Hi @Chelardo

You likely need to re connect the third party service that the bulbs use. See this help page:Connect third-party smart home devices in the Google Home app - Google Nest Help

Additionally: can you change the color in the bulb's own app if installed?

What brand bulbs?

Thanks!

Check in the Google Home app for the service the bulb uses. If it is connected then try to disconnected/reconnect. If you don't see the service then search and allow it.

Annoying I bet!

Try reconnecting them in the app. What brand are the bulbs?

the odd thing is that this issue started a couple of days,ago . For some strange reason now the assistant says that the lamp doesn't have the capability , we'll a couple of days,b2gkrw I could change color with googje mini or my phone using my voice, and it worked flawlessly

Re: cannot change lamp color using google gome anymore

Chelardo — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 22:57:24 GMT

now it says,the lamp is,disconnected, if instead of trying to change color I say,turn off,,or change brightness,, no problem , itvwont say the lamp is disconnected

Chelardo — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 22:58:36 GMT

I am also experiencing this issue, and it appears to be a Google Home problem. I have Cync GE light bulbs, and they are no longer changing color in response to my commands, which were working before. I unregistered and registered them through the main Cync app, and then added the link again to Google Home, and still no luck. Hopefully, they fix this soon

It is so frustrating. Lets hope they acknowledge the issue and fix it ASAP

I have bulbs that use both Smart Life and C by GE. I cannot use voice commands to change the colors on any of them. I have reset my Home Mini and my Nest Hub, I have relinked both third party apps which work as expected on their own but not within Google Home. Only thing I have not done is restart my router but it's not a network issue as all network connected devices are functioning. This needs to get fixed!

same here. If you do a google search this is a new thing people are posting about specifically. Google home broke the ability to change light colors. It works fine in the app, no connection issues. This is not a "basic troubleshooting" type issue, and no amount of "reconnect your devices", "reconnect your service", "change x", "change y", etc, will fix it. It worked for multiple years, nothing has changed in the services, and everything is still connected in the app. I can even override the command with a manual routine starter, and it works then, so there is absolutely no excuse and the onus is on GOOGLE for this issue.

Indeed, the only conmand affected is changing colors, , when I try to do it ,,the response I get is : "device not connected" ,lol, someone at Google messed up big time.
