TL;DR
- Google Home’s scripted automations aren’t working for some users.
- Automations created outside Google Home’s script editor seem to be unaffected.
- It’s unclear why these automations have started failing. We’ve reached out to Google for comment.
Scripted automations in Google Home aren’t working right. A Reddit thread about scripted automations failing posted last night now has comments from more than a dozen users who all have a similar story: their automations stopped working sometime yesterday without explanation.
User Tkemalediction posted on the Google Home subreddit that all of their scripted automations (ones made using Google Home’s YAML script editor) that were working fine previously had stopped firing. Lots of commenters on the thread report the same. Automations created other ways, through Gemini or the Home app’s automation UI, seem to be unaffected.
