I have been using Google routines successfully for years, but recently they have been acting up. When I try to use the "Hey Google Goodnight" routine to turn off all my lights at bedtime, it sometimes misses a few. In the morning, the "Hey Google Good Morning" routine is supposed to turn on the lights, give me my diary, and play the news, but it is not working as it should. Some lights turn on, but the diary and news are not being provided. Additionally, my automatic timers for lights have become unreliable, with only some turning on at the scheduled times in the evening.
All of my lights and devices are visible and controllable through the Home app, and they respond when I manually ask Google to turn them on or off. I have over 25 periphery devices such as lights, plugs, kettles, and heaters, and I do not want to have to cancel everything and start over. I also do not want to do a 'master reset' for something that was previously working fine but has clearly been affected by a Google issue.
It's also worth noting that during the summer, the Good Morning routines stopped working, but as soon as school started, they began working normally again. I do not understand where the calendar for this routine is being pulled from. This monday August 26 all routines, including Good Night and Good Morning, stopped working on their own. I use an iPhone as my primary phone. Any suggestions on how to resolve these sudden issues with the routines?

I am having the same problem. Devices still visible and controllable through the home app, but routines and starter triggers no longer functioning. Started when I recently moved to a Pixel 9 phone, would love a solution!

I am having a similar problem since Sept 1.
Routines for lights are working (only 3 lights added)
Routines for cameras are not responding well anymore.
For the Home/Away Routine, out of 4 cameras, only a few randomly turn off or on.
I have already restarted the cameras, reset them, removed and re-added them to my home, to no avail.
For testing purposes, I created my own Home routine using presence sensing to turn off my cameras. this also does not work. When checking the logs, I see '[INFO] Action succeeded for: [Device not Found].

We're several people starting to have this issue with routines and cameras responding randomly. Hope this is a software issue that's gonna be solved in an update.
