Google Home’s rogue smart light problem should now be fixed
Google appears to have acted fast to ensure the haunted-house phase didn't last long.
Google has resolved an issue that caused some smart lights to activate without user input, according to the company. The bug affected Google Home users on iOS and impacted lights from multiple manufacturers. The exact cause of the problem remains undisclosed by Google. Users reported their smart lights turning on spontaneously when they opened the Google Home app on their iOS devices, with some lights refusing to turn off even after attempts to do so.
The issue was observed with lights from brands such as Govee, Philips Hue, and Tapo, and appeared to be confined to the iOS app. However, Google has assured users that the problem has now been rectified.
