That's not a time, that's an event. The event can happen at a specific time, but you only know that time after the fact. So you want the assistant to react to an event, which it apparently doesn't support.

It used to support it though. I could tell it to remind me of something when I got home or something like that, and it'd pop up the reminder when the GPS coordinates matched up.

No idea if they removed that functionality (you never know with Google), or if Assistant is just being shitty here. Either way, something changed somewhere along the line.

I think they removed the functionality

it's still on google, because people expect it to be able to do such a basic thing and there is absolutely nothing preventing them from implementing it.
