The Smart Life app works fine, but they show up as "offline" in Google Home App on Android. How to troubleshoot?

I'm also having this issue. I've tried "sync my devices", but it doesn't get their statuses. Problem started after changing router for home, but same SSID/password was used. Everything works through the Smart Life app. Have rebooted several times and issue persists.

Hi folks,

@jp231, @Grolex, this is not the experience we want you to have; let us help you. A few questions: are there Nest speakers involved? When did your issue begin? Were there any recent changes made? Even though the status is offline, are you able to access the device settings of your smart devices using your Google Home app?

It would help a lot if you could do a sequential reboot first:

Unplug the power cord from your router, followed by your Nest speakers.
Plug them back in after 3 minutes.
Restarting your phone might also help.

I also suggest you try the steps provided in the link above and tell us how it goes.

Best,

Dan

Hi, thanks for following up, I was actually able to fix the issue by flipping the main breaker to the house off and on. We have several smart home devices tied into the Google ecosystem, and I think powering off everything including the router and letting everything come back up and figure itself out was what was needed.
