Commandos by voice

Peter74 — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 14:57:12 GMT

I can not turn on or off the lights by voice commandos.

The assistant replies " It seems to be a problem, try again later"

The lights working just fine when i turn on and off them from the Home App, so they are connected to my home but wont react on the voice commandos....

Any solutions?

Ok, wondering if there is an update that has made it not work? Anyone else having problems?

Sounds like a Wi-Fi issue with the speaker.

Have you tried tuning the speaker off for a couple of minutes?

In my case the speaker works otherwise, for example I can ask it to play music from Spotify without any problems. We have several speakers and they all give the same answer just when I ask them to turn the lights on or off, an error has occurred... It worked without any problems yesterday.

I've got the same issue. The problem seems to be with commands in Swedish for me, it can turn off the lights but not turn them on. However, if I use English for the commands it seems to work like usual.

I have the exact same issue. Seems Google has broken something for the Swedish units... I hope for a quick fix Google!

Yes , I hope for a quick fix.. Its not working with English every time as well, maybe its because my bad pronunciation....what phrase do you all use when you want to " Tänd" or " Släck"

I use lights on and lights off. 
It works for me, but not every 
time for my son.

"Sätt på" och "Stäng av" verkar fungera för mig. Iallafall för tillfället...

Same!

All my google devices say, something went wrong, try again

Jojje77 — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 10:43:22 GMT

all of a sudden all of my google devices say, something went wrong when I say turn on the lights.
Everything else works. Turn of the lights, asking questions etc. But if I say activate the lights they turn on.
The only command it has stopped responding to is “turn on the lights”

I have googled it and tried everything I can think of and still the same. And it’s the same on all of my devices, I have 4 of them.
Im in Sweden and I use it in Swedish.
Anyone had the same issue? And solved it?
best Jörgen

Samma problem här sedan nån vecka tillbaka.

Re: Commandos by voice

MagnusL — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 16:22:41 GMT

Fungerar med de kommandona här också.

Re: Commandos by voice

HenrikT — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 16:57:09 GMT

Det verkar som alla svenska kommandon till enheten fungerar, UTOM de anrop som gäller t ex lampor. Dvs, jag kan be den sätta på P1, starta Spotify, sänka/Höja volym etc. Men den begriper bara engelska när det gäller allt annat. Google har svarat mig att de är medvetna om problemet och arbetar på att lösa det.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out here in the community! I understand you're experiencing issues with voice commands for your lights, specifically in Swedish, despite them functioning properly in the Google Home app. I also appreciate you trying the English language workaround. No worries, I'm here to help!

To continue investigating the case, please provide the following details:

When did you first notice this issue?
Which models of Google Nest speakers or displays are affected?
What are the firmware versions for the affected devices? Here’s a helpful article about how to find the firmware version of your device.
Have you attempted to control the lights using alternative keywords or commands? If so, please specify which commands work and which do not (in Swedish).
What is the make and model of your smart lights?

I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Jenniffer
