A strange Google Home app bug is automatically switching on smart lights across homes
The issue currently affects only the iOS app, so Android and web users are safe (for now).
A peculiar issue has emerged with the Google Home app on iOS, causing smart lights throughout users' homes to turn on automatically when the application is opened. This mysterious bug, which seems to affect smart lighting devices from various brands such as Govee, Philips Hue, Tapo, and Kasa, has been reported by multiple users on Reddit.
The problem also includes smart home hub bridges, according to the sources. Despite attempts to manually switch the lights off, the issue persists as the Google Home app forces the devices to turn back on just moments later. Users have been forced to resort to unplugging devices or unlinking third-party accounts to rectify the situation.
This unexpected glitch has caused significant frustration among iPhone and iPad users who rely on their smart lighting setups.
