• New starters and conditions (like device docking or plug status) have been added to the Home app, alongside more reliable voice-triggered routines.
• Everyone has long been complaining about the declining quality of Google Home.
• To Google’s credit, the company rolled out a bunch of improvements last month, and to usher in the new month, Google is rolling out a bunch of improvements to Google Home once again.
