    set timers

    This broke for me a few months ago. It just randomly… won’t start, despite saying otherwise.

      My wife cannot set timers on our Nest Hub. It just doesn’t understand her command. I’ll say the exact same sentence right after and it’ll work. We did reset her voice profile, remove/add her back, checked all settings possible, nothing worked. Such a decent piece of hardware (speakers are actually pretty good, and the screen is decent and bright) that’s ruined by shitty software. It’s been unplugged for the last month and I didn’t even care. It’s going on Marketplace next week lol

        My wife has similar issues. I think it was just trained on male voices.

          I would have thought the same thing if it wasn’t that it used to work just fine, then one day it stopped working for her. One day, she tried setting alarms for dinner like she did every day before that, and it refused to comply, going “I don’t understand” or something like that.

        My family has our own accent. I don’t know why, we just do. We don’t sound like anyone I knew growing up. Voice control has never worked for me.

      I think this happened to me once when the assistant was trying to use another clock app than the native one.
