If you’ve invested in a Google Home or Google Home Mini unit, and you’ve been using it for a while, you’re probably interested in its wider applications. Specifically: how it can interact with other, third-party smart home appliances.
Google’s Assistant is a big deal and in order to make it as useful as possible, The Big G has worked closely with many of the biggest players in the smart home appliances and accessories space, so you can interact with your home simply by issuing vocal commands.
This is where devices like Google Home really come into their own and actually start to feel like a little slice of the future that’s just around the corner. With Google Home, you can control lights inside your home, set alarms, order your washing machine to do a cycle, activate security alarms – tons of stuff, basically.
