Having the same issue.

I am having the same problem. Sometime I get no response, sometimes I get an actual response, and then sometimes I get a
space as the response.
{
"command": "what time is it",
"response": " ",
"timestamp": 1594785476641
},
{
"command": "tell me a joke",
"response": "Why won’t the shrimp share its treasure?\nBecause it’s shellfish 🍤",
"timestamp": 1594859843734
},
{
"command": "What time is it",
"response": " ",
"timestamp": 1594859902222
},
{
"command": "tell me a joke",
"response": "",
"timestamp": 1594860056841
},
{
"command": "What time is it",
"response": "",
"timestamp": 1594860119997
}

I got the same kind of experience. No text answer, only audio as response to a question.
The result of that seems that the question is (broad)casted.

Issue is back. Seems the screen on/off makes zero difference now.

Can confirm the issue and it seems to be permanent now. response is an empty object.

const assistant = new GoogleAssistant(CREDENTIALS);
assistant.assist('what time is it?')
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response); // {}
  });

I also have the same problem related to the lack of response because it displays a blank field

Would like to add to this issue, the issue I'm experiencing is that the assistant sometimes provide text output, but for some questions like "what time is it", no text response is returned, only audio is played. I'm using a modified version of the console input example, which takes text input and play audio output to test the operation. I hope this issue can be fixed soon as my primary use case is in a text-based scenario.
