I have read through the posts. I have tried all the recommendations but still nothing. I have tried set and turn on with the device name an speed but I get the great apology. I also notice that in the google home app the fan light will turn on/off via the app but the fan is shown as off line and can’t be controlled there. Not sure if this has something to do with this. I can turn the light on and the fan on as long as I don’t ask for a speed things work. I have tried to set up a routine thinking I google doesn’t understand me but I was able to get it to work one time but so far not again. I even setup the same routines for my other two fans but nothing there. I am moving my house from Alexa to google and this is one of the last sticking points. Thanks for any further suggestions. I am on version 2 of software platform but still had an issue on version one. My bond is about 4 years old so not sure if this older hardware can be an issue. > Blockquote ---

> [@Edward](#): > > My bond is about 4 years old so not sure if this older hardware can be an issue. The older hardware has some issues, but it’s mainly WiFi-related, nothing that’d result in Google Home not working differently than the new hardware. Google handles the voice → intent mapping, and recently there was a change: - “Set to speed #” - **Not working** as of 11/29/19 - “Set speed to #” - **Working** as of 11/29/19 Have you tried the second phrasing? ---

Yes I have tried both set and turn with no luck with either. ---

I accidently found that using the room name rather than the fan name works better with Google. EG I have a fan named “Fan Alpha” in room “Bedroom 1”. “Set Bedroom 1 fan speed to 2” almost always works whereas “Set Fan Alpha speed to 2” invariably fails. This of course would be problematic if a room has multiple fans. I have not had to deal with that yet - but probably will soon. ---

I recommend you contact [customersupport@olibra.io](mailto:customersupport@olibra.io) if you haven’t already done so. Also, @joaoricardo can maybe provide more insight. ---

Please let me know if you have found a solution since I have the same problem as well. I’ve tried all of the following, and none seem to work: “Set fan speed to (#/high/medium/low)” “Set (Room) (fan name) speed to #” “Set fan to (high/medium/low)” “Turn fan on to speed (#/high/medium/low)” “Set fan to speed (#/high/medium/low)” All I get in response is “I don’t understand”. What DOES seem to work is the lights. I can set them to any brightness and turn them on and off without issue. Only the fan is the issue. Anyone have any fixes?
