Google Home had been telling me that Garadget was offline for a while, so I removed Garadget from Google Home, with the intention of immediately reinstalling, assuming this would fix the problem of an old password or something.
Since removing it, I cannot add Garadget back to Google Home. I have tried on two separate occasions now, separated by a week or more.
When I go into Google Home, I go to add a device that works with Home. I select Garadget, put in my login info, and I hit Authorize. Then the screen blanks and returns me to the “Authorize Google” Home screen where I can enter a username and password. I don’t get told there was a failure. I don’t get told the username or password was wrong. I’ve checked the password I’m putting in more than once. I’m at a loss as to what is actually going on.
Same issue with me. I get a Google Home prompt stating my Garadget is linked and successfully authorized but the device won’t show up in Google Home. Multiple tries with same result.
I was seeing a similar problem but got it working. I lost Garadget communication in Google home some time back. I just tried to reconnect account and, after putting in Garadget username and password, get a mostly blank ‘googleusercontent.com’ screen that says Return to App and wouldn’t do anything else. Removed account to re-add and same issue. I used the upper right menu on that blank page after entering login info to Open in Firefox and actually progressed. It then went to a screen with a “thinking” circle animation but after waiting on that a few seconds I hit the back button and the connection went through fully. Garadget is now working again with Google.
