Automations have not been running on time since the February 17, 2026 update. The first automation/routine of the day will play when it's supposed to, but then anything else during the day will be up to 5 min late, and never on time. When I checked the activity log, it lines up exactly with Feb 17 being the first day things started running out of sync. It hasn't worked properly since, even with trying to re-save the impacted automations. I miss Google Assistant.

Gets worse with every update. I have 5 speakers and they don't work together any longer. Can't send broadcast because that feature has been broken for a very long time (doesn't ask what's the message any longer, sends the last part... usually the word 'broadcast' from the prompt 'hey google send a broadcast'. Can't recognize some smart bulbs half the time, saying that the device hasn't been set up yet. you cannot use Google speakers with Google cast. Absolutely horrible, don't recommend.

Won't work anymore! I've factory reset the Nest Mini, I've reinstalled Home so Ihave the latest version. When setting up the device it gets all the way to connecting to WiFi but won't, and I can confirm I'm connected to the same 2.4Ghz WiFi, guest mode off. Tried several times. The internet service is up and running. Tried all the steps in your help centre. Been waiting for this Gemini rollout for a long time, this is a very poor experience and it looks like I'm not alone.
