As we've reported over the past few weeks, the app is currently undergoing a makeover of sorts. This has led to the disappearance of personal Google Home routines for a few people, which can be infuriating if they rely on them. Another issue is now coming to the surface as some users are finding themselves unable to add a new device or reconnect an existing one via the Google Home app.
The Google Home app allows you to separate your smart devices by room to make it easier for you to control them.

If the app is on your phone, you can get started adding your devices to Google Home by following the following roadmap. Of course, the logical first step is to buy your first smart home device.
The other option, which we are going to take, is to add a "Works With Google" device that we have already added to our home Wi-Fi network. Tap on the "Have something already set up?" option. Once you have set up the new device as per the manufacturer's instructions, it's time to connect it to Google Home.
These names are, most commonly, taken from the devices themselves. Usually, they’re pretty generic, and it might be somewhat confusing to have several devices with the same or very similar names. To solve that problem, Google’s come up with nicknames.
Then just tap on the new device, tap "Next," confirm which home you want to assign it to, tap next again, tell Google Home which room it is in, and you're done. It disconnects the device for all members of the home. At the top, select the home with the room you want to delete.
