Hi @SandySaysArf
Thanks for the follow up, and sorry for my delay. I appreciate your patience.
Voice commands can definitely be tricky, especially if Google has adjusted how requests are interpreted over time. Just to clarify from the Pandora side, with a Plus subscription your listening experience is centered around radio stations, not playlists. It does sound like you were able to access your stations while using the term “playlist” in your voice commands for a while, but that behavior wouldn’t technically align with the expected Plus experience, so it may have been working incidentally rather than as a consistently supported feature.
You may have better luck adding phrasing like “radio” or “station” to both your station name and your voice commands (for example, “Play Sandy 273 Radio”) to help get more consistent results.
One thing I’m curious about, do you know if your Google devices are running on the newer Gemini experience, or still using the classic Google Assistant? That change could potentially impact how commands are interpreted.
In the meantime, I’ve passed along your experience with voice commands and automations to our engineering team for further review, as this type of behavior typically isn’t something standard troubleshooting would help to resolve.
Thanks again for sharing all of this with us and for your patience.
