I have no chances, there are maybe 100 people with the same problem, and google doesn’t care.

Probably more like market priorities. Much like this is a Blynk forum for Blynk discussions, not a Google Home forum for GH feature/engineer bashing 
Thus if you have a question about how to make Blynk know which room you are in when you hit a button to turn on the light… Well now that might be a worthy Blynk topic 
Although honestly, even that will be mostly programming and sensors, not necessarily a Blynk specific thing.
I found it very intuitive and easy to get staeted with. I watched a couple of YouTube videos about Node-Red and MQTT and was up and running in no time.
If you take a look at @scargill’s blog he has a script to automatically install Node-Red and the Blynk plugins on a Pi
The script used to install the old version of the Blynk plugin. I’m not sure if that’s still the case, but if it is then it’s easy to use Palet Manager to uninstall the old version and install node-red-contrib-blynk-ws instead.
I use Blynk quite a lot, but don’t have any Blynk code running on my MCUs. I do everything using MQTT messages and let Node-Red handle the Blynk, Amazon Alexa, Ikea TRÅDFRI etc integration.
Pete.
unfortunately I don’t have a pi and I am not planing to get one soon.
thanks Pete.

after a GH update
now if you say , “turn on lights” it will turn ON lights of the room where Home Mini is present only and not all rooms like before.
also with sinric Thermostat example you can
// For Thermostat
=====================================================================
now if you ask GH “ what is sensor temperature ? ”
it will answer “ it is currently 24.5 degrees ” (depending on your room sensor temperature)

Yeah, I’m happy that Google understood the problem eventually 
I was the first one who tested thermostat: https://github.com/kakopappa/sinric/issues/73 so yes I know, thanks.
Sinric is amazing! reliable and fast.

something i wanted to add
I am using Amazon Echo and GH in the same ESP8266 sketch
for me the response of Echo Dot is faster and more accurate than GH.
there is never word mismatch with Amazon Echo like GH that sometimes change the complete sentence.
I hope soon we will get humidity and fan control.
thanks.
It could be, but I think it has nothing to do with Sinric, it is Google issue.
It seems to me that just after I bought GH the voice recognition was much better than it is now. Microphones in my GH seems to be fine, so I think Google changed something on their servers. And as far as I remember Amazon Echo uses 7 microphones, and GH uses just 2 microphones, so in theory Amazon Echo should be better, but in reality software may be way more important than hardware… Anyways I don’t have Amazon Echo, so I can’t compare them.
I hope the competition will improve both of them

Does this mean, that I can add the Blynk App directly to Google Home like shown on the screenshot?
And then I can control blynk with voice command?
Maybe it is that simple and this is why no-one is talking about it.
it is Sinric that passes your Google Home voice commands to your Blynk App. & ESP8266.
you need to get Sinric first then add it to your working Blynk sketch.
here you can find examples 
This seems to be double up. Now we have another server involved. Why can Google not connect with the Blynk server?
i think blynk team not doing that because
- it will make grip more users to use Blynk cloud just as a gateway server to redirect the requests to GH or Alexa
- will raise the operation cost of blynk servers because of the undesired traffic and processing power required etc.
- it will take the great blynk platform out of it’s scope.
- this should be in the paid plans so blynk still continue generating revenue and keep the R&D for more great features
everybody knows that the blynk power we purchased for almost no money is way far from even the servers cost
no need to mention the development team and rent , etc i think @Dmitriy and the rest of the great team should know the we like there platform an wish them a great future

This is in our roadmap. We are limited in resources so we have to prioritize new features.
The server cost is covered, no worries here .
