Nest cam with floodlight

retepthegreat — Mon, 07 Feb 2022 05:31:53 GMT

Hello,

The floodlight is the only smart light I have. When I ask the google assistant to "turn on the light", it responds with "Sorry, that mode isn't available for the floodlight." But, it still turns on the light. When I ask the assistant to turn off the light, I get the same message, but it still turns off the light. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks!

Running into the same exact issue, driving me nuts. Saving grace is that it turns and off the lights, but still… how do we fix this?

Hey again,

Have you tried to Restart or Factory Reset your device? I would give it a good power cycle as well. Check out this article and check to make sure that you are asking the Google Assistant the correct commands.

Best regards,

Brad.

Hi Brad, that didn't fix the problem for me.

Thanks

Hey folks,

I am afraid this sounds like it is more of a Google Assistant issue. I do not have an answer for you. You can always just turn off Google Assistant on your Nest Cam with Floodlight and manually turn it on and off in the Google Home app.

Best regards,

Brad.

Hello,

The issue appears to be fixed. I stopped getting the "error" message when asking the Assistant to turn on/off the floodlight. Has anyone else noticed this?
