Are your Google Home Bluetooth keeps disconnecting? If you have an Amazon Echo and Google Home device, you know they’re Fun, but they can be overbearing, especially when connecting simultaneously. It’s enough to drive even the most patient of audiophiles to crack up! They keep disconnecting, which is frustrating when you’re trying to do several things at once, like listening to music, checking the weather, and answering questions about the house or your friends.
Google Home Bluetooth Keeps Disconnecting
This happens occasionally (maybe once a month), so it’s not an issue you need to worry about every day. But if it is happening more frequently, then it’s something you should take care of right away. To that end, we tested out a few solutions for keeping Google Home connected for more than 10 seconds at a time. Some work with Alexa devices only, and others with both Alexa and Google Home devices. Let’s see how each one works in our guide to unblocking Google Home from Bluetooth disconnections:
Change the Communications Channel for Google Home
First things first, make sure you have the required communication channel open on both your Echo and Google Home devices. Like most communication devices, the one in your house will be connected to your telephone network. If you don’t have an “out-of-the-box” option for setting up your Google Home device, you likely won’t be able to connect it to your phone’s data network.
That’s perfectly fine, though, because there are plenty of options for connecting Google Home to a computer or mobile device. All you need to do is enable a “Babel feature” on your Google Home device, and you’ll be able to select which devices on your phone will be able to connect with it.
Set Up a Dimmer Switch on Your Echo
A simple dimmer switch is a great solution if you want to unplug your Echo when it’s not in use. You can purchase an inexpensive model built to connect with your existing outlets or a more expensive model with a better ability to block out the noise. If you want to go the cheaper route, you can purchase a dimmer switch with a range of 2-10 amps.
The higher the number, the less noise the switch will let through, and the farther it will block out other devices on your phone’s network. The downside is that it will only function while the device is plugged in. You can only dim the lights when the switch is connected to an electrical outlet.
Set Up a Wall Switch on Your Google Home
If you want to unplug your Google Home when it’s not in use but still want to keep it connected to your phone, then a wall switch is a more permanent solution. These are ideal when you want to avoid the mess of a smartphone connection and prefer to have complete control over the lights. You can purchase an inexpensive model built to connect with your existing outlets or a more expensive model with a better ability to block out the noise.

Use an Airoh Adapter with Your Google Home
If you want to go with a more permanent solution but still don’t want to invest in a wall switch, then an adapter is a great option. This device you stick into the wall, and then you can connect your Google Home device to it with an included wire. Plenty of air oh adapters available will work with almost any TV, so it shouldn’t be a problem to find one that will work with yours.

How do you stop Google Home from disconnecting?
There are a couple of different ways to fix this. To start the process, you should know when the Google Home suddenly disconnects or malfunctions. This can happen when it regularly responds to commands but stops talking immediately. When this happens, you may need to restart your Google Home.
In addition, there are a few easy steps you can take to solve any problems with your Google Home device before they get too serious or costly:
Plug it into an outlet: If your Assistant isn’t turning on even when plugged into an outlet, move on to the next step.
Reset the Google Home: This will remove any interruptions or incompatibilities that may have caused the disconnection. To do this, turn on your Google Home and press and hold the power button for longer than 5 seconds.
Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: When you have completed any steps of fixing it, turn off the Wi-Fi connection of your Google Home device so that it will only continue to function with the Internet connection. Also, disable your Bluetooth devices since they refer to each other during their connection.
Unplugging a plugged-in Assistant
If you plugged in your Google Home but still don’t see it respond, then a possible solution is to unplug it from its charger. You’d want to reset and then plug it into a different outlet. If none of these steps work and you need additional help, you can comment below with the steps you tried.
Conclusion
It can be difficult to unplug your Google Home device from a call or conversation even when you’re aware of what’s happening. We’ve put together these tips to help you unblock Google Home from Bluetooth disconnections. Remember, don’t drive your car while talking on a phone, and don’t connect your phone to a wall socket while it’s not connected to a charger. Doing so could result in an expensive accident! If you follow these tips, you should be able to keep your Google Home connected for longer.
