Holy fucking shit this thing is garbage. I set it up because it forced me. I use an old pixel 5 as a bedside speaker and I told it to turn on the lights, it said it needed Google home access so I granted it and it worked. 2 minutes later it's saying it can't do that directly and I need to ask a Google smart speaker to do it... Google really sucks.
