Can no longer control heating/hot water via Google Home - devices offline
A couple of days ago I suddenly found that I can no longer control my boiler via Google Home. When I say, for instance "Turn on heating", it just says:
Sorry, I couldn't reach Tado degree
That's a new one one meI I've had intermittent issues in the past, but have never heard Google refer to "Tado degree". That makes me inclined to think that it's some sort of software API update issue.
All three lights were lit OK on my internet bridge, but I restated it anyway and also my router, for good measure. But this didn't resolve the issue.
I can still control the boiler via the Tado app on my android phone - so network access is fine.
However, when I look at the "Heating" and "Hot Water" devices in Google Home, they both say "Offline". All my other Google Home devices are fine and are accepting voice commands.
Has anyone else found that they are suddenly having similar issues? My next step would be to try to unlink and relink the devices - but I don't want to risk screwing up my previously working configuration, in case the issue is something external.

Can Tado support please reply? I am having the exact same issue. We need a solution. Unlinking is not working, Google still recognizes devices "not in the home" but still linked to my account. Please help.0

Heating control from Google Home app, and voice control still working fine here, so maybe not a Tado problem?
Hot water control hasn't worked for months as reported elsewhere on this forum.0 -
Same issue here. Neither the Google help nor the Tado help are very useful so far.0

@GrayDav4276 Matter was released to the public a few days ago. I'm seeing a lot of posts about devices suddenly not responding, offline etc. Various platforms, not just Google.

Same here, after years of fault free service, now, when asking TURN THE HOT WATER ON, I'm told SORRY IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT DEVICE HAS BEEN SET UP.....
Have re connected my account, it works fine on the Tado app, but Google no longer works with my hot water.0 -
Did anyone ever get this fixed?0

I had the same issue and discovered that somehow all of my smart devices had been removed from Google home in the GOOGLE HOME APP. In order for them to function using google home / nest / voice command - they need to be moved to a 'HOME' (Linking Tado to Google on it's own will not activate this)
After linking Tado to Google home you need to open devices in the Google Home app (they were greyed out saying 'offline')
Press the little cog in the top right corner
Click on Room - and input which room the device is in
then MOVE the device to your Google Home
I did each device manually using this method and now everything works fine again.
I've only had my Tado system for a few days, at the point of writing this - so am still learning!
Everything was was working fine until I started fine tuning and adding plugs / lights (TAPO) to rooms… I think that I confused the home automation in doing so.
Peace has now been restored and everything is working again as it should be.
