Good luck, I guess? Got the first Google home, at first it was great, I was asking it tons of questions. Then the questions stopped, used it for turning on the lights and other automations. Then I installed Home Assistant and the only command Google Home got was to set a timer to know when to pull things out of the oven. Eventually I stopped doing that.
At the moment all Google/Nest Homes have their mic cut off, I only use them to stream music in my house from my NAS via Plex. So yeah..
I still use mine for voice commands with home assistant. Works great.
All mine to is turn lights on and off.. very occasionally they might be used to find a phone, or set a reminder, but I wouldn't miss it if that went.
I wondered if I was unusual in not using the voice features much, but according to this thread it seems I'm not.
