A user on the Google Home subreddit discovered that a Nest Hub Gen 2 sets alarms at the correct time but announces the wrong AM/PM designation—"3 am" instead of "3 pm." The device’s display remains accurate, but its speech output misleads.

The glitch surfaced after Google rolled out Continued Conversations for Gemini, aiming to keep smart‑home interactions fluid. While the alarm itself functions, the incorrect verbal confirmation creates confusion for users relying on voice cues.

Google has acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix, though no timeline has been released. Until the patch arrives, users may need to double‑check the display or rely on a secondary device like the Nest Hub Mini, which reports alarms correctly.

This episode underscores the importance of precise voice synthesis in home assistants and highlights the challenges of integrating new AI features without compromising core functionality.
