- Google Home will automatically group devices, scenes and programs with similar names containing the same word. It makes no distinction between a program and a device at this time. Example: If the user names a device “Hue bloom 1”, names a scene “Hue lights”, and names a program “Hue Color cycle” then speaking “Turn hue on” will result in device, scene, and program being toggled in some cases. This may change as time goes on.
