To do this: | Say "Hey Google" or “Ok Google," then: |
To turn a light on or off | "Turn on or off <light name>" |
Dim lights | "Dim the desk light" or "Dim all the lights” |
Brighten lights | "Brighten the desk light" |
Set a light brightness to a certain percentage | "Set desk light to 50%" or "Set lights to 70%" |
Dim or brighten lights by a certain percentage | "Dim/Brighten lamp by 50%" or "Dim/Brighten lights by 10%" |

Note: When your speaker or smart display and compatible lights are in the same room in the Google Home app (because you would assign your light a room during setup), your speaker or display will know your voice commands are for the lights in that room. For example, if your speaker or smart display and smart lights are in the living room, and you say "Hey Google, turn off the lights," then the living room lights will turn off.
Other ways to control your lights
- You can turn your lights on and off from the Google Home app. You can also change the color temperature.
- To control your lights and other smart devices with just one voice command, you can set a routine.
