A) Set up Google Home or Google Nest with Bridge controlled Hue system
To connect Philips Hue to your Google Assistant, you will need your Google Assistant-enabled device and a Philips Hue Bridge v2 (square-shaped). Open the Google Home app and navigate to the Home Control section in the menu. Press the plus icon to add a device, then scroll to search for Philips Hue. Log in with your My Hue account to automatically search for your Rooms. Follow the on-screen instructions to assign your Google Assistant to your preferred Rooms. After successful setup, you can use your voice to control your lights through your Google Assistant.
B) Set up Google Home or Google Nest with Bluetooth controlled Hue lights
• The easiest way to connect your Philips Hue Bluetooth bulb to your Google Home or Google Nest device is to twist in and power on your Philips Hue bulb, download and open the Google Home app, choose ‘add new devices’ > ‘set up a device’, and it will automatically find your bulb. From there it’s just a few simple steps to set up your bulb in the Google Home app. This only works if you have not paired any other devices with your bulb yet.
• If you have already installed the light in the Philips Hue Bluetooth app, you can still set up the light with Google Home. In the Philips Hue Bluetooth just go to settings > voice assistants and open your bulb for pairing with your Google Home device. Just make sure your lamp has the latest firmware. Then switch to the Google Home app, which will automatically detect the bulb and follow the same steps for pairing.
• The other way around, when your Hue bulb is already setup in the Google Home app and you want to add it to the Philips Hue Bluetooth app, you can ask your Google Home or Google Nest device to make your bulb(s) discoverable again by simply using a voice command “open Philips Hue for pairing”. Then open the Philips Hue Bluetooth app and follow the steps to add your lights.
If you are having trouble with Google Assistant understanding you when trying to control your lights, we recommend renaming your lights to names that do not include numbers, special characters, or colors, as these can be misunderstood by Google Assistant.
Yes, you can use any Google Home or Google Nest device to directly connect and control your Philips Hue lights via the Google Assistant. Note: Only Google Home and Google Nest smart speakers and displays support Philips Hue Bluetooth. Third party devices with Google Assistant built-in do not support Philips Hue Bluetooth.

Power cycle your Hue Bridge by unplugging it from the power source for at least 30 seconds, then plugging it back in. When all four blue LED indicators on top of the Hue Bridge come back on, connect it to Razer Synapse 3 again. If you still cannot connect, you can connect manually via the Bridge’s IP address. To find the address, go to www.philips-hue.com/api/nupnp in your web browser.
First, check to be sure your Razer device is Chroma-enabled. If you have a Chroma-enabled device which is not detected by your Synapse 3, you should contact Razer’s customer support at www.support.razerzone.com/software/synapse-3/.

As you may know, Google is transitioning its ‘Works with Nest’ program to the ‘Works with Hey Google’ program. Related to this, the Philips Hue integration with Nest Thermostat, Nest Cam and Nest Protect will be discontinued starting November 17, 2020.
This will only be temporary, as Google is building existing Works with Nest features into the Google Home App. All other functionality between your Philips Hue lights and Google Assistant smart speakers and displays will not change.
Please stay tuned as we continue working closely with Google to bring new and improved lighting features for your devices.
