SLEEP TIMER STILL NOT WORKING

[Dfed]

We all know the ongoing issue with the sleep timer. In case you haven’t found an easy work around……No doubt the same idea was around before I posted what I was doing a few weeks ago…….

My work around this “until Google finds the time to work on it” for the last couple of weeks is……..I’ve plugged my Google bedroom speaker into a smart plug and set the plug to power “off” at 2:00 am every day (for me I usually go to bed around 12:00-1:00 am) so I  just tell Google to “stream” whatever I want to listen to without stating a stop time. Then it automatically shuts off at 2:00 am. BUT……I also have set the smart plug to power back on at 2:01 am where it will stay on all day again. Two minutes to set up the smart plug and it will tie me over until Google finally gets around to solving this issue.

I'm in the same condition.  I have tried for several days now without any luck or a fix. Your work around sounds good but to hard for me.  I just need Google to fix it.

Fix it already Google! It's been a month already

Hi @Re_tir_E 

There is a easier workaround that does not involve investing in smart plugs but instead involves creating a routine for the speakers.

Create a Routine on the Google Home app with a single action command of 'Stop Playing'. Additionally create a starter on that routine for when you want the routine to action of a set time of day or night, e.g. for instance at 01:00 or 02:00 of course whatever time would be more suitable. Then the music or sleep sounds will stop when the routine activates at that set time every day or night. Not perfect but the best you can do until this very annoying bug is fixed.

Hi @Dan_A 

All OK as far as I am concerned. Recent fixes seem to be working fine now.
