Google Home error with Xiaomi mesh bulbs

jbrowne · 2019 年8 月 11 日 22:07

Hi,

I have a few Xiaomi mesh bulbs controlled via a smart clock. I have added them to my Google home and although the lights turn on and off fine, I get a “I’m afraid there was an error and I’m unable to control your home device”.

Any ideas why this is happening when it seems to be working ok?

Thanks!

Hi James,

Please tell me your Xiaomi ID, I’ll check for you.

Thanks!

So the lights works well, but GoogleHome’s voice response too annoying ?

hello, i got the same error with the BLE Spots !
I´m using the BLE Smart Alarm Clock also.

i have added Yeelight into Google Home, when i say “ok google, turn the Lights on/off” it works, but google is telling me the same error “i´m unable to control your device…”

it looks like that xiaomi is not doing anything about Service and Updated with the BLE Devices. i´m still waiting for the Automation Skills Update, since more then three Months. nothing happens…

Yes, pretty much - I’d like to understand why there’s an error message and ideally stop it

Hi you guys, we’ll get it fixed as soon as we can, thank you for your feedback!

Hi, It has been fixed, have a try again.

Hi, thank you. now it´s working.
But i found another Bug!

-Turn ON and OFF works great
-Dimm the Light to # % is not really working

First try: Google, turn the light on - Worked
then: Google, Dimm the Light to 10% - Worked
Then: Google, Set the Light to 100% - Not working (Google is daying yes, i set the Light to 100%, but brightness not changed)
-Then i tried to dimm the Light in the Google Home App - Not working
-Then i tried to dimm the Light in the Xiaomi-Home App via the Shortcut - NOT WORKING
-When i open the Light Menu inside Xiaomi-Home App, dimming is working, but not with the Shortcuts !

AND PLEASE ADD MORE FUNCTIONS INTO THE BLE LIGHTS !!! The BLE Lights seems to work more reliable for me inside my Smart Home System, but without a Dimm Function for Automation (Turn the Light On and set the Light to # %) it is CRAP !

It’s working! Like the little sound after changing as well. Thanks @yusure

hello, the error is back !!!
Lights turning On and Off, Google is saying “ok, i´m turning two lamps off…there was an error and i´m unable to control your Google Home Device…”

And Dimming is still not working in Google Home and Smart Things ! Only On Off.

It Looks like you Guys have released a very buggy Product, without testing it. Just bring it as early as possible on the market, Users are your Beta Tester
