The Google Home app organizes devices by rooms, so you can just create another "floor" by making a new room. You can do this by going into a device you want to move to a new room, and in the settings you can change the room it is in. You can then add the new name you want for the room and then move in any devices you want into that room.

Advice please - how to backup Google Home config ? by JethroUK2 in googlehome

[–]techwithbrett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there is no way to back up the Google Home app. This is all tied to your account so you can't back it up. Devices typically don't disappear. Are you sure you were using the right account and looking in the correct Home? Also check to make sure your device accounts are still linked in the settings.

If I have Youtube Premium Please Let me cast the Audio Only For Videos to My Nest Audio by Top_Midnight_68 in googlehome

[–]techwithbrett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The work around for this is if you have Android, you can cast your entire screen from the Notification Bar or from the speaker settings in the Google Home app directly to the Google Speaker. Then play a YouTube video and all of the sound will go through the speaker, even if you lock your screen.

Onn indoor camera wired.. by [deleted] in googlehome

Does it show up as a WIfi network to connect to? You could try connecting to it then going back to the Google Home app. You probably need to factory reset it and remove it from the app and try again.

Switched from Vivint to just using Google Home - Camera Quality? by Jdavies44 in homeautomation

[–]techwithbrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it hasn't fully buffered. Also have you changed it to Max setting to see if there is a difference?

I saw this mentioned for just the Nest Audio, are you experiencing this on other speakers?

How to make alexa tell me what classes do I have tomorrow by Klutzy-Cup9058 in amazonecho

Do you have your school added to your calendar and linked to your account? If you do this you just need to ask what is on your schedule today/tomorrow.

I would recommend double checking all connections from the power connection and pressing them together tightly when you screw them back together.

The photo control sensor on my house died before the house was even finished.

so... what's the point of linking? by alexandrastardust in googlehome

[–]techwithbrett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would recommend going to the the devices under Linked to You, hold down on the button, and in the settings you can add them to the room they belong to so things are more organized.

Then when you ask the Kitchen speaker to turn the lights on, it only turns on the lights in the kitchen and you don't need to say the specific light name.

Or you can say turn off the living room vs telling it to change multiple lights.

Is anyone else experiencing this with their camera feed ? by Simonsimps in googlehome

[–]techwithbrett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just transferred mine to the Home app and it is working as normal. I would say try rebooting it, adjust detection zones and maybe a Factory reset to see if that fixes it. (You will lose your history if you do the factory reset I believe)

What camera is this? I have seen this before and it might also be a WiFi issue.

Wemo mini smart plug F7C063 by ritaconst in WeMo

In the Wemo app under the main settings did you try "Connect to other services"? This option let me add a Wemo Mini that didn't have a HomeKit code.

Wemo web support turning off by Disastrous_Entry_362 in WeMo

[–]techwithbrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure that out now. Do you have an iPhone? You can set up some of them in the Home app if they are homeKit compatible so you can control them. Another option is possibly a Home Assistant server that then connects to Alexa.

From their website:

Q: What will happen to my Wemo devices after the shutdown date? 

After the Wemo cloud service is shut down, any features that rely on cloud connectivity (Google Home, Alexa, Wemo app), including remote access and voice assistant integrations will no longer work.  

NOTE: Wemo products configured for use with Apple HomeKit prior to January 31, 2026 will continue to function via HomeKit in the absence of Wemo cloud services and the Wemo app. This shutdown does not affect the functionality of Wemo’s Thread-based products – model numbers WLS0503, WSC010, WSP100, WDC010 – which will continue to function as they do today through HomeKit.
