For something that is supposed to simplify your setup, Google Home has been having a rough run with smart lighting lately. After a recent hiccup in which Google Assistant voice commands stopped working, users are now encountering another confusing problem. This time, it is about missing features.

Several Reddit users and Google Nest Community members are reporting that their smart bulbs are still connected and working inside Google Home, but the app no longer shows any color controls. Instead of the usual RGB options or color wheel, they are left with only basic white and yellow lighting. It creates a strange situation where the bulb is technically working, but a core part of its functionality has simply vanished from the interface. At the same time, others say everything is functioning normally on their end. That split makes it clear this is not a full-blown outage but rather an inconsistent glitch affecting certain setups while leaving others untouched.
