Credit: Jimmy Westenberg / Android AuthorityTL;DRMany readers of a recent Android Authority article made clear that they’re not willing to give Google another chance with their smart home setups.Much of the skepticism is driven by a fear of product abandonment, poor software performance, or Gemini making basic controls worse.Some commenters remain hopeful about the platform’s future.It’s always a risk to bet on a comeback. When one of my colleagues recently explained why he was willing to give the Google Home ecosystem another shot, he admitted he might be foolish for doing so. While he’s ready to take the gamble on the next generation of Gemini-powered devices, it seems the majority of our readers aren’t. After years of glitches and abandoned products, many users are suggesting they’ve been burned by Google one too many times to trust the company with their smart home gear.The general sentiment left in the comments section of Joe Maring’s article is a vote of no confidence in the platform’s future. The original piece argued that new hardware, a redesigned Home app, and the integration of Gemini could finally put Google’s smart home back on track. However, the comments reveal a deep-seated frustration with the company’s track record, with many echoing one comment that Google has “destroyed all trust and goodwill.”
