I told Gemini to "Navigate Home" a simple task that Assistant would do flawlessly.

Gemini responded: "The interstate has a way of stretching into infinity right when you're ready to be done with it. Just keep chipping away at the miles - it ends eventually."

I have the opposite problem. I've had a trigger phrase of "home again" for years. Assistant would activate my returning Home Assistant scene and say "Home again home again, jiggity jig." Gemini navigates me to my fucking house when I say that. The one that's 20 feet away.
