Home is maintaining a list of all historical device/pair names

I just had a huge amount of trouble getting some paired speakers to work properly; even resetting then proved difficult as it kept getting confused about their names, and not actually being able to break the pair. 

 

At the root, I think, is that the old (sometimes identical) names are sticking around, confusing things:

 this also affects Routines, I think, making them with intermittently as Home sometimes associates the targeted device with the old record

Hi rosyatrandom,
 

Thanks for posting—let's get this sorted out.

 

Do you have a household member in your home? Open the Google Home app > Settings. Under the home name, you will see a list of your home members. If there are members, check if they can see these old devices and remove them from their end. If not, create a new home. Confirm if the old devices are not showing up in the new home, then move the working devices.


Regards,
Alex
