Set up and control Philips Hue Bluetooth®-enabled devices

Set up your plugs

1. Set up your speaker or smart display, if you haven’t already done so.
2. Plug your Bluetooth-enabled plug into an outlet in the same room as your speaker or smart display.
3. Open the Google Home app .
4. Tap Devices   Add Google Nest or partner device .
5. Select the plug you’d like to set up.
6. Where is this device? Choose what room your bulb is in.
   1. To create a custom room, tap Add custom room  type in room name  tap Next.
7. Create a unique name. Type in the name for your plug that you'll use for voice commands. It's recommended to use a contextual name like "entertainment plug" or "coffeemaker plug." For best results, don’t include the room in the plug’s name. (When you say the room name in a voice command, your speaker or display controls all the plugs in the room.)
8. "Setting up your smart plug...."
9. Your plug is ready. Tap Done.
10. Setup is successful. You can now control your plugs with your speaker or display.

Control your plugs

Basic voice commands

To do this:	Say "Hey Google" or “Ok Google," then:
Turn a plug on or off	"Turn on coffeemaker plug" "Turn off entertainment plug"
Turn all plugs on or off	"Turn on all the plugs" "Turn off all the plugs"

Note: When your speaker or smart display, and compatible plugs, are in the same room in the Google Home app (because you would assign your plug a room during setup), your speaker or display will know your voice commands are for the plugs in that room. For example, if your speaker or display, and smart plugs, are in the living room, and you say "Hey Google, turn off the plugs," then the living room plugs will turn off.

Other ways to control your plugs

• You can turn your plugs on and off from the Google Home app.
• To control your plugs and other smart devices with just one voice command, you can set a routine.

1. To create or change a nickname, open the Google Home app .
2. Tap and hold your device's tile.
3. At the top right, tap Settings   Name.
4. Enter a name  tap Save.

Tip: Because you assigned your device to a room during setup, your speaker or display already knows the room it’s in. Your voice commands will be more clear if you use a contextual name like "overhead light" or "cooking plug" instead of a name like "kitchen plug."

Note: You cannot unlink individual Philips Hue smart devices. When you remove one device through the "Unlink Philips Hue" flow, it will remove all Philips Hue devices.

1. Make sure your device(s) are powered on.
2. Open the Google Home app .
3. Tap and hold your device's tile.
4. Tap Settings  Unlink Philips Hue Unlink (Note: This will remove all your Philips Hue smart devices. Currently, it doesn't support the individual removal of Philips Hue smart devices.)

1. Turn the device off for 10 seconds, then turn it back on.
2. Make sure you have the latest version of the Google Home app.
3. Reboot your speaker or display.
4. Force close the Google Home app.
5. Factory reset your Philips Hue smart devices.
6. Factory reset your speaker or display.

Note: If your devices don’t show up in either the Google Home app or the Philips Hue app, they probably need to be factory reset.

• The signal between your device and your speaker or display might not be strong enough. To increase the signal strength, move the device and speaker or display closer to each other. They should be no more than 15 feet apart.
• You might not be a member of the home that the device was set up in. Ask the person who created the home to add you as a member.
• Other devices near your speaker or smart display or Philips Hue smart devices might cause interference. If you have a nearby Wi-Fi router, cordless phone, microwave, or Bluetooth speaker, move it further away if you can.
• You might have too many Philips Hue smart devices. You can add up to 6 devices.

If you're still unable to resolve the issue, share feedback about speakers or displays.

1. Make sure all your devices are turned on.
2. Factory reset your devices.
3. Reboot the speaker or display that you use to set up your devices. Then attempt to re-setup your devices using the Google Home app.

Note: If your devices are connected to the Philips Hue app, you can also factory reset your devices. Just press the reset button from the Philips Hue app.
