Hi Joreim,

Thanks for posting in the community.

I understand that your Chromecast Audio is currently working with your Homey Pro hub, but will not connect to any apps (like TunIn or Spotify) on your iPhones. Furthermore, your iPhones and network can connect to your Google Nest Mini (2nd gen). I appreciate the troubleshooting efforts you have tried to restore the connection. No worries, help is here.

Before I start further troubleshooting, let me ask you a few questions:

When did the issue start?
Did you receive any error messages in the Google Home app after performing a Factory Data Reset and trying to set up your Chromecast?
Are you able to see the Chromecast within the list of devices in the Google Home app? If so, what is the status of the Chromecast (online or offline)?
Have there been any recent changes to your environment, such as a change in Wi-Fi network or recent outages?
Are you using the latest version of the Google Home app? If not, you can check this Google Help Center article to learn more: how to update the Google Home app.
Is your smartphone’s operating system updated?
Are your iPhones linked to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast?
How far from the router is your Chromecast?
Which Wi-Fi band is connected to your Chromecast (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz)?
Is your Chromecast plugged into a wall outlet?
What's the Chromecast firmware version? You can use this help center article as reference: Find your device’s firmware version.

In the meantime, I recommend you to check the following settings on your iPhones, as this often resolves this exact issue with iOS:

Check Local Network Access:

Go to your iPhone's Settings.
Scroll down and tap Privacy & Security.
Tap Local Network.
Find the Google Home app (and Spotify/TuneIn) in the list.
Make sure the switch next to the Google Home app is turned ON (green).

Check Bluetooth:

Check that Bluetooth is turned on.

Please reply with the requested information so we can continue troubleshooting and find a solution.

Best regards,

Virna

Thank you very much for your reply! About 48 hours after the problem occurred, it disappeared on its own. It must have been something on the server side, because I tried everything, such as restarting all devices, moving things around, trying 2.4 and 5 GHz, resetting everything, trying three different phones, etc.

Thanks again for your reply!
