Be sure your smartphone is connected to your home Wi-Fi, as this is how the Google Home will be able to access your network information. When you are logged in, open up your Google Home app and give it a moment to get its bearings. If you do not see the notification, select the plus sign on the Home screen and choose Set Up Device to give the app a kick-start. A series of numbers will show up on the screen of both your Hub and on your phone, and these numbers should match. Choose which room the device will be in, and you are ready to connect.
If necessary, you may also be asked to input your physical address for the device if you have not already done so. Google Home will now ask you about several different connections you can make on your devices to ensure it works with your current services. Voice Match: Voice match can recognize your voice and distinguish it from several other voices. This is a great feature if multiple people in the home will be using the Google device and have their own Google accounts.
However, it does mean that Google will be collecting additional information about you, so some people may want to pass. Video services: If you have a Google device that has a display, like the Nest Hub , you should also connect any video services you have. Google Duo: Some Google devices can make phone calls or video calls. Home will ask if you want to set this service up via Google Duo. Google Photos: If you have a device with a display, Home will ask you if you want to connect your Google Photos account so it can show slideshows of your photos.
Other customization options are also available. When finished, Google will give you a chance to review all your choices, and then offer a tutorial that shows you general information about how the device works. To fully personalize your Google Home device, tap the menu button on the left-hand side of the app, then tap Account Preferences.

Complete Google sign-in if you skipped step 2 to install Google Home. I am sure that you have a few things in mind when it comes to managing your Google Home device, but you never thought about the advantages of using it on your Windows 7, 8 or 10 OS!
I have to tell them to go setup an account on their own and then add them later. That is not a friendly experience. I can only see one camera at a time. In Nest, I could see them on a single page and then choose one to get a full page view. And finally, the color scheme is much more stark and less pleasing.
This app is in every way worse than what I had with Nest. It works. But from a user experience standpoint, it is a huge disappointment. Home mostly works but it still has lots of bugs. It stops playing streams at least once or twice a day. It looses connection to the internet. When I place a phone call, it thinks it is the first time I have used it, and reads me a boring script. It is difficult to manage notifications.
A Reminder is easy to miss because it does not include an alarm sound. Although Google has access to my every word, they never seem to push software updates. It drives me crazy that it is not user configurable. If you start a stream on one speaker, there is no way to add a new speaker when you move to a new room. There is no way to group lights and or speaker into a scene, So you have to turn them on one at a time or turn on all lights in a room. There are still limits to wireless switch and bulb configurations on the market.
There is no two gang switch yet. All wireless outlet units stick out of the wall and make the plug hit furniture, etc. The following data may be collected and linked to your identity:.
