: better recognition of Spotify requests, improved message broadcasting, and more precise lighting control.

Despite these enhancements, users are criticizing Google for not tackling the main issues they've been facing. Reddit users report ongoing difficulties with basic commands, like setting alarms or scheduling thermostat automations, even after resetting their devices. The slow pace of the updates is raising concerns about the future of Google's smart home system, as users are growing increasingly skeptical.
