If you’ve plunged into the\u00a0Google Home ecosystem, you might be wondering which of the large array of smart home devices work with the Google Assistant. While Google Assistant is great at answering questions, setting timers and even playing music. It’s also really useful for controlling your smart home devices. But in order to get the most out of that home-automation capability, you need some smart home technology to control. Here are some of the best smart home gadgets that work with Google Assistant right now.<\/p>\n

goSmart Bulbs
\n<\/strong>Imagine walking into your home at night, arms overflowing with groceries. To turn on your\u00a0regular lights, you\u2019d need to search aimlessly with your elbows or your chin to find the light switch. If you\u2019re lucky, you won\u2019t trip over the kids\u2019 toys or the dog\u2019s bowl of water! If you thought you were on top of things and already installed some smart bulbs, you’d still need to put the bags down, pull out your phone, unlock it, open the app, find the control for the lights you want, and then tap the icon. With Google Home Smart Speaker with Google Assistant<\/a> from Buydig.com, you simply say, “Hey Google, turn on the kitchen lights.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dim the Lights
\n<\/strong>Instead of equipping your house with a bunch of smart bulbs, you could choose the smart switch route with something like the Lightwave dimmer. It’s a neat option for spot light rooms. It also solves the problem of lights being switched off at the wall and therefore not controllable via voice. Once you’ve added the dimmer switch into your Google Assistant setup on your Google Home Mini Home Smart Speaker<\/a> from Buydig.com, you can do a lot more, including incorporating it into the new Routines. Commands include on\/off, dimming, checking status and controlling everything in the house. Just be aware that you’ll need a smart hub for voice controls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Smart Plug<\/strong>
\nOne of the easier and cheaper ways to automate your home is by using Smart plugs. They can be inserted into standard power outlets. Then you can plug all sorts of devices into them, whether it’s a table lamp or a fan. You can then set up schedules for that device to turn on or off at specific times using the plug\u2019s app. It can also be triggered by voice using Google Home<\/a>, and gives you information about how much power is consumed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Getting Hot in Here
\n<\/strong>Too hot? Too cold? Instead of getting up to tweak the thermostat, use Google Home<\/a> to control your\u00a0Smart thermostat. You can ask the assistant what the current temperature is and what the thermostat is set to. Make it warmer or cooler by specifying a number of degrees, a specific temperature or even just saying, “Make it cooler.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Housekeeping in a Snap
\n<\/strong>No one loves vacuuming, but\u00a0robot vacuums\u00a0make the chore as easy as pushing a button. And thanks to Google Assistant integration. the\u00a0iRobot Roomba 690 and\u00a0iRobot Roomba 960\u00a0ensure that you never even have to lift that one finger. You can bark out orders to command your Wi-Fi\u2013connected robot army to start, stop, or resume cleaning. You can even ask Google to locate the little buggers.<\/p>\n

With these simple gadgets, your Google Home-based smart home will be up and running in no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
