TL;DR
- Google says it has fixed an issue that caused some smart lights to turn on without user input.
- The bug had been affecting Google Home users on iOS and involved lights from several different brands.
- Google hasn’t explained what caused the problem, but the original Reddit poster says their setup is back to normal.
Google Home users had a slightly haunted-house problem on their hands earlier, with smart lights switching on by themselves without being asked. The good news is that Google now says the issue has been fixed.
We reported on the bug this morning after users on Reddit described their connected lights turning on when they opened the Google Home app on iOS. In some cases, switching the lights back off didn’t help, as they would turn themselves on again seconds later. Reports involved lights from several brands, including Govee, Philips Hue, and Tapo, while the issue appeared to be limited to the iOS app.
