Group Smart Bulbs/lights in google home app

I have two beside lamps. Each lamp requires two bulbs. I’d like to group two of the bulbs into a single device so I only have to say the light name to turn off. Additionally don’t want 4 individual bulbs to appear in the room in the app as it’s becomes very cluttered.

I had previously used a smart outlet to control the lights but I want the ability to change the light color and adjust dimming which is not possible with the outlets hence the bulbs.

Can you really not group the bulbs together into a single device? I’ve read of solutions like “turn on bulb 1” and “turn on bulb 2” Etc. This is a ridiculous solution.

Alexa and Apple Home both have this. Does google home really not? This is like the most common of use cases that i can think would occur in a home.

Hi HappyHogan,

Thanks for the help, @MsDrasby.

I totally understand that this is a good feature to use with your lights, but this isn’t available. I'd suggest you submit feedback about it, here's how.

Let us know if you have other questions and concerns otherwise, we will be locking this thread after 24 hours.

Regards,

Juni
