Scheduled Routines Not Starting

Burgem200 — Sat, 02 Oct 2021 10:34:42 GMT

For as long as I have had my Google Nest, my routine don't activate at the schedules time. The only exception for this is the 'Workday' routine, which works perfectly without fail. But when I try and create another routine, they only start with the voice trigger, not the time. What the fix for this?

I am having this same issue.

Routines will not play on speaker

MissMyRoutines — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 03:45:24 GMT

I use many Routines throughout the day that start with my Google Assistant speaking through a Google mini at a certain scheduled time. A few weeks ago all of my routines stopped working.

I can turn pandora on through my phone to the speaker using the Google app. I can trigger the routine on my phone. But the routine will not trigger on the speaker with just day and time.

Please help.

Same here. I have many scheduled routines, but none of them works.

Some triggers correctly, and notification appears on my devices. But then the outcome of the actions within the routine is nothing. E.g. I have a routine for the vacuuming of the house. Triggering it manually starts the vaccum bot. When routine is triggered by day/time schedule instead the vacuuming does not start at all.

Same for thermostats / lamps etc. Day/time scheduling is not working. It is time to fix it.

Is there any update about the possible cause or a recommended fix for this?

Hey all,

I am sorry for the late reply. I would be more than happy to help out and ensure everyone is good to go. I did find a helpful article with more details on how to set up and manage routines. Please let me know if that helps out, or if you have any questions from here.

Best regards,

Jake

Thank you for the reply, however the article did not provide any insight for this problem that I could find. I have many routines that have been working for months- the are created and managed correctly. They suddenly stopped working.

This is exactly what is happening to me as well

Forgot to come back to this one -

In my case I ended up finding out that it was selecting the wrong speaker. I previously had to remove my nest mini from my home account and set it up again. Rather than completely removing it, I now have two options for which speaker I want use, with it automatically selecting the old "Bedroom speaker". I changed the name of the speaker, and then I could clearly see which is current version and which is the old, set it to the new one - and now my routines work.

Hope this works for other people

I should add that this is for routines where I have selected it's an all day routine, and doesn't require a voice command at all. Routines which require a voice command and/or time, still don't work at the specified time

Nest Hub 2nd gen does not play morning routine after alarm dismissed

FWCA — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 14:41:07 GMT

On Nest Hub display, set 2 alarms

- 8:00am, enabled morning routine enabled

- 8:30am

On Google Home app, click Routines and select Good Morning

Starters:

- When I say to my Assistant "Good morning"

- When an alarm is dismissed "On Master bedroom display at any time"

Actions:

- Tell me about the weather

- Play the radio

When the 1st alarm rang, I pressed stop on the display but the Good Morning routine didn't start. What am I missing?
