Zombie family bells

[Adamas79]

During the school year we use the recently discontinued family bell to wake up our kids and alert them to get their shoes on so they make it to the bus on time.

summer break recently started so I went to turn off the bells on my IOS devices in the assistant app, selected “family bell” and found the page blank. 

I’ve, updated all my apps and searched the web for any help to turn off my early morning bell. Needless to say, my wife and teenage kids went from loving all our google devices to wanting to unplug them or throw them away. 

I understand the feature has been discontinued, but I’m surprised that i have not been able to find a way to turn it off. 

please help.

Hi @Adamas79 

I don't have a solution but I do want you to know that the Google Home team knows about this issue and is working on a fix. I had a Meet with our Community Manager just yesterday and brought this up.

Hoping for a quick resolve and thanks for reporting!

Thanks Jill!

I hope it’s a quick fix.

Please let me know when there is an option to disable.

we have about $1000 of google devices we use otherwise use everyday in our home about to become get unplugged.

I hope so too.

If you have an android device in the house you might be able to disable via the Home app on there.

edit: see this thread on Reddit

Possible workaround--

Go to https://assistant.google.com/settings/bellschedule and see if the Family Bell can be removed via that web based Assistant settings link.
