@christianselig there's a toggle? Mine have always done the opposite of now, no matter what it is. I have an automation that turns on a couple of lights at sunset. If those lights are already on, they get turned off at sunset.
@christianselig Google Assistant is just as bad - it just gets more irritating - I think it might be that in order for to do more things it requires more precise language and that's why simple things that used to work are now being plagued with follow-up questions and confirmations. Just a thought. But like some else said - after all these years how come there have been no actual improvements!? Unless that was never their goal… maybe all they wanted was an always-listening device in your home… 👀
@christianselig I feel like we've gone the wrong direction with these voice assistant things. I don't want it to be like talking to a person. I want something more like the star trek computers where you just issue it short commands and then it does it.
"Tea, earl grey, hot"
"Computer, lights."
"Computer, locate Dr. Crusher"
Short and direct commands like we're talking to a computer, which we are. I'm not saying please and thank you to a talking hockey puck
@Chancerubbage I mean it's totally fine to have that as an extra command you can use to make sure, but why get rid of the toggle command that has existed for years? We figured this out 40 years ago with The Clapper
