Google Home is the official Google app for customizing and organizing all the Google devices you have in your home. Thanks to this app you can manage both Google Nest and Chromecast, but also thousands of other compatible products such as smart light bulbs, security cameras, thermostats, smart plugs, and much more. Everything you need to maintain your smart home can be found here.
Google Home is very easy to configure
You'll need a Google user account to use Google Home. Once you have logged in with your email address, you can open the app and start adding your devices. Note that although the app will ask you to add at least one device the first time you set it up, this is not actually necessary. You can add as many devices as you want later, using any of the three typical methods: scanning the Matter logo, using the "Seamless Setup", or searching the list of products labeled "Works With Google Home".
Add favorites and personalize your home
One of Google Home's most useful tools is the option to add devices to your Favorites list. Thanks to this list you can have the devices you use the most closer at hand. This option is particularly useful to help you quickly manage speakers, light bulbs, cameras and other commonly used devices. Why? Because if they are in this list you can see them instantly, as soon as you open the app. As a result, you can turn a light bulb or a speaker on and off with a single tap.
Establish routines and automations
Google Home allows you to create routines and automations for your home based on your own habits. Setting up these automations is very easy. Just create an activation word or phrase for your Google Assistant. When the assistant recognizes this voice command, it will trigger a series of actions. These can be as varied as playing soothing sounds when you go to sleep or turning off the thermostat when you leave the house. You decide how you want to automate your home.
Control your home from the comfort of your Android device
Download the Google Home APK and control your home from anywhere, anytime. You can turn the lights on and off while you are on vacation, turn on the air conditioning before you get home, or receive alerts when your surveillance camera picks up some movement. And you can manage all this with the utmost convenience, with just a single tap.
