About Sengled Bulbs
Sengled is a global innovator in LED lighting, and it has also pioneered research and development that brings bright new ideas to smart lighting. They have now integrated consumer electronics with energy-saving LED bulbs.
If you would like to pair your Pulse bulbs to work as Bluetooth speakers for your Google Home Assistant, this would be done via the Google Home app. Note that once the pulse bulbs are connected to the Google Home, you will not be able to control the lights. This is because Google Home connects to the pulse bulbs as a Bluetooth speaker and does not an interface that interacts with the lights.
For you to be able to control your lights, you have to disconnect the Google Home Assistant from the pulse bulbs and then connect back the pulse bulbs with your mobile device to be able to control the pulse bulbs via the pulse app. You are able to control the volume of music that Google Home is streaming through the pulse bulbs via the commands of Google Home as usual.
How to Connect Sengled With Google Assistant
- Power the Sengled pulse bulbs on and make sure that Google Home Assistant is also powered on
- Make sure that the singled pulse device is not connected to any other device like phones and tablets
- Open Google Home app and then scroll down and select the Google Home device you wish to pair your Sengled pulse.
- On the page with the Google Home device’s names, at the top, press the gear button, Settings, in the top right corner.
- From the device settings page, then scroll down
- Select Default Music speaker
- Then tap on Pair Bluetooth speaker so that the Google Home device can find the pulse bulb.
- When the Google Home device is now connected to the pulse device, press on Done. Now the music from your Google Home device will play from your pulse.
But your google home will continue to speak to you using the default speaker.
You also have to note that the Google Home app will not automatically assign the bulbs to their corresponding scenes that are already assigned by the Sengled Home app.
You may assign them to rooms via the Google Home app so that you keep the same groupings; you may assign them to an office room in your Google Home app so that you can use the groupings functionality.
You must also remember that the name changes that are made in the Google Home app will not reflect in the Sengled Home app. Also, the name changes that are made through the singled app will not reflect in the Google Home app unless you unlink and relink your singled home.
If by chance, you add new devices or rename your devices in the Sengled Home app, you should then tap the plus button, then add devices or say “Hey Google, sync my devices” so that the devices are refreshed.
