Smart home routine not running at its scheduled time
Your routine is set up but something is blocking it from running. It is turned off, conflicting with another routine, or your hub is offline. We'll check the routine settings, make sure the hub is connected, and confirm there are no conflicts.
Smart home routines run on a hub or device in your home. When a routine won't trigger at its scheduled time, the hub is offline, the routine is disabled, or another setting is blocking it. We'll check the routine is enabled, your hub has internet, and nothing is interfering.
- ✓Check that your smart home hub is plugged in and has a green or blue light (not red or orange)
- ✓Check that your hub is connected to the internet by checking the app or the hub itself
- ✓Check that the routine is not turned off or disabled in settings

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Thinking a routine is broken when it's just offline. Check the hub connection first.
- Setting a routine time in the past and expecting it to run. A 3 PM routine only runs if you set it up before 3 PM.
Signs you need professional help
- If your hub is online and the routine is enabled but still doesn't run at the scheduled time, give us a call. There is an issue with your smart home account or app.
