Repeatable, irritating bug regarding smart lights & alarms

Perhaps the most annoying bug I've encountered, repeatable for the past 6+ months:

  • Me: Hey Google, turn on nightlight (name of my nightlight smart bulb).
    • <light turns on> Later that evening...
  • Me: Hey Google, set an alarm for 6:30am tomorrow morning.
  • Home: 6:30am alarm for Monday morning set.
  • Me: Hey Google, turn of nightlight.
  • Home: 6:30 am alarm for Monday morning... canceled.
  • Me: @#$%#$#
  • Me: Hey Google, turn off nightlight.
  • Home: Nightlight turned off.
  • Me: Hey Google, set an alarm for 6:30am tomorrow morning.
  • Home: 6:30am alarm for Monday morning set.

It's rather remarkable. The two sound nothing alike yet Google will cancel an alarm I've just set if I ask it to turn off a smart light bulb.  The only way this works is if I remember to FIRST tell Home to shut off the light and then set the alarm.

Hey there, 

Sorry to hear about the frustrations that you're having with the Google Assistant, I'm happy to help. 

 

I would suggest visiting our Google Assistant Forum and writing to them there as this is a question that they would be able to help answer. 


 

Please let me know if you have any further questions.


Best regards,

I was guessing that I'd end up there but figured I'd post here first. Thanks for the referral, know how that works. 😉
