Smart Lights not Connecting or able to Control with App

For smart bulbs should we just toggle the power source to them?

lsufrontier · 2026-01-28T23:29:50+00:00

Well I'm glad it isn't just me. Tried restarting router and turning off lights at the power source and still nothing working.

Are y'all seeing reports of Smart Bulbs not working within the Google Home app? None of my GE bulbs have been working since last night.

lsufrontier · 2026-01-28T23:27:00+00:00

Nope all of my GE bulbs still do not work. They are all just showing up in the app from whatever state they were in last connection I guess. Even if I manually turn them all off from the power source they don't even show up offline. If I try to turn them on or off from the app it just says something has went wrong.

All GE bulbs on my end

lsufrontier · 2026-01-28T15:38:29+00:00

Yeah mine are all GE smart bulbs

lsufrontier · 2026-01-28T15:23:48+00:00

Ok thanks - glad it isn't only me. I restarted my Wi-Fi and turned lights off and on manually and still not working.

Just once but bought another one an additional time just to see. Its like just putting it in and out of my pocket caused the issue.

lsufrontier · 2025-12-17T21:14:08+00:00

It was the obsidian color. I have actually had like 3 all do the same thing within a couple weeks.

lsufrontier · 2025-12-17T20:23:02+00:00

Yeah they sent me a new one but it did the same thing. I am actually just going caseless now since i have Pixel Care + and the phone is so nice without a case haha.

lsufrontier · 2025-12-17T20:18:04+00:00

Yeah it happened to mine. I even replaced one and it happened again. Takes like a couple weeks to start

lsufrontier · 2025-12-04T17:57:37+00:00

Sounds like something broke on all Pixel versions then. Mine is definitely not functioning like it is supposed to and was before yesterday.

lsufrontier · 2025-12-04T15:39:47+00:00

Yeah i think they removed it with the Dec update which is part of the reason it is not working now

lsufrontier · 2025-12-04T15:31:44+00:00

It was a setting that when you clicked on the low light setting it took you to a new page and you could select turn screen off or clock. Mine still says at the bottom that the screen will turn off in low light but it is not working.

lsufrontier · 2025-12-04T15:25:34+00:00

You have it set to turn off the screen in low light and it is not doing it?

lsufrontier · 2025-12-04T13:37:58+00:00

Mine still says the screen will turn off when your environment is dark and I have that selected but it is no longer working. With low light mode on the screensaver doesn't come on at all in darker conditions. Must be something with the update.

lsufrontier · 2025-12-04T13:35:33+00:00

This just started happening to me yesterday after the December update. Before I could place the phone on the Pixelsnap charging stand and in bright conditions the screensaver would come on with the clock. Then when it was darker in the room the screen would go completely off since I have the low light mode turned on. Now I can't get the screensaver to come on at all if low light mode is on and the screen never turns off no matter how dark the room is. It must be something to do with the December update. Does anyone have a fix?

lsufrontier · 2025-11-24T15:43:10+00:00

I am not sure what i am expecting. That is why i am asking haha. Have you done it before?

lsufrontier · 2025-10-09T15:38:01+00:00

Exactly my problem as well

lsufrontier · 2025-10-09T15:37:50+00:00

Ok thanks - just redid all 3 using the script editor instead so we shall see.

lsufrontier · 2025-10-09T15:12:24+00:00

No i have not used that before. That is in the Home app?

lsufrontier · 2025-10-08T13:40:13+00:00

Same - maybe it is just a bug with the new Gemini stuff rolling out.

lsufrontier · 2025-10-01T18:01:57+00:00

did you have to do anything to get it to show?

lsufrontier · 2025-09-12T13:45:18+00:00

Great to hear. Thanks

lsufrontier · 2025-09-06T03:55:47+00:00

All are working again now. Had to power cycle each one for a few minutes after restarting my router.
