- Google Home cannot currently access its Activity feed nor the app’s Settings
- Device controls and routines still work as normal.

Original article, October 4, 2024 (03:41 PM ET): A nice smart home is awesome once you’ve got it all set up and configured — all the routines you’ll need created, all the automations defined, and all your devices behaving as they should. But it can also seem a bit like a house of cards, and it often only takes one weak link there for the whole system to start feeling janky and unresponsive. Right now Google Home is experiencing somewhat of a service interruption, and while it’s not quite to the point where we can’t turn our lights on, it’s nonetheless pretty annoying.
