Things you can do with Google smart home integration
1. Search for your phone
By simply commanding Google to find your smartphone, it will call it automatically. Even if you leave it in the most unusual spot, like under a pillow or seat cushion, Google Home is sure to help you locate your phone within just a few minutes.
2. Turn on the lights
There is no need to fumble for a light switch while entering a dark room. Just say, “Google, turn on the lights,” and you can now see where you’re going!
3. Lock and unlock your doors remotely
Tell Google to lock your doors, and it will remember to lock all of them, keeping your family safer by ensuring every door is secure. You just need sturdy, compatible smart locks to go with it.
4. Create a centralized family hub
Some in your family may need features like calendars and appointment reminders, while others may just want to stream their favorite music or ask interesting questions.
Whatever the case, Google Home makes adding multiple accounts easy. It can even recognize each person’s unique voice, so every member of your family will have a customized hub unique to them.
5. Shop online
Add a payment method and delivery address, and you’ll be ready to do all your shopping from the comfort of your home. Not only that, but you’ll be able to buy almost anything you want with a simple voice command.
