I don't fully understand what is going on with Google Home but the QOL and service has been consistently degrading for the last few years. It doesn't even seem like it's from neglect, yall just keep changing the system in ways that negatively impact operations. Heck this training video isn't even valid anymore with the new UI which from what can tell adds zero positive to the platform. I really hope yall can sort this out because it really doesn't look good.

[Justmeandmydrone]

how do I link my google home app to my wifi?

My Google home keeps telling my Google home isn't set up yet. "You have to have an app set up on a phone or tablet, " I've tried to set this up so many times I could do it in my sleep. It's not that I haven't done it before, the Home system was working for about three years before it suddenly stopped one day about three months ago. Now, I'm tearing my hair out trying to fix it. It just won't recognize my phone, no matter what I do. I've changed my account name, deleted everything off my phone and still it hates me.

Is it possible to connect to the Google Home app while you are not at home ? For example to turn off a smart light that was left switched on.
