So for anyone interested in my Google Home problem what was happening was Samsung wanted to over ride Google Home and it succeeded after an update. Every now and again Samsung interferes with Philips hue and Google Home can't turn the lights on/off but nothing else has really happened except for the odd triggering from the TV.

So basically Samsung is a bully. Samsung asked GH for its lunch money then kick it in the nuts. Samsung has been told to stay in it's corner and let GH do its thing.

Maybe this is what has been happening to bot 1. Don't let the bullies win bot. We love you.

I am glad you got to the bottom of the problem, it sounds like it was getting really annoying.

In regards to Bot001, the tablet and phone are Samsung, so maybe they are being bullies. Bot001 has it's own dedicated laptop though, so it should be safe even if they try to gang up. The other possibility is the wi-fi rice cooker, it's Chinese and so could be part of a communist takeover. I try to keep it from consorting with the (also Chinese) breadmaker so they don't consolidate their power base, maybe I need to do more.

Good to know botty is safe. Maybe he went to bed early because there was no cricket on.
