    Well, that's how it is with various clouds. They work until one day they stop.
    I stripped all my wifi devices of their original software and loaded Tasmot. I control them via Node-Red in conjunction with Home Assistant or Domoticz.
    Wait. Maybe it's a temporary glitch. If not then you're in for a bit of a learning curve and a switch to one of the standalone systems.

    I received a reply from the Spectrum SMART manufacturer that there was a global integration problem and they are working on a solution. This pleased me that it is not a configuration problem at my home.

    Apparently there are some religious holidays going on at the moment and Spectrum SMART worked hard to rectify the fault, well they did. I can now enjoy voice control again. :) .
    I hope that such failures will not happen often....

    I'm just wondering, is there such a possibility in Google Home that I can give a voice command to the smart speaker to make a phone call to a person, and that I can then talk to that person via the smart speaker? Is this kind of thing already possible?

    Telephone no, but via Duo yes.

    Can you write more about this, I have never used Duo.

    I know what Duo is, I have it installed on my phone but have not used it until now. My request was for clarification on how it is supposed to work with Google Home to voice call a person and talk through the smart speaker.

    Hello
    I have owned this speaker for 2 years and for the last few days the radio has suddenly turned itself off. Namely I say ok google, Play radio, whatever, it plays 30 seconds and silence, in the home app it shows that it is playing, sound 20% etc but nothing is coming from the speaker. When I tell it to play from YouTube, Spotify it all goes on all day but I want to listen to the radio 😁

    @Endorphine I have this too from time to time the radio breaks up. I once read on the Radio 357 and New World fan group on Facebook that others were complaining about it too.

    Well, the only problem I have is that it disconnects every radio and all the time, turns on for a few seconds and silence for the rest of the day, regardless of the station. I even did a reboot of Google Home, nothing helped.

    After extending the offer from the internet provider from 150Mbps to 600Mbps, the problem with the radio interrupting playback on the Google Home speaker disappeared.

    And today I would like to advise if anyone has heard/seen a single reflector for sale, e.g. like the one pictured below, that can be rotated/adjusted via WiFi from within the app or by voice? That is, a spotlight like this that has motors to turn it. I have searched but somehow can't find such a product.

    Black ceiling spotlight. .

    Here, for example, is something like this:
    https://rclighting.com/products/remote-controlled-spotlight/ .
    But it does not work with Google Home.





    I once asked how phone calls can be made via the Google Home speaker, and here is the instruction:
    https://www.the-ambient.com/how-to/make-voice-calls-google-home-423/ .

    And today on the subject of Google Home, I have a question, does anyone know what voice command can be used to change the colour of the white light?
    That is, as if I were to slider from cold to warm colour in the smartphone app. I'm googling and googling and not finding....
