How to Connect Smart Bulb to Google Home

Before we get started, make sure to install the Yeelight app first and test if your lights are working with the app.

1. Open the Google Home app and tap on the Add icon. Select Set up device > Works with Google and search for Yeelight. Tap on it to open the Xiaomi login page. This action will link your Xiaomi account and your Google Home account. Sign in using the same credentials that you used to sign-in to your Yeelight app. Once the login is successful, the app will display all your connected Yeelight bulbs.

Before you can enable the said bulb, you’d need to assign its room. That is because if you have more than one bulb, it makes it easy for Google Assistant to find a particular bulb.

Having assigned the room, you can do your first test by toggling the On/Off switch. To adjust the brightness, tap on the bulb and drag the slider as per your liking.

If you have multiple Yeelight bulbs, you can name them as Bulb 1, Bulb 2, Bulb 3 and so on, to make them easier to remember. Or, you can give single syllable names, such as Ava, Lily, etc.

Now, to test using your voice, simply wake up your Assistant and say something along the lines of “Turn Ava in the office off.”
