What you should see afterwards

• The home name shown in Settings matches what you entered.
• The address is stored and can be used for weather and sunrise and sunset.
• The home timezone is still shown in the home settings view and now controls the home clock and routines.
• Media connections show the chosen Sonos and Plex routes, or they show the current unavailable explanation.
• If the address was not resolved, the screen says that place was not found and asks you to try the city and the country.

Focused troubleshooting

• If Save does nothing, check whether the screen is read-only for your account. Only a home owner can change these settings.
• If the address is not found, simplify it to the city and country, then save again.
• If Timezone does not look right, change it on web Home settings. The phone shows the value but does not edit it there.
• If a media choice is unavailable, use the explanation shown under the choice. Do not guess another route.
• If Media connections cannot be read, the screen can show an error and a Try again button. Reopen the card and try again.

Media connections, Sonos, Plex, Automatic, Play through the cloud, Use home default, Through the local connector, Not enabled, and Do not use Plex are all present in this homeowner workflow.
