what time the next bus is depending on your preference.
A personal touch
If you're having trouble getting My Day to give you personal
information, you might not have set up the device to access your
personal information, such as where you live to give you an accurate
weather forecast. Again in More settings, go to devices and then tap
your Google Home (make sure you select the
right one if you have several). You'll then see
a Personal results setting – slide the slider On.

the correct Google Account. At the top-right
corner of the Google Home app's Home
screen, tap Devices. Tap the device you want
to set up and then go to Settings > Voice
Match. You'll then be asked to set up your
voice with a bit of training.
Adjusting Google's calendars
Unfortunately you can't preview My Day for tomorrow, but you
can ask Google Home for a rundown of your calendar events. And,
speaking of calendars, Google Home will only reference your default

and find Calendars at the bottom of the list. From there, you can
tick which calendars you want Google Home to refer to as well
as choosing your default calendar. Be aware, it will only work with
calendars shared to the Google Account that the Google Home is
linked to, so you'll need to share calendars with the main account.
