Google Home: Here's How to Set Up And Program Your Smart Speaker To Assist You
Cores Grace MalaayFor some homeowners, who just got their hands on Google Home, they may need help in setting it up. After setting up, then everything's ready to have someone or something to talk to.
According to Wired, the Google Home app needs to be downloaded first to start with. Once done, it will walk users through the basic steps from choosing a preferred language, setting up internet or Wi-Fi and everything else.
After all the basic set up, the app will ask where the Google Home is placed in the house. Wired suggested to place it somewhere in the house that is accessible enough like the living room or the bedroom and once it's done, the app will ask to sign in to the Google account.
Upon signing in to the Google account, Google Home will tap the email, calendar, flights, reminders and more, which allows Home to answer questions regarding the activities for the day. Home can also be used in playing music, which needs a Chromecast Audio to work.
To do this, open the app then tap Menu found in the upper left corner and choose More Settings - TV's and Speakers to add the device. Once done, playing music or even watching TV would be more convenient without doing anything other than saying, "OK, Google" and so on.
Additionally, smart light at home can also be connected to Home. For Samsung SmartThings and Phillips Hue owners, they have full control when these are connected especially when changing the color of light in all parts of the house.
According to Android Central, IFTTT has a wide range of applets that are available for Assistant that works properly with Home and Pixel. Starting with choosing the option in making a New Applet, search for Assistant and choose ‘Say a simple phrase' to make Google Assistant respond to particular phrases.
Developed by Google, Google Home is a smart speaker, which is part of its "Made By Google" product line. It stands as a rival to Amazon Echo in the smart speaker business and was released on Nov. 4, 2016 for $129.
