Switches & Dimmers that work with Google Home: the 18 that do, and what each one can't do

18 of the 23 switches & dimmers in our library work with Google Home: 12 for everything they list, and 6 with an exception named on each. Every one of them is listed here with the catch that applies on Google Home specifically — the setup it needs, what stays stuck in the vendor's own app, and where Google Home's automations can't reach a capability the device has.

Work for everything they list

1. GE Cync Paddle Dimmer Smart Switch (Matter)

   Two real paths: Matter (local, on/off/dim only) or Cync-account cloud linking in Google Home — GE's guide requires signing into the Cync account, so the WiFi path is cloud-linked, not direct. No deeper Google-specific integration exists for the switches; app features stay in the Cync app.

2. Inovelli White Series Smart Fan/Light Canopy Module (VTM36)

   Inovelli lists Google among the platforms the module works with, with the note 'Requires a compatible device', meaning a Google speaker or display that acts as a Thread border router and Matter controller. Inovelli's sentence naming the platforms that support separate fan-speed and dimming control does not name Google, so how far Google goes with those settings is not published by Inovelli.

   Automations Google Home's Matter page lists this kind of device; its automations can use Brightness, Fan mode and On/off.

3. Fanimation fanSync AC Motor WiFi Receiver (WFR50)

   The same sentence and the same Connections menu name Google Home alongside Amazon Echo, with Fanimation linking to Google's own account-linking help page. Same two limits as the Alexa cell: cloud-routed, and no published command list.

4. Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi Dimmer, 2nd Gen (D26HD)

   Cloud integration via My Leviton account; Matter is an alternative path.

5. Lutron Caseta Diva Smart Dimmer (DVRF-6L)

   Works through the Caséta Smart Hub, which is required and sold separately — this dimmer speaks Lutron's proprietary Clear Connect RF and has no radio of its own. With the hub, Google Home does the whole job: on, off, dim and scenes by voice. Google's own list of devices that Google Home routines can control names this dimmer by model, for on, off and dimming.

6. Lutron Caséta Wireless In-Wall Switch (PD-5ANS)

   Named on the same Lutron 'Works With' page as 'Google Assistant', which is the voice service rather than the Google Home app. Reached through the Smart Bridge; the switch itself is Clear Connect only.

7. Lutron Caséta Wireless In-Wall Switch (PD-5WS-DV)

   Named on the same Lutron 'Works With' page as 'Google Assistant', which is the voice service rather than the Google Home app. Reached through the Smart Bridge; the switch itself is Clear Connect only.

8. Lutron Caséta Smart Fan Speed Control Switch (PD-FSQN)

   Requires a Lutron Smart Hub; the switch itself has no standard radio.

9. Lutron Claro Smart Switch for Caséta (DVRF-5NS)

   Requires a Lutron Smart Hub; the switch carries no standard radio.

10. TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Dimmer Switch KS225 (Matter)

    Works with Google Home per the official datasheet; Matter is an alternative path.

11. TP-Link Tapo S505 Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch

    TP-Link writes 'Google Assistant' in its compatibility list, which is the voice service, while naming the 'Google Home app' as the commissioning route - the app rather than the assistant. Both belong to the same Matter path; the wording is TP-Link's own inconsistency and does not change the mechanism.

    Automations Google Home's Matter page lists this kind of device; its automations can use On/off.

12. SONOFF iFan04-L Wi-Fi Ceiling Fan and Light Controller

    Named in the same sentence as Alexa and carrying the same qualification: cloud-routed through eWeLink, with no published command list. Google Home is also named a second time in SONOFF's Matter-bridge blurb, but that is the eWeLink CUBE route described in the Apple cell, not a separate integration.
