#GOOGL EPHOTOS NOT SYNCING TO GOOGLE HOME HUB ANDROID#

If you’re on an Android phone, checking your power options is easy. Note: Keep in mind you might not see the battery icon in the “Control Center” unless you’ve previously added it there. The phone will allow apps to work in the background, and Google Photos should be able to sync. You’ve now turned off the low power mode. If the low battery mode is turned on, there will be a highlighted battery icon.If your model is older, swipe from the bottom up. Open the “Control Center.” Those who have an iPhone X or newer models should swipe down.After reviewing the logs, I can see that it shows that it will not add those white-only bulb groups to Google Home and only the color bulbs. Not sure why they will not re-link to Google Home as they were 'initially' hooked up. I went back to Google Home from my phone and tried to reactivate the Hubitat and that's when I noticed I could no longer add those groups to Google Home.Īfter reviewing all my notes from yesterday on trying to re-link with Google Home a few times, I noticed that the groups in question are only White-only bulbs from Philips Hue that will not hook up to Google Home. Refreshed the page and it still showed so I went in a deleted it. After unlinking, I noticed that in the Hubitat > Apps area that Google Home still existed. However, I had to go to each device on Devices and rename all the labels from 'lights' to 'bulbs'.Īfter that, I noticed I started having issues with Google Home so I unlinked Google Home from Hubitat. After, I went into Hubitat > Apps > Hue integration and did a refresh and noticed all the new names appeared.

Example: Kitchen Light 1, Kitchen Light 2 renamed to Kitchen Bulb 1, Kitchen Bulb 2 from within the Philips Hue app. Google Home sometimes has had issues if the device has the word 'light' in it and we (the wife and I) were getting tired of fighting with Google Home so I figured I'd change the the name them from lights to bulbs so Google Home wouldn't get confused anymore. Now, I had already added them to Google Home previously before renaming the bulbs in the Philips Hue app. and when I brought in the Room from Hue, now I can see all the levels. When I was using Hubitat Groups, it would not show the dimmer levels of the groups, etc. When I integrated with Hue, didn't see the area to pull in Philips Hue 'rooms' as groups when I hooked up Hue to Hubitat. Initially, when I integrated with Philips Hue, I pulled in all the bulbs separately then created 'Hubitiat Groups' under Apps. The 5 random devices I selected were working earlier this morning so I know the devices are compatible for the integration. I also wrote down the 5 devices that kept being added to Google Home with no issues and tried to connect Hubitat to Google Home again without selecting those 5 devices and randomly choosing 5 other devices and after selecting them and authorizing/confirming them, they NEVER synced to Google Home and after reviewing that new connection to Google Home, there is no linked services for Hubitat. I've also gone into Hubitat > App > Google Home and selected and authorized the other devices I need but they never show up on Google Home. If I also don't select the same 5 devices from each time connecting, it will still show only those 5 devices still! I've also removed Google Home from Hubitat, unlinked it, and tried connecting again to the same 5 devices. I've gone as far as unlinking Hubitat again from Google Home, verifying it was removed from the Hubitat, then connecting again 15 minutes later with the same issue. The problem is it will only have 5 devices on the screen.Īfter going to Hubitat > App > Google Home, it will only show 5 devices were authorized. I then select 10 devices to authorize.Īfter they are authorized, Google Home wants to then have you set them to room. Then go back through Google Home and connect to Hubitat, it will link back up.

If you go on Google Home and unlink the Hubitat account, it will unlink. An issue I've been dealing with for the past 2 hours:
