I can no longer set up my Google Home speaker, which I reset to try to sort out a problem with casting. The current version of the app has a time out which is too short and puts up an error message saying "could not connect" while in the background it does connect and plays a sound. I just can't select "yes" and get it to register because it's popped up this box saying it can't connect. Did they not think of older speakers when updating this or is this deliberate sunsetting of hardware?

For years I was using it without issues. Now that I bought more devices I can't connect them! It says I need a hub and everything, listing google products. My products are from a different brand within Matter environment. It used to work flawless until recently. Deleted the 'Home', tried from scratch to set up a new one, now I can't connect anything! I've got a hub, plugs, sensors, buttons you name it, and google won't connect them! It's in their 3rd party brands list as well. Useless right now!

Overly complex, the app does not run routines as expected; media won't play as part of my regular routines either. I followed all the "advice" on fixes from Gemini (which just gets confused when asked about potential fixes) and other online sources, but it still does not work as expected. Don't get me started on the Automations! This app needs serious work to fix its bugs.
