Family Bell settings not supported

[UnclaimedZombie]

It's been brought to my attention that Google home is no longer supporting Family Bell settings. We use them in our home for medications and rutines for our special needs family.

We currently have some bells working right now but need to be changed but can't because all settings are compleatly inaccessible with a 403 code.

In looking through other posts here, I know I'm not alone on this. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and I've tried updating and nothing has worked.

It would be great if Google would please bring back the family bell settings!

I never used Family Bell regularly, but were they reminders announced on speakers throughout the day?

A daylong routine (Personal) might be a suitable replacement and you can add chimes and announcements.
