Connect your Dyson machine to your Google Assistant-enabled device

Open the Google Home app and tap the plus icon in the top left. Set up a new device and select "Have something already set up?" Search for "Dyson" and tap to select the Dyson Action.

You'll be prompted to link your Dyson account, this is the one you used to connect your machine to the Dyson Link app.

Follow the instructions in the Google Home app to add your Dyson machines.

How does Google Assistant discover my machine?

When you first connect your Dyson machine to the Dyson Link app you'll give it a room name. You'll find a list of pre-set room names in the app, such as 'Bedroom' or 'Kitchen'. Google Assistant uses this room name to identify your machine.

Google Assistant uses this to name your machine in the Google Home app as well.

How do I control an individual Dyson machine?

To control an individual Dyson machine using voice commands, you can either directly name the machine in your command or say the room name the machine is assigned to in the Google Home app.

If you say "Hey Google, enable auto mode in the Bedroom", Google Assistant will identify the machine named 'Bedroom' or a machine in the bedroom and enable auto mode.

Saying "Hey Google, enable auto mode", will enable auto mode for any purifiers in your current room, if the room is set up in the Google Home app.

Disconnecting your machine from the Google Home app

Open the Google Home app and tap the machine you wish to remove.

Tap the settings icon in the top right and select "Unlink Dyson".

When you remove your Dyson machine from a home:

• It will disconnect the device from members in the home
• It will be unlinked from your Google Account
• Data associated with this device will be deleted. Note: Some basic device data may remain associated with the home.

Check Google Assistant can hear you

Google Assistant may not have heard you or recognised your question or command. Make sure you are close enough to your smart home device and speak clearly.

Check Google Assistant can hear you by asking "Hey Google, what did I just say?". Your smart home device should light up when you say "Hey Google ...". If your device has a screen, you'll see it respond.

Check your smart home device

First, make sure:

1. Your Google Nest or Google Home speaker or display is powered on and plugged into a wall outlet
2. The microphone isn't muted
   • For Google Home: on the back of the device, touch the microphone mute button. Your Assistant will say whether the microphone is muted.
   • For Google Nest Mini (2nd gen) and Google Home Mini (1st gen): on the side of the device, toggle the mic switch. Your Assistant will say whether the microphone is muted.
   • For Google Nest Audio: on the back of the device, next to the power cord, toggle the mic switch. Your Assistant will say whether the microphone is muted.
   • For Google Nest displays: on the back of your display, use the switch to turn on the microphone. Your Assistant will say whether the microphone is muted.
3. The LED dots on top of your speaker or display spins or blinks when you say “Ok Google” or "Hey Google."
4. If your Assistant answers other questions, try to ask the unanswered question in a different way.

General troubleshooting

If you've checked off all of the steps above and your Assistant still doesn't provide an answer, try one of the steps below and ask your question again. If you still don't get an answer, move to the next step.

Reboot your speaker or display

1. Disconnect the power cable from your device.
2. Reconnect the power cable.

Make sure your device recognizes the hotword

Say “Hey Google” to your speaker or display. Check if the LED dots on the top of your device spin or blink, indicating that it recognized the hotword.

Make sure your device recognised the question correctly

1. Ask your Assistant the question again.
2. Say "Hey Google, repeat the question" to make sure your Assistant understood you correctly.
3. If it's still not recognizing the question, try to speak slower or try another question.

Resetting your password

If you aren't able to log in to link your Dyson account to the Google Home app, you may need to reset your Dyson account password.

Select the forgotten password link on the log in screen and follow the instructions.

After changing the password on your Dyson account, you'll need to wait 30 minutes before logging back in.

If you enter the password or authentication code incorrectly more than four times, your account will be locked. It will be automatically unlocked after 30 minutes.

Check for device or setup issues

Your machine must be connected to the Dyson Link app and the Dyson Action must be enabled for Google Assistant to discover your machine.

If your machine hasn't been connected to the Dyson Link app, open the app and select Add machine. Follow the in-app connection instructions.

Check your machine

• Unplug your machine and wait for 10 seconds. Plug your machine back in and turn it on.
• Unplug your smart home device and wait for 10 seconds. Plug it back in.
• Open your Dyson Link app and check that your machine is online.

Check the Dyson Action

• Open the Google Home app and check that the Dyson Action is enabled
• Unlink the Dyson Action and then re-link it

What did Google Assistant hear?

Your command may have been misheard or misinterpreted by Google Assistant. To check this say "Hey Google, show me my activity" to bring up your recent activity, including recent voice commands.

You can also ask Google Assistant to read back the last command by asking "Hey Google, what did you hear?"

What actions did Google Assistant take?

Saying "Hey Google, show me my activity" will show you recent voice commands. You can view the details of each command to see what Google Assistant heard, the responses and actions taken.

Google Assistant learns the more you use it but some commands may not be recognised. Try using different words in your command.

For example, if you say "Hey Google, turn on fan motion", and it doesn't work, try saying "Hey Google, turn on oscillation mode".

What are some of the things I can ask Google Assistant?

There are different commands that can be used to interact with Google Assistant, here are some examples:

Turning your Dyson machine on and off

• "Hey Google, turn on my purifier"
• "Hey Google, turn on night mode"
• "Hey Google, turn off humidification on the purifier"

Changing fan speed

• "Hey Google, set the bedroom fan speed to 7"
• "Hey Google, turn up the bedroom fan speed"
• "Hey Google, decrease the bedroom fan speed by 3"

Changing oscillation settings

• "Hey Google, turn on oscillation mode"
• "Hey Google, set oscillation to wide"

Check and clean the machine

A grating or grinding noise could be caused by a blockage.

To always get the best performance from your Dyson purifying humidifying fan, it's important to regularly clean it and check for blockages.

Cleaning your machine

Wipe the machine with a damp lint-free cloth, paying special attention to the two oscillating channels within the amplifier loop.

Look for blockages in the air inlet holes in the shrouds, the small aperture inside the amplifier loop, and the soft plastic mesh visible inside the machine when the evaporator is removed.

Use a soft brush to remove dust and debris.

Do not use detergents or polishes to clean the machine.

Trickling or gurgling noise

If your machine is making a trickling or a gurgling sound, this indicates that the evaporator may be missing or has not been inserted correctly. Remove the evaporator and reinsert it.

Hold the evaporator by the handle and push it into the machine until it slots into place.

With the evaporator in place, close the inner door making sure it clicks firmly shut.

A trickling or gurgling noise can be heard if the evaporator is missing. In this instance, please replace the evaporator in the machine.

Should the drip tray overfill, the machine's water return float is activated. As the water returns to the tank, a trickling or gurgling noise may be heard. The display screen will prompt that a deep clean cycle is to be run.

Deep cleaning your machine

To always get the best performance from your Dyson purifying humidifying fan, it is important to carry out regular deep cleaning to remove any limescale.

Before and after long periods where humidification is not used, we recommend you run an additional Deep clean cycle.

In hard water areas, you may need to run the Deep clean cycle more frequently. We recommend you use filtered water to always get the best performance from your machine.

Please follow the steps in the video.
