Ive been using a nfc chip that opens my doorlock via homeassistant. Im no coder but i followed the steps to connect to google cloud and when i scan the chip the phrase "unlock front door" followed bij a pin mumber is passed on to a google mini at home. This has been working without problems for a couple of months now but all of a sudden it stopped working.

Did something change in the cloud api? Nothing changed in my setup but i cant figure out what is wrong. The lock will unlock via app (smart home tuya) Thanx in advance.

You just need to look through each stage of the process to identify where it's failed. The HA part is easy, just check the trace for your automation to make sure that the command was successfully passed to google mini; I don't know how to access logs etc for the google part of the process.

Also, if it's a tuya device, is there a specific reason why you're controlling it via google then tuya cloud, rather than directly through one of the HA tuya integrations? You'd have fewer points of failure that way.
