Ok I don't know what's going on but Google Home is chatty today. It's 2pm. I hope you are having a good day. Would you like to go for a walk?. I gotta nip this in the bud. It's getting creepy now.

How about turning the lights off when you're told? Stick to your lane creepo.

3:30 Update. I was told to Go and have a glass of water. Why don't you wash your hands? Rrrrrrr

Maybe it’s lonely and just wants a chat?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

We chat all the time. We also have an understanding, at least I thought we did, don't speak unless spoken to. Now she wants to organise my day.

Have the mini-CEO(s) been messing with the settings?

The little ones say no but were quite surprised when the alarm went off at 7:30am. The 2ic has control over these things so I'll need to have a meeting with him. Sometimes Google Home goes rogue.

Yikes that's annoying and creepy. Do you use it only for the automation? What else does it do? Do you find it helpful in general?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah she's normally good. I use her for the lights, TV, weather, radio, news, music, timer, general questions.
