To everyone with the Couldnât update the settings issue, I gong to say it louder, TRY USING A DIFFERENT BROWSER!
Chrome browser seems to be the issue, or maybe some bug in the integration between Google Home app and the Android Browser.
I tried all methods mentioned here before and nothing worked until I installed Firefox and made it default browser.
As soon as I did it, it worked right away and everything is connected and working as before, no ghost devices or anything.
Iâm using an iPhone and iPad to manage my Google Home/Smartthings and still have the issue so itâs not the browser. Since Iâve got my Home Mini Iâve had issues with newly added devices on ST not showing up on the Home Mini as well as numerous duplicate devices. Also, I can disable Google Home support on the ST side and still see listing for ST devices. Hopefully Tuesdayâs fix actually happens Tuesday and fixes all of this.
I was having some issues with controlling my Nest Thermostat through Google Home and narrowed it down to GH showing the thermostat twice: once from the Nest and once from the ST. I tried the whole âdonât show the Nest thermostat in GHâ and it still showed up. Thatâs when I found this thread and looking forward to the fix rolling out today!
PS. Has the issue of Nicknames that disappear from the GH app been resolved?
Fix for device lists in Google Assistant not updating according to smartapp settings is still expected today.
Also, Google has been working on removing the virtual devices some of you see in Google Assistant. In some cases, this might be a cause for linking failing.
@Lars itsâs still not working for me. The same as before is occurring. I checked for new devices and the assistant forced me to give access to all things/routines. I went into ST and selected only the relevant things but the google assistant is still displaying everything.
Still not working for me either. I still see duplicates of some devices and I see devices that arenât allowed based on my ST Google Smart App settings.
Still same problem.
Issue is NOT resolved.
When i go back and check in Smartthings App⊠the Google Assistant SmartApp defaults to selecting ALL items.
ie. it resets my selections
Correction⊠it resolved itself.
After having ADDED Smarthings to my Google Home⊠and it adding ALL my devices,
I went into Smartthings app and re-selected the 4 items i wanted to control.
When i went BACK into Google Home⊠it now only showed those 4 items.
So it may be you need to ADD Smarthings to Google Home first⊠and then go to Smartthings app and choose the devices you want it to show.
Ended up unlinking ST in Google Assistant and uninstalling the Google app on ST. Left for an hour to take care of something else and when I got back I re-linked ST to Assistant dismissed the room setup tab and scrolled through the list of devices. Of course everything was there but no dupes! Went into ST and re-configured the app and after about five minutes only the devices I wanted showed up on Assistant (and still no dupes).
The fix worked for me. I had to unlink/reconnect everything, but now I only see the devices I want to see and Assistant doesnât get confused when I ask it to control the thermostat. Thanks for working with G on this fix
Wednesday Nov 1st 2017 and I still get âCouldnât update your settings. Check your connectionâ on Android
and âSomething went wrong, try againâ on iOS when trying to link Smarthub with Google Home AppâŠ
American Google Home
American Google Home Mini
UK V2 Smarthub
Other people have been able to link these two without any issues.
I was getting that message yesterday, even though the acct got linked. Backing out of the Devices window and refreshing showed all my ST devices in there.
This is worth highlighting and I have seen this happen too. Forcing a refresh one or two times after account linking fails sometimes will bring up the devices. You do this by pulling downwards on the âDevicesâ or on âManage accountâ tab.
