Some major brewing is going on at the Google Compound.  I knew it was going to happen as Gemini got closer and closer (tomorrow is the day).  I haven't been able to cast from my phone to some of the screened devices since yesterday and my football tv has disappeared from Google Home (I can't turn on/off the tv via voice).  I can reinstall Vizio and set it up again but dang!  There are most likely other issues I haven't found yet.  If you have any Google devices in your home, are there any glitches?

No issues in Philly area that I'm aware of.

Everything you're talking about is Greek to me!  I don't know what 'nest' is.  Or Gemini.  We don't have anything like Alexa or any of those things that we can ask questions outloud.  Don't know if that makes sense....At this point, we don't need them.  Life is uncomplicated so far.

Vizio is a TV brand. Apparently I just squeak in Under The Wire and bought it before before Walmart bought the company. I actually bought my TV from Walmart online. It's the P series and I'm totally happy with it. I think I started reading about complaints before Walmart both the company. There are three levels or at least there was. Premium mid and value. We've had a Vizio TV in the office for 10 years or more. It's fine but it's not like the one I'm sitting in front of right now watching a football game.

Google is executing all of my smart home commands. The 7-in screens are casting from my phone but
Two of the 10-in screens were not as of earlier today. I haven't tried the Third 10-in screen.. I'm not worried, kind of expected it.

Vizio is a Walmart brand now but it wasn't two years ago. The redditors in the know say I was lucky enough to get one of the last great TVs from Vizio.

That's fine @Lucky Charm. Those that have them will know what I'm talking about.

I must have one of the "bad" ones.   If I turn it off...It goes back to the "in the box" setup screen, which is a royal pain.    So...it's been ON 24/7 for the past few years.      

I expect it to croak any day now...so I do have a replacement.    My "other" TVs in the bedrooms are OLD tube types.     di
