Google Assistant|Gemini does not understand my requests anymore

Request spoken to my Android phone:

éteins lumières parents
(= switch off lights parents)

Up to “recently”, Google (Assistant?) after a few seconds of thinking was doing the action and informing me that all the two lights have been switched off.

After the change from Assistant to Gemini (? - I stopped following the name changes in this ecosystem) it now does nonsense: sometimes it looks for lights to buy, sometimes it translates the sentence, sometimes it repeats it in English with a French accent. What it does not do is to switch off the lights :neutral_face:. This is the same with all the simple instructions I used so far (switching on/off lights and opening/closing roller covers).

This is not only annoying to me, but also to my wife, which puts me in jeopardy.

I am here to ask you:

  • does your Google something still works after the change?
  • if yes, do you use another language than English?
  • if yes, did you change something
  • if no, what have you tried to fix this nightmare?

For the context:

  • I host HA in a docker container, available as https://hass.example.com
  • I also have a Nabu Casa account, this is how I connected HA to GA (I had a manual connection first, but NC is easier and this is IMO a nice way to support them)
  • outside of these voice requests everything else works as planned
  • Google Home sees my lights and can interact with them
