Most Google Home reported getting "your Google Home is not set up yet" message, while some also said they got messages like "something went wrong" and "there was a glitch". Casting through Chromecast wasn't working as well.
Here's what a Google Home team member posted on Reddit around three hours ago:

If you would like an immediate fix, please follow the directions to reboot your Google Home or Chromecast. If you're still experiencing an issue after rebooting, contact us at Google Home Support.

Chromecast is awesome and one of the best things from Google. Rarely found an issue with it.

I have never had more issues with a dongle than I have had with my Chromecast. If Google would stop changing things every 5 minutes their services might not have so many problems.
