Link Account

[snowdog6519]

I have several hubs (1st, 2nd, and max), google speakers (mini, max) and i use a 2nd Gen Hub for an alarm clock.

I woke up this morning and my bedside hub displayed a "link account" message. I looked at my wife's hub and it said the same. Long story short all the hubs and speakers said to link account through the home app. I opened the home app and couldn't find anything out of the norm. I cleared the app cashe and reset my google nest wifii pro to no avail. I unplugged the kitchen nest hub pro and when it rebooted, all my nest products came back on line. However needless to say I was late for work.

Why did this happened, how do I prevent it from happening in the future, why doesn't the 2nd hub have a clock default when not connected to a linked account? Should I ditch using the hub as an alarm clock and go back to a regular alarm clock? Please advise.

I have a couple of Google Hub devices (1st & Max) and the same thing happened about 30 minutes ago.  I guess there must be some issue with Google services at the moment.

FWIW - I've had these devices for 3+ years and this is the first time I've seen this happen.

And they're back to normal again.  Fingers-crossed that this won't be a recurring issue...

Everything is okay now - hopefully this was just an isolated incident.
