Yes, same behaviour for me. Are you able to control them using the Google Home app or only voice controls? ---

Only voice. On Google Nest Hub (former Google Home Hub) it displays information “Touch controls are limited right now, but you can still use voice to control this device” ---

Just a question. I exposed one of my Items to [myopenhab.org](http://myopenhab.org) and it showed up there. Afterwards, I tried to connect Openhab through the GH App but it always says “Couldn’t update the settings. Check your connection”. I unlinked every GH-Auth from [myopenhab.org](http://myopenhab.org) but it’s still not working. All my items are labelled and this item is also tagged the right way. Is there anything I forgot or why GH don’t want to connect with OH ---

Yes I am afraid that I have 1 tag only for each item: everything was ok but suddenly stopped to work the sync command. ---

Hi, I have had openhab working for about a year. Recently.moved it from a raspberry pi to a new pi, and was working also (I created a new openhabcloud account for that new device). Anyway, it was working and then I added some new devices via mqtt and went to.sync devices but got error messages and it failed. I was still able to control devices ety, just not get it to sync new devices. Did lots of things, probably not in a very well.structured fashion tbh, but ended out removing the newly created devices and restarting openhab service to see if that would help, and it didn’t. So, I said I would unlikely my openhab account from Google and link it again. I unlinked successfully, but now it is refusing to link again, (via the home app), with it giving me the error “couldn’t update the setting, check your cinnection” Openhab cloud is working, Google home is working, but just the linking is failing , and I cant figure out for the life of me what the problem could be. Any assistance would be appreciated. ---

I confirm the same for me with the Blinds tag ---

Yes but it was working very well till some time ago: I was able to ask the temperature and set the heating temp desired. Now it does not connect to the thermostat. ---

@rpwong Yeah I made all the steps, until the Authentication as it’s failing there. I already cleared OH-cache and reinstalled OH completly. ---

I recently implemented a garage door (using Garadget) and linked it to Google Home via myopenhab. I noticed when I told Google to open, it sends value 100 and when I told it to close it sends 0. So I wrote a rule to deal with that and invert the value myself. The remaining problem is when the garage door is closed, and I asked Google, it would say that it’s open and vice versa, but that’s not a big deal. ---
