    You might have to unlink it and 're link it in the Google Home app. But mine works great

    Mine have all stopped. In the middle of resetting everything, hopefully it works.

    They've been a little temperamental lately alright, stop responding after a while but ok after a reset.

    Will try relinking later.

    Mine have stopped working as well and I've also noticed they don't seem to work with IFTTT either now? Very annoying as I have them hooked up to Smartthings with IFTTT.

    Any ideas what the problem is and will it be resolved?

    No joy. They work using both the yeelight and Google home app but not voice control. Such a pain!

    Sounds strange.

    I've two minis that control 5 Yeelights... All working perfectly on voice commands. Just tried them all to make sure there again. All running the latest update.

    You could try the mi home app and pick one of the servers that have the yeelight on it and that app will link on the Google Home app

    Yea IFTTT no longer controlling mine

    I did but get them going again with Google Home.

    I noticed a bulb firmware update pending when in the Yeelight app so applied it.

    I've no idea if this is what resolved it but they did reconnect with Goggle Home afterwards (well after it bounced a couple more times)

    Strange update from here, I just took delivery of a Google Home Hub and set it up- I can control my Yeelights using the hub, but still not my Google Home or Home Mini. Are they running off a different version of Google Assistant I wonder?

    Edit- only the hub will control my TP Link Wifi plugs too, so definitely a general issue as opposed to a Yeelight only issue.

    2nd Edit- figured it had something to do with the firmware on the speakers, so did a hard reset on each device and now everything works again!
