It doesn't connect to Google Assistant like you say it does. I have an amazing microwave whose only limitations is the app. It always says it's offline, when it's online it can only be controlled by the app. I kinda feel like it's a violation of consumer trust because the app doesn't do what it's supposed to do and we only find that out AFTER we've spent serious money on alliances only to have to curtail use our not use features that are primary to our purpose for purchasing in the first place.
