Devices in routines not working

Dieseldude — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 04:10:25 GMT

Hi all

My routines are working fine. They do what they need to do but aren't switching any of my devices. For instance my morning routine is supposed to give me the weather and then switch on my main bedroom light and switch off my fan and then play a local radio station on my bathroom speaker via tune in.

It gives me the weather and starts playing the radio but not switching on the light and switching off the fan.

Same happens to my other routines. Household and google routines does the same

I tried to relink all services but still not working.

When I tell Google to switch a device on or off it works fine which tells me it is the routines that's not working

Same issue here. My routines are to control lights, but it doesn't control any of them as expected. First noticed this morning (10h ago). Issue still not resolved.

I also have this issue. When I start my "Good morning" automation. It should switch on the light, tell me the weather and what's in my calendar. The lights neither go on or off (for my Goodbye automation) However, the automations work with Google Assistant on my phone.

Same here since last night. In my case it seems to be only routines started by voice command from either of my two Nest Hubs that are not switching any other devices They do otherwise respond okay with no error and give weather etc,. I can select the routine on the screen and it all works okay. and I can use voice commands to start routines from my phone or watch and all is okay. ??

Yes, I should have mentioned that it was the voice command automations that didn't have any effect on the lights.

I noticed the same. If you click on the play button it runs and does everything. Only when you use voice that it doesn't switch any devices

Google has corrected this and it worked as normal within 24 hours, as promised. It is just a shame that Google did not use a Notification to reference the problem.

Anyone else just finding routines in general have become seriously unreliable?

Same here.

Case number 5653000038052
I can put in 70 actions in a Google home routine but when the time comes to start the routine automatically it only turns on a portion of the actions but when I manually select the routine it turns ALL OF THE ACTIONS ON.

I added a new routine with new actions but still does the same thing.
