Smart Home Tricks You Haven’t Tried Yet With Google Home
Google Home is a voice-controlled assistant that can help you control your home environment, but it can also do so much more. If you’re thinking about purchasing a Google Home, or if you own one but aren’t sure about its capabilities aside from some of the basics, learning more can help you get the most out of the device. Below are some key tips and tricks you may not have tried yet with Google Home.
Getting Started With Voice Controls
To get started with voice controls on your Google Home, you first need to have it set up. To do this, download and open the Google Home app on your phone or tablet and follow the on-screen instructions. Once the initial setup is complete, you can start using voice commands to control your home environment.
To control your home environment using voice commands, you first need to know what sorts of things you can do. Here are a few examples of things you can do with voice commands:
- Adjust the temperature in your home using the “set temperature” command
- Turn lights on or off using the “turn on/off light” command
- Play music from your Google Play Music account using the “play music” command
- Set a schedule for your next alarm using the “set alarm” command
- Get information about your current environment (weather, news, traffic) using “get current events” commands
You can also use voice commands to perform tasks that normally require a physical interaction with your device. For example, you can open a web browser by saying “open web browser.” You can also control smart home devices by asking the device to turn on lights or turn up the thermostat, for example. Once you’ve gotten started with voice controls, you’ll probably find that you use them more than you thought you would!
You can also create custom voice commands to get more out of your Google Home. For example, you can use voice commands to control your home settings, access your content and media, and more. You can also get creative with voice interactions with Google Home by using expressions and jokes. You can even transform your Google Home with smart home compatible apps.
Get Organized With Voice Reminders
Google Home can help you get organized in a number of ways. One way is to use voice controlled reminders. With voice commands, you can easily create a reminder for a specific time or date. You can also use voice commands to schedule your daily routines and to keep your to-do list organized. You can create custom voice reminders for events or tasks. Whether you need a quick reminder for tomorrow or want to plan out your entire week, Google Home can help you get organized quickly and easily.
Control your devices with voice commands
If you’re like most people, you probably have a collection of devices that you use throughout the day. From your phone to your TV to your smart lights, voice commands via Google Home can help you control and operate them from one place. Here are a few ways to do it:
- If you have more than one device that needs attention, you can control them all with a single voice command. For example, say “turn on the living room light and the bedroom light” and Google Home will turn on both lights.
- You can use voice commands to change settings on devices too. For example, say “set the temperature to 72 degrees” and Google Home can set a smart thermostat accordingly.
- One of the great features of Google Home is its ability to stream music and video from services like YouTube and Netflix. You can use voice commands to control playback on your Smart TV as well. For example, say “Hey Google, play Stranger Things on Netflix” to watch the show on the app.
If you’re looking to add some extra convenience and control to your Google Home-enabled house, these smart home tricks are sure to come in handy! With just a few voice commands, you can manage your settings, music, and more.
