Google Home is available in Italy from March 27, 2018. But the question that may arise spontaneously is: how do I turn my home into a smart home with Google Home and Google Assistant? Here is the complete list of smart devices compatible with Google services.
Google Home and Google Assistant: how to use them
Google Home has a dual functionality. Through voice commands and artificial intelligence provided byvocal assistant Google Assistant, you can ask the Google smart speaker to perform complex actions on your behalf, even after all, such as:
- ask for the weather by asking "ok Google, do I need an umbrella tomorrow?"
- check the appointments with "ok Google, what are my appointments tomorrow?"
- ask to send a message to a friend saying "ok Google, send a Whastapp to Erika telling her I'll be back soon"
Obviously you can also do all this simply by "talking" with the smartphone without the need to have a Google Home or Home Mini.
The second works of Google Home is to act as a hub to connect all your smart devices. This makes your home possible become a smart home in a simple and fast way.
