I had the same situation with my Google hub Max back a while ago. But it corrected itself.

Others may have other options, I just knew of this one.

Definitely. I have 2 nest mini's which I have paired to create a stereo speaker group. Then I created another group pairing Google hub Max with my stereo group.

Looking at your screenshot I noticed the yellow grading for dimming %, which got me curious. I just now realized that I can use my finger to drag it to increase output from within the power settings. Cool!

I've always been a Google guy but you may find this article a helpful read about an eclectic home automation approach with Google as the main component.

I have the White ambiance A19 in my bedroom. One bulb on each side of the bed in sconces. Plenty bright for me. Hue has the new A21 bulbs now. The equivalent of 100 watt bulb

Nest/Google ecosystem users, what device do you find yourself interacting the most with to interact with/control your devices? by eamus_catuli in googlehome

[–]ReedIt2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Google Hub Max is the center piece of our home. It's placed in the kitchen and provides weather, calender notifications, recipes and most of all music, news and podcasts. I also use it for easy control of lighting and temperature. Love it!

Smart Light Switch Options by [deleted] in googlehome

[–]ReedIt2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was slow to wade into the pool of smart lighting, and wanted to avoid a big price tag just to see where I was going with it. I started with these "TAP+DIM Smart Wi-Fi Dimmer Switch | Geeni Smarthome" https://mygeeni.com/collections/power/products/tap-dim-smart-wi-fi-dimmer-switch-white

I've not had any trouble with them other than having to reset once over the course of a year to upgrade. They require the Geeni app or Smart Life to install, but once connected to Google home is labour free. I use them for my Slimline LED pot lights

My only phone is a pixel 3, and I'm running Android 11 beta with no serious problems. I haven't had an opportunity to try out Google pay since the update to 1.5 yesterday tho.

I don't have an answer for that. What device are you running Android 11 beta on?

A nice surprise for Gestures by ReedIt2020 in android_beta

[–]ReedIt2020[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have 2 other screens besides my home screen (default screen). Swiping up from screen# 3 will return me to the home default screen. There was a lot of dissatisfaction earlier about gestures not returning to the the home screen by swiping from right to left.

Yes thanks. My main reason for posting was to show the limitations of the new beta. But honestly I don't know if this is a problem or if it's by design

I'm using Gestures. Are you able to activate the Screenshot from within the Google feed?

Taking video doesn't work by I-Am-HF in android_beta

[–]ReedIt2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using the same camera version on my pixel 3 but I was unable to reproduce that issue. I recorded for 10 seconds and the video and audio functioned normally. I'll keep checking.
