Google home no longer allows changing of light colour

Jmm1 — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 01:10:13 GMT

Starting yesterday, google home app doesn’t show options for changing colour of smart bulbs. Asking nest hub or mini to change colour says bulb doesn’t support this. Neat display also offers no option. Anyone else?

Color Light Options Missing

Charlie3 — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 10:57:31 GMT

I think my phone update last night (Google Pixel 4a) caused my light color options to disappear. How do I figure out what's going on? Is this on my end? Do I let somebody know?

The light buttons used to have a colors option screen where you could select from a pallete, but that was missing this morning so my Google home got confused with one of my routines and couldn't set my lights to white.

I moved my Google Mesh from one modem to another. Same thing happened. Lost all color options for only the smart bulbs. The smart strip lights still have the option.

Same. Smart Life App works, but Google Home is missing the colour swatch and voice control tells me the device does not support this functionality. It was working yesterday.

Same here. I don't think this is the first time this is happening. I could see same bug reported couple of times in 2020 and 2019. Hope they fix it permanently this time...

I am facing the same issue on my smart bulbs using linked account with Smart Life app. Hope Google Home can resolve this ASAP. Anyone knows the solution, kindly share it with us.

My Smart Life bulbs no longer work properly in Google Home - What's going on???

VinceC — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 19:42:19 GMT

I've been using Google Home for over a year, including over 30 devices linked to Smart Life (Including 20+ lightbulbs). These bulbs all worked perfectly in Google Home.... until yesterday, that is.

Today, none of my bulbs are changing colour in Google Home. GH can control the brightness and turn the bulbs off and on BUT they no longer even show colour as an option in the app. Google Home voice response now states that these bulbs - which used to work just fine - :don't support that functionality".

It's the same result regardless of whether the bulb is GU10, E14 or E27 and regardless of which lighting fixture it's in. It's the same result whether using voice activation commands or the GH app on my phone.

It's the same result after removing and readding the devices and deleting and re-installing the apps.

It appears as though Smart Life may have recently updated its user interface for changing bulb colours within its own app. Coincidence? Or perhaps not, given the timing of the Smart Life interface update and the breakage of its link with Google Home,

Regardless of whether Smart Life may have done something to cause the breakage or it's Google Home who's dropped the ball, this problem needs to be fixed ASAP!

Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it (or when it will be fixed by GH/SL)?

Google Nest Mini won’t change smart light bulb color anymore?

Ksteph — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 23:04:15 GMT

My nest mini keeps saying that changing the color of the lights isn’t a functionality it can perform. Worked perfectly fine last night, never had a problem before until today. Tried everything. Resetting Wi-Fi, unlinking and relinking Feit Electric app, setting smart light bulbs. Nothing works.

Was there an update? I've been using this combination of lights for two plus years and two separate locations at home and on my boat never had an issue now all of them are missing the color button except for one light and it's changed all yesterday so what's going on I'm literally about to throw all the stuff in the garbage

I'm having the same problem. Mine are Feit smart lights I've had for over a year and I've never had problems until now

AAaaaAAAAaAAa — Sun, 23 Oct 2022 04:31:23 GMT

I'm also having this problem and there's a couple other posts about it. I'm not sure how wide spread it is but it's definitely something google did

Re: Google Nest Mini won’t change smart light bulb color anymore?

Ksteph — Sun, 23 Oct 2022 06:42:44 GMT

I have the exact same ones. Still no change. I tried setting up the lights again and nothing.
