Also, if IFTTT fails to execute the action for whatever reason, Google has no way of knowing (and often IFTTT doesn't, either), and won't tell you the command didn't actually work. So you can already access a few built-in Routines that are ready without any input needed but you can create entirely new routines that do exactly what you want when you request. In Home, tap the device that you want to adjust. Not only does it adjust for the lighting conditions, but you can also personalize what your Home Hub shows in Ambient Mode. That includes linking to your Google Photos, you can show art from around the world or even just a simple clock face.
For example, I created a Routine called "rain" that sets my Nest Hub to a certain volume before playing rain sounds. To activate it, all I have to say is "Hey Google, rain." You probably already know that you can watch YouTube on the Nest Hub, but what about other content?
Yale Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi review: Future-proofing your home security
Thread is the latest technology for keeping all your smart home devices connected. Nest Hub Max and Nest Hub have a built-in Thread border router to connect your Thread mesh network of smart devices to your Wi-Fi network. Your Thread-enabled network will be faster, use less energy, and reach more places throughout and around your home. From the top of the screen, swipe down to open the Quick settings menu, then tap AlarmsSettings.
Night mode is very similar but not quite the same as Downtime, in that it allows you to still use your Google Home Hub or Google Home devices but with fewer distractions and a lower volume. Your phone or tablet is connected to thesame Wi-Fi networkas your audio devices. Your phone or tablet needs to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Google Home in order to set up or manage guest mode settings. Matter is the new universal standard that simplifies smart home compatibility. It connects and controls all your Matter devices so your smart home is easier to build, faster to set up, and more responsive and reliable. With Nest Hub Max and Nest Hub , all your Matter devices will work seamlessly with Google Home.
Google Voice can now jump between cellular and Wi-Fi during a call
Lastly, we can turn off recommendations entirely. To get notifications on Smart Displays and speakers, “Personal results” have to be enabled. This setting lets Assistant show your photos, email, calendar, contacts, reminders, and YouTube recommendations, as well as make verbal payments. On devices with screens, those items can also appear on the homescreen as cards. If you want to play audio content on your Nest Hub from another phone or smart home device that doesn't have Google Chromecast, there's an easy workaround. The Nest Hub can act as a Bluetooth speaker, allowing you to stream audio from any device that supports the Bluetooth protocol.
This will prevent Sleep Sensing from activating when you are in your sleep spot. Sleep Sensing must be set up and calibrated to pause Sleep Sensing on your display. I haven’t found anything out of the box that would do this, so assume I will have to develop that myself.
What are the options to customize Google Home settings?
That said, I think the audio on the Home Hub is pretty darn good for such a small speaker. The hub is much faster to turn the lights on and off then my phone. That's why I keep it and we love all the pictures of my 5 year old on it. My son also loves playing trivia on it since it actually keeps a visual score . On Nest Hub displays, you can quickly pause and unpause Sleep Sensing.
You can customize the look and feel of your action for Google Home Hub and Nest hub using Interactive Canvas. With Interactive Canvas you show a webpage that can handle user input from the Google Assistant devices and changes depending on the input on Google Assistant devices with screens. Google Assistant Routines are as close as you can get to automation on the Nest Hub. Once you create a Routine and give it a command phrase, saying the activation phrase will start any actions contained in the Routine.
How to customize My Day for Google Home?
Select the arrow next to the device you wish to unpair. Making statements based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience. But there have been no updates on the topic since 2018. It looks like there is no widget support and also no information if this will be added in the near future.
As mentioned, you can customize Google Home news feed. And any changes would affect all Google Home devices. Under device type level settings (marked as 9-16 in the screenshot below), you can change Google Assistant settings for all Google Home devices. Your guests can use certain features of Google Home, e.g., casting audio to Google Home, if guest mode is enabled in Google Home. As shown above, you can tap the menu button , then tap Settings to access Google Home settings.
Select 'turn off screen,' and your Nest Hub will never bother you again in the dark with its screen glow—that is, unless you say "Ok Google." You can also select a default option on the same screen where you linked your account. If a default option is selected, you will not be required to state the service’s name. Once you’ve linked these accounts you can control them all from your Google Home-connected devices. Any audio device can be linked, which includes the Chromecast Audio devices and Chromecast built-in speakers. The most difficult part is probably just knowing that it exists.
At the top-right of the Home screen, tap Devices. Tap the device that you want to link to your voice. This is a pretty neat option if, for instance, you don’t want people to be able to control specific speakers in your home i.e. an Office or maybe in the Kitchen for instance. When you do that, only your voice will prompt the Assistant to respond. Many Google devices will be automatically updated to support Matter.
You can get a pretty personalized look, and this really is a killer feature for smart displays in general. Having access to these settings without the need for voice is a good thing, especially if your hub is in a spot where accessing the physical volume buttons is inconvenient. It would just be nice if the introduction video mentioned that the screen settings menu exists.
