If your problem isn’t in the tree, two general rules cover a surprising amount of the migration:

Update first. The Android Auto call failure, the phone alarm “Action failed” error, and several Gemini for Home reliability problems are already fixed in current app/firmware versions.
Rebuild rather than repair. Migrated routines and automations that misbehave usually work when recreated from scratch, even when editing the migrated copy doesn’t.

And if the answer you got was “no fix exists” — that’s not us giving up early; it reflects what Google has actually shipped as of 8 August 2026. The escape hatches page is the honest next step.
