Google is working to fix two more frustrating Home bugs affecting routines and smart lights

TL;DR Some Google Clock alarm routines are opening Assistant settings instead of the routine editor or failing to run after an alarm.

Google says it is aware of the problem and is working on a fix, while also investigating fresh timer complaints.

Separately, Google says a fix for voice control of lights with non-English names should arrive within 24–48 hours.

Smart speakers earn their keep in the little moments: turning off a light from bed, setting a kitchen timer, or launching a morning routine when your alarm goes off. You barely notice how useful that is until a basic command suddenly goes nowhere. Google Home has had several of those moments lately, from broken TV automations to weird accent glitches , and now users are reporting a fresh round of trouble with alarms and routines. The good news? Google says it knows about the problem and is working on a fix.

The main complaint involves alarm-linked Google Assistant routines in the Google Clock app. Users say tapping “Add Google Assistant Routine” or trying to edit an existing alarm routine can dump them into Google Assistant settings instead of the routine editor. Others report previously configured routines no longer firing after dismissing an alarm.
