We turned off the lamp, removed the bulb and allowed it to sit while we went out for a bit. After returning, I re-installed the bulb, and had to reset it via online directions (very easy). Afterwards I reconnect the bulb in the Google home app and it's back to normal.

This works with you saying that command or it turns on/off a light at a certain time. Ex. If you come come when it's dark outside, you can set the timer 10 mins before you get home.
