Fact of the matter is, rebooting works nine out of 10 times. If your Google Home can't connect to your smart bulbs, you'll be stuck flipping switches until the problem is resolved.Īlso, if you're like me, your first instinct will be to reboot your modem and router, or, worst-case, the Google Home smart speaker and the device you're trying to control it with. Sure, you could always get up off your keister and flip switches with your finger like some kind of cave dweller, but, if you're anything like me, the problem will gnaw at you until you fix it. You don't quite appreciate how easy it is to use your voice to control your lights, thermostat and other smart home gear like connected garage door openers until suddenly you can't. Problem: Google Home can't connect to your smart home Open the Google Home app and set up like usual. Manually turn on Wi-Fi (but only Wi-Fi).ģ. Switch the phone you're using the Google Home app on to airplane mode.Ģ.

You tap through all the options and everything seems to be coming along swimmingly, when out of the blue your new speaker disappears from the app, right after you tell it which Wi-Fi signal is yours. You'll plug in your new speaker, open the Google Home app on your phone and see a new speaker ready for setup. This one is the bane of Google Home aficionados everywhere because it stands in the way of getting a new speaker up and running.
