Has your Google smart speaker been giving you the silent treatment lately? Join the club. Over the past several days, owners of Google’s Nest and Nest Hub devices have been reporting that Google Assistant has stopped responding to basic commands such as “What’s the weather” and “What time is it?

Some users found that their devices stopped responding to voice commands between Christmas and New Year's Day.

The Nest Hub and Audio are failing to answer basic questions like "Hey Google, what's the weather?" or "What time is it?" Other commands are hit-and-miss.

The problem led to Nest products being unable to answer simple commands, like requests for the time or weather.
