Tech With Brett do I still need the wink hub or similar device to do this or can I use just the Google home?

@TechWithBrett 5 жыл бұрын

You need to connect the new light through WiFi or the hub first. Then once it is working there just say the magic words so the Google Home can find it.

Tech With Brett I have the ge bulbs and wink bulbs but no hub anymore. So I definitely still need the hub then?

Atm I have 4 Google Minis surrounding it, 1 RM Pro+, 3 RM Minis and a Xiaomi Sensors Kit. To automate the lights, do I need to get complete yeelights for the whole condo so that it could work with the Xiaomi hub and connect to Google or is there another option to control the lightings by voice and sensors?

@hondadude2705 5 жыл бұрын

I know this is now an old post, but just wanted to add my two cents. The "sync my lights" command did not seem to work and I had the Hue light set up on the Hue app. It didn't seem to link to the Google Home via the Google Home app either. I had to un link all of my Hue lights and relink them back up and then it worked. Tonight, I discovered what the problem was. "You have to name the Hue light, or know what the Hue app is calling it, Hue light 1, etc., or name it directly via the Hue app and then use either the Hue name or whatever you named it before doing the "sync my lights" command; and then use that name when you try to activate the new light via the Google Home. Works Great! Simple problem easy solution....like most once you get it figured out.

This video really helped me tonight. Trying to add additional hive smart plugs all night and couldn't see them. This video then reminded me the sync devices command. By the way is there any way to run this via the Google home app as a menu option. Many thanks. Ps just weird how Google cant seem to find them through the normal add device option without the command being run, even though the hive hub is linked and the sockets are switched on. Very useful command though when things go out of sync

I have several smart color led lights from four different manufacturers. Haven't purchased a smart hub yet (I'm deciding between Google Nest, Apple Home and Amazon Alexa). One of things I want to do is have all the lights flash different colors aka party mode. Some of the manufacturer apps do this and some do not. Do one of the big three smart hubs do this? Seems like all you can do is control the color and the brightness... thanks to anyone who answers!
