Thanks, didn't know, never really used these voice assistants.
It's a weird choice, I suppose the endless handcrafted rules and tools don't scale across languages and usecases but then LLM are not good at reliability. And what's the point of using assistant that will not do the task reliably, if you have to double-check you are better of not using it...
The issue wasn't inconsistency it was "had no home integration at all" at launch. They rushed to roll out the 'new' assistant and didn't bother waiting for the basic feature set first.
Today; it works ~perfectly for TV control/Alarm setting - I can't think of it not working first try in the last month or so for me. Maybe more consistent than prior?
The rollout was simply borked from the PM/Decision making side.
