This is a problem I encounter but was able to fix it the reason I am posting here is just in case someone else has a similar problem with Google Assistant or anything that can be control with a phone or tablet

 

Let say in the past or just recently you got a new device that you need you control but cannot any more the probable cause can be this check your device IP since it may be using the new network the 192.168.218.X and the device that you want to control is on the opposite IP basically not in the same network as 192.168.218.X

To fix this just put them on the same network say any within the 192.168.218.XXX or both on the old network

Not sure if I am allowed to post a problem and a solution to the problem all within the same first post but I thought this information can be valuable to others that might have this type of problem

  Thanks for sharing!  The reason for this behavior is, some of the devices require the controllers and the device on the same network broadcast domain.

  Yes I figure that after a what if scenario that both need to within the same network range/domain

  But thanks for confirming it nice to have official respond
