New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on March 23, 2021) follows:
Life with the Google Nest Mini has been quite good overall, but like any other Google product, the otherwise great experience is occasionally spoilt by one or two software quirks.
Not long ago it was the issue where the Nest Mini would throw a “Sorry, I don’t understand” error just before scheduled routines going off.
Even before it gets addressed, another minor yet annoying issue has just surfaced on my Nest Mini. Starting a few days ago, Google Home routines are suddenly going off a minute early.
Sure, one would argue that routines being triggered a minute early should be well received. But hey, if I wanted them a minute early, I would set the time to exactly that.
This isn’t the experience I signed up for. And certainly not what several others in the Nest support forums and Reddit signed up for when buying their Assistant speakers, at least going by some of the reports below.
As noted earlier and further supported by some of those affected, Google Home routines going off a minute early isn’t such a big deal, but just one of those little annoying quirks that get on your nerves.
On the brighter side, a Nest community specialist chimed in a couple of days ago, confirming that this issue would be shared with the concerned team for further investigation.
Once there’s an update on what’s causing it and the possibility of an official solution, the same will be communicated in the forum, so yeah, we will be on the lookout for this update too.
A forum community specialist has confirmed that Google is aware of this issue and that a fix is in the works. We will keep an eye on the story and let you know when the issue is addressed.
