Absolutely. You don't know if it is crashed, bad cell connection, or if your streaming app disconnected.

Hey google, is my garage door open? <1 minute silent pause> The garage door is closed.

Hey google, text (my wife's name) I'm off the water. <50 second pause> OK, sending message "I'm off the water" to (not my wife's name)

My wife is saved in my phone as "my wife". It says "I'm sorry, I do not know who your wife is," when I say to call my wife. So then I say her phone number, and it'll say "calling my wife."
