Google Assistant is the new girl in town, she is smarter than you think and the future holds plenty of possibilities for her. Now that she is being added to every android smartphone running Marshmallow and up, we need to make the most out of her. Here is how to let her control some of your smart home devices like Philips Hue lights, Honeywell or Nest smart thermostats.
What you need, to begin with?
From the listed devices, tap one and assign to a room viz garage, office, kitchen etc. Similarly, you can add and assign more devices in future to different rooms as you please. This will help the Assitant to turn them on/off separately or all at once. You can also create rooms, customize the device & room names. When everything is set, tap done.
Now sit back, bring up the Google Assistant and issue the voice commands (say brighten up the lights), she’ll take care of the rest. Please note that very few smart devices are available in Indian market, hop over to Amazon India or Flipkart to find one that suits your need. Peace!
