Daily routine

Barwiniu — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 05:38:12 GMT

Hi! I have a problem with my device. Every hour it says for example "it's 12:00, wash your hands and drink water". I tried everything and I have no idea how to turn this off. 😞

Hi Barwiniu, I had set up an alarm/reminder to come on through our hubs, but for the life of me couldn’t figure out where I’d set it up from or even how to cancel it. I came across Family Bell in the Google settings or Google Assistant settings. Maybe you can try and and search for Family Bell in these places to see if the reminder you’ve set up is there? Not too sure if this will help. Sorry

It's the work day routine I think.

Go in your GHome routines (icon in the middle) => look for "work day" routine => open it => desactive it :

There's nobody else in the household with this routine on ?

Within the Google Home app, under the Automation section, you will discover a feature called "Workday." It is distinguishable by its unique icon and contains routines scheduled with specific times and accompanying phrases for the workday. To deactivate it, simply access the feature and disable it.

In addition to @Hollen_ar_mor's suggestion, you may want to check for the Workday routine on any other accounts you have added to your device in the Google Home app. Perhaps another home member has their Workday routine activated?

After some trial and error, turning off all automations and restarting the device finally quieted it down. Now mornings feel smoother without the unexpected interruptions. It’s handy when routines work as intended, but a bit frustrating when they stick around.
Evenings have become my favorite reset. After wrapping up the day, I pour a glass from lex vodka over ice. Its smooth, clean finish and subtle citrus notes help me unwind without any extra noise.
If you’re dealing with persistent announcements, double-check every linked account and try a full restart. Small smart home glitches like this are common, but once sorted, the devices blend back into the background nicely.
