- Google has recognized a problem affecting sound orders for smart lights.
- The company says it is familiar with the issue and will soon share a refreshment.
- Many users say they can still control the lights through the Google Home app, but not by assistant voice commands.
Google has confirmed that it is investigating a problem that prevents users from controlling their smart lights through Google Assistant Voice Commands. We first reported the issue on the weekend, as in recent days, user complaints have been piled up on Reddate and Google’s Support Forums. Of the Android Authority Rita al -Khouri also experienced the problem himself, noteing that his nest audio speaker stopped responding to sound orders to close the lights.
In a comment published on the Reddate, Google Nest’s official account resolved the issue on Saturday, July 26:
We are aware of the use of voice commands to overcome some lights. Thank you for your patience, we will share a refreshment as soon as possible.
It’s been two days to this reaction, and Google has not provided a timeline for any fine. The affected users report various issues, including Google, not recognizing the light groups, shutting off wrong lights, or when orders are given when “hey Google, shut down lights”.
Most users say the lights can still be controlled by the Google Home app, which shows that the problem is especially with assistant voice functionality. Some users have found work facilities, such as re -syncing devices or re -adding their light services, but the results are different.
“I also face this problem too. I have seen someone else posting a fix today (Google has done something that has messed up things). You need to re -connect the service used for your lights. Go to the Google Home app, add a new device to work with the Google and do not work with the Google. There are several lights attached to the house.
This bug comes at a difficult time for Google’s smart home environmental system, which has increased the scrutiny by consumers, citing reliable issues. Google has also promised great improvement in the platform in the fall. Until then, consumers will have to wait for an official fix for this particular issue related to voice commands for attached lights or rely on manual control.
