Yeelight work with Google Home

[coasterli]

I just got my RGB yeelight bulbs and LED lightstrip. Very happy with them. However, I’m having issues with Google Home controlling it. Everything is set up correctly including server location. I can control them with the Google Assistant on my phone but when I ask the Google Home, it kept saying don’t understand or light is not set up. So strange considering it’s working perfectly on my phone. I chat with Google and they had no idea why. Any suggestions?

Did you login google home app with the correct account that your Google Home device has been setup?

Yeah. I am. The Google staff even got me to factory reset the Google Home and reconnect the account in Google home app.

Still not work? Any advise from google ?

So unbind the lights on my account. Went on my partner’s phone, made a new account and linked them to his accounts and then Google home under his account. And voila. They now Work for some reason. Strange but pretty happy now.

Hi , when I’m trying to add the Yeelights Action device to my Google Home It asks me to sign in to the Yeelight account but after successfully signing in I see the message “Couldn’t update the settings check your connection” after which it returns to the same screen for adding a device. therefore am unable to see the Yeelight devices within Google Home app.

FYI, I’m able to control the lights through Google Assistant through IFTTT.

Also my locale is setup as Singapore not sure what else to do. I would appreciate your help

Hello. I am trying to link Yeelight Actions to Google Home but I get the Error Message “Couldn’t Update the Settings. Check your Connection” Everything was working 5 hours ago. I added a scene and then had to unlink for the scene to be refreshed in Google Home. Now I cannot link it back? I am on the Singapore Server.

Same issue, just unlinked to add new bulb. Now getting the same error.

Same thing here. Got a new bulb today and it couldn’t “see” the new Yeelight so I unlinked the account but now can’t link it again. I keep getting that damned error.

We have trouble shoot the problem, all our data are correctly sent back to Google Home server, it’s an issue of Google Home.

I’ve got exactly the same problem.

I’ve got two white lights, which I can control fine through IFTTT, and I can control my D-Link switch through Google Assistant.

When I try to add Yeelight Actions to the Google Assistant app, I get “Can’t update the setting. Check your connection”.

[bhikram]

I can control my Dlink Smart Plugs as well.

[coasterli]

We have reported this issue to google.
