Phillips hue lights will not sleep

[Joshac]

I have two Phillips hue bulbs linked to my Google account and I am able to control them via voice and phone for everything apart from running a sleep routine to dim the lights slowly on command this worked perfectly for years until a couple of weeks ago, now it won't work via Google only directly on Phillips hue

Hi Joshac,

Thanks for posting. I'm sorry to hear about the situation that you are experiencing with your Philips Hue lights that are not working with your sleep routine to dim the lights slowly on command. I understand that the lights are just working with the main lights app and not on the Google Home app. Don't worry; help is here. In this case, the recommendation will be to delete and re-add your lights to the Google Home app.

You can check these steps to remove the lights from the app:

1. Make sure your devices are powered on.
2. Open the Google Home app.
3. Tap Settings > select "Works with Google Home."
4. Under Linked services, tap the devices you want to disconnect, then select Unlink account.
5. Tap Unlink to confirm your choice.

After that, here is how to re-add them:

1. Open the Google Home app.
2. Tap Devices > Add > Works with Google Home.
3. Select the device maker from the list.
4. To complete the setup, follow the in-app steps.

Once you finish the steps above, you can create the sleep routine again and test if that works. You can check the "Connect third-party smart home devices in the Google Home app" for more information.

Please keep me posted.

Regards,

Jenny
