Rogue Google Devices

Hi,

I was removing some google devices via the app and some didn't fully remove now they just show as 'offline' I have 0 devices in the app and I have unlinked the account and re-linked it and can't remove them.

any help @bobbyD

Wow, I've never seen this one before. It sounds like Google has introduced a bug recently, as I was doing the same the other day and didn't happen to me. I'll try to replicate, here shortly. If you can provide more details to help me replicate, that would be great.

Did you try, "Hey, Google. Sync devices"?

I'll detail my process as much as possible.

  1. go into Google Home app

  2. uncheck device and click update

  3. click done

  4. go to googme home app on Pixel 3a

  5. ask google to sync my devices
    -----repeat till all devices are gone
    I noticed some devices still there but display as 'not responding' so I went to the google home app in HE and added them again and tried to remove them, but instead it added it as a new device
    6)re-link hubitat in google assistant (+>add device>already have device setup etc..)
    -------Did nothing

  6. unlink hubitat completely and relinked it
    8)hubitat displays 2 devices connected

  7. I have no devices selected in google app in HE

  8. there are 4 rogue devices in google home app that are not responding

  9. when I click cog wheel the 'unlink' option is greyed out and gives me this message

  10. syncing with google just says 'sorry the hubitat can only be synced by the user who added it in the google home app' - I am that user

  11. the logs are showing the following

This is what is expected to happen when you remove a device from Google Home app in Hubitat (anyone is welcome to email me to say hi) :slight_smile:

And this is what is expected to happen when you add a new device from Hubitat is selected. Note, there is no need to ask Google to sync lights or anything.

I suggest removing the app from Hubitat and unlinking the service from Google Home, then go to below post and make sure that Hubitat doesn't remain linked on Google side.

Thanks @bobbyD I tried all that but it didn't work. For future reference I resolved it by creating a new home and moved all my Devices over and deleted the old one...although in hindsight I think leaving the home and being invited back would have solved it
