I use Google Assistant when I want to know some random fact from the internet. I use Siri when I want to control the lights in our house. For some reason, Google is garbage at that task.

I have zero problem using Google to control Hue, Govee, and smart outlets.

I have a google home, it either cant recognize half the stuff i tell it to do and some are literally stuff you wrote about or the bitch literally does the microphone ping and just turns off.

If you actually use it daily than we both know how many issues there are. I bought a google home specifically because i heard the assistant was actually smart, buy the times it gets right/wrong are like 70/30. Admitedly yes all of em are shit and the others are even worse if this is the best… But yeah, usable daily without frustrations? Hell nah, its buggy as hell.

Ohh and does everyones google home ping his mic like every hour or so? She just randomly starts listening, sometimes when there is total silence in the room for some reason.

It's probably 80/20 in favor of Google. My most common missed phrase is "vacuum the living area." Google thinks I said "back in" sometimes, usually when the TV is on too.

There are plenty of things I have tried that have surprised me as being possible too. You just have to figure out what the phrase is.
