Are you running the Hue system? I haven't had any issues using those phrases to change the color of my bedroom lights. I have two lighting groups, bedroom and living room. I could call out "Hey Google, change bedroom lights to red" or "set bedroom lights to red" and it works without issues.The ability to request an action and phrasing it many ways.
"Make the lights in the hall red"
"Change the lights to red in the hall"
"Set the hall lights to red."
"I'd like the hall lights to be red please"
Right now these are defined strings. Google needs a match. It would be great if she actually understood the context.
Having to remember the specific way to request a function is not ai, it's scripted and limiting.

Maybe it's ifttt that's messing it up bc just like the poster above you said I just say change bedroom light to blue or whatever and it changesYes. I have all hue. Also ifttt.
Dont know why, but my "GH" already does reminders for me......and a few other things that people now wish for.
I want it to be able to sync more with my phone
Just in general... As of now the home doesn't really do anything with phones... Like if I ask things to the home I can then say send that to my phone instead of having to ask my phone... If I asked for a phone number I can say call that number and it calls on my phone... Just small things like that... Just make the phone and the home work together betterDo you mean syncing with phone itself or the Google Home?.....please explain in more detail of want you want to do

People probably would have said the same thing about Microsoft compared to Google when Android started up and you see their market share. If you followed CES, most everyone integrated Alexa and not Google assistant. Sure it could change, but I don't think Google needs to underestimate Amazon. They're killing them right now. Hopefully that'll make them move even more quickly with new features. The thing is, people have to want to integrate with it. Google can't make them. I've got both a Home and a bunch of echos so I'll be along for the ride. I'm sure it'll be fun.Steven.....yes, as of now "GH" cannot make phone calls..........just yet.Google is in the process of adding many new features, however this will take a litle more time from what I read. Many 3rd party vendors are signing on as I write this to bring some terrific functions to GH. We all have to give them some time here, heck it was just released for sale only most recently. I think as time goes on we will see GH's doing all sorts of tasks that right now we could only imagine. The REASON I bought GH and not Alexa is simply because it has Google's tech engineers behind it and the world's best 3rd party tech vendors, too. Alexa " may get the most dates right now" than GH, however you watch and see... Google will pass it and wave "bye-bye" in it's rearview mirror in the coming near future. Google is the tech behemoth NOT Amazon. Amazon is an on line giant of giant's retailer granted, but you tell me who is the better tech co.......hands down.....Google, easily. So, I based my choice on the above logic. If we are all a little patient, GH will surprise all with lots of sweet tech goodies...I feel that confident...............now if it would just make my Mom's meatloaf.

You can add a pin code to your voice ordering, with that set you must say your pin before the order is processed. Honestly I am amazed anyone wouldn't have this enabled while keeping voice ordering wide open.Oh wow! I never even thought about accidently ordering things on the echo... I'm sure they have something in place that makes you confirm items before purchasing... Idk if I believe those stories but if it's true they should be reimbursed all their money
