This minimalistic launcher saved me from Google TV's bloated and ad-filled home screen

It's not perfect, but it's better than Google TV Home

This minimalistic launcher saved me from Google TV's bloated and ad-filled home screen

For some Google Home users, the carefully organized rooms within the app have suddenly become disheveled. Devices that were once assigned to specific rooms are now appearing in the "Linked to you" section. Despite this strange occurrence, the devices still retain their correct room assignments in the settings, leading many to believe this is a syncing or display bug rather than a loss of configuration.

To date, no definitive fix has been provided, and Google has not officially addressed the issue. Meanwhile, Apple is set to unveil its latest smart home hardware, potentially leaving Google Home users wondering when Google will make its next big move in the smart home arena. For those affected, the new hardware may be the last thing on their minds— they simply want their existing devices to remain in the designated rooms within the Google Home app.

Since the issue surfaced over the past week, a growing number of users have expressed frustration, seeking clarity and resolution for their home automation woes.
