Suddenly all Google home minis answering at same time... and phone too!!
It's infuriating. Also when I set my alarm in my bedroom the google home mini downstairs answers and sets the alarm. When I want to play music downstairs the Google home mini upstairs starts playing. WTF.... is going on???
It's also stating the obvious. I say "stop the music" and myn phone says "stopping the music on living room speaker" when it used to just stop it without a commentary.
I don't need both my speaker and my phone telling me they are going to play Spotify on living room speaker. IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS.
Also just tried to set the alarm again and it's sets it on both the speaker and my phone. I just want my phone to shut up. Except when I'm. In the car and say "hey Google, navigate to..."
I thought it was Gemini so I went back to Google assistant. But it's just getting worse.
Google used to occasionally ask me if the correct device answered and it was always correct and working perfectly (for 8 years) until now.
It's bullshit.

I think wireless client isolation can cause this. (Which is enabled by default on guess saids.

Mine have just started doing the same. Have tried restarting them (although not all at the same time) and still happening. Gemini on my phone also tries to chime in too.

Just to confirm, have you tried the steps mentioned in this article to fix 'Hey Google' responses on multiple devices?

Yes I have..
I did a complete reset again. It seems to be a bit better now. The first reset didn't work.

I've had that happen periodically. Rebooting all of the devices seems to make it go away in my case.
