Google home automation, expiration, routine – many names, one idea
Let’s start at the beginning: what exactly are google home automations? In a process, as google itself calls it, google assistant automatically does a number of things for you. Which exactly, you define beforehand in the google home app. Each action is triggered by a specific voice command such as z.B. "good morning" triggered via your google nest hub.
Once activated, the smart assistant from google then takes care of all the tasks you have previously selected. This could be controlling your smart lights, reading out your schedule, navigating via google maps or a variety of other actions.
You don’t have to commit to just one routine. There are a lot of predefined automations as well as the possibility to create own ones. one thing is for sure: once you get to know the google home automations you won’t want to miss them anymore.
The right google automation for every situation – this is how it works
as already briefly mentioned, there are several standard automations available right from the start. This includes, for example, the procedures ""working day", "going out of the house" or even "sleeping time". These processes, already suggested by google, are particularly easy to set up. So let’s start with this.
One more thing: if you allow access to personal results, information like your appointments from google calendar, notes, reminders etc. can also be accessed. Be integrated into your automations.
- Open the Google home app
- Click on "expires"
- Select the process of your choice
- optional: select more voice commands to trigger (in the field "when i say to assistant")
- Add suggested actions or create your own
- Under "start my runs on" select your google nest hub as the device
The selection of suitable actions
Selecting the appropriate actions is the main focus of automation. Here you have a variety of options to choose from. These include getting information such as weather, navigation, appointments, and controlling your smart home devices such as lights or cameras. Also, you can play music and podcasts through the flow. However, this is only a small selection, because you have many more options.
