Google opted for a ring of LEDs around the speaker's base to provide more dynamic feedback when its mic is on and listening to commands or responding to questions.

Yeah... no.

Gemini is unusable as a smart assistant. Im desperately waiting for more advances in the home assistant voice project

Its interesting, I have the HA Voice Preview and I've been trying out using Gemini as the brains. Yes I know this defeats the point, but it's an experiment and I wanted to see how the normal Flash model handles things.

It works great, nearly perfect. So whatever they have done to lobotomize their existing devices/assistant over the last year or so is not just Gemini being bad at it.

So strange. Im using open ai on ha and it hasn't been great. Maybe I try gemini ironically
