For a few weeks now, a command ‘off’ given via google switches the lamp off, but a second later on again.  
It doen’t happen always….

When the command is given via Siri no problem.

I suspected something in google. So I deleted the homey link and build it backup again. Same results.

The command: ‘hey google switch off eettafel’.

Sometimes, when I give after a few attemps the command, ‘hey google switch off the lamps eettafel’ the lamp switches off. But not always…….

What the device timeline shows ? You can see also sources there, sometimes it helps with investigation.

Hi,  
In the timeline I don’t see action initiated by google commands.
