TL;DR
- Google Home was having problems with some users’ RGB lights in April.
- The Home app could control light brightness, but not color.
- Google says these issues have been resolved.
Last month, Google Home users reported an annoying bug around RGB smart lights, with the Home app still showing on-off and dimming controls, but no options to change light color. There was an unofficial workaround, but it was kind of a hassle. Google says it’s fixed the issue, however.
The issue only ever affected some users, with others reporting Google Home never missed a beat when it comes to controlling their smart lights. Still, multiple users took to say that their color-controllable lights in Home only showed options for a handful of different shades of white.
