Ok Google I have a headache
Let me dim the lights
Thanks that would help
In this video I am going to go over my ultimate home automation system, Everything I did to
make my house a smart home tour. In this corner I am going to put everything you need to have
to duplicate the command that I just gave including the apps and the products. Below
this video there will be links to every single product that I have listed in this video.
Ok Google Set living room lights brightness to 20 percent. You got it setting six lights
brightness to 20 percent.
To control your lights you can use smart light bulbs or smart dimmer switches.
Ok google set living room lights brightness to one hundred percent.
Smart Bulbs tend to do more tricks and smart switches tend to be more practical
Ok Google set living room lights to daylight.
This changes the light color to a more cool tone.
Ok Google set living room lights to moon light.
If you pay attention real closely here the lights here get more yellow.
Ok Google Turn off living room lights.
For this command you need a smart bulb and can't do this with just a switch.
Ok Google turn on downstairs lights. I'll turn them on.
Here I use the stringify app so one command cascades to a bunch of operations. In this
case it turns on a lot of different lights.
Ok Google Turn off kitchen lights. You got it.
My Kitchen lights are all on a smart dimmer switch not smart bulbs
Ok Google set living room light 2 to on.
My living room lights are smart bulbs and not smart dimmer switches.
Ok Google Turn off Fireplace.
This is one of my favorite tricks.
Ok Google turn on the fireplace.
And it took finding the right switch to make this fireplace work.
Ok Google Close the garage Door. Gotcha
Now let's fast forward. Most current garage doors can be modified with a product I have
listed below. This device does not require a hub but runs on its own app.
Ok Google Lock the front door.
I have it set up so my voice can only lock the door. Otherwise breaking in would only
take yelling into my home to unlock it.
Ok Google turn on the entry lamp.
Some people use motion sensors for stuff like this. There are just too many exceptions so
it always turns on when I don't want it too.
Ok Google tell pet net to feed my dogs one half cup. Okay I am feeding C O R B E L L
E one half cup
Normally I have the feeder set up on a timer but sometimes I like to use the voice as well.
Ok Google set downstairs thermostat to cool.
There are better thermostats than this but this one came with my home and voids the warranty
if I change the thermostat.
Ok Google set the downstairs thermostat to 80 degrees. Sure setting the downstairs thermostat
to 80 degrees.
I had to fast forward the corner screen you see here so its not actually in real time.
I will link to better ones below.
Alexa tell Deebot to start Cleaning.
Smart Vacuums take a bit to get used to but we love the daily clean
Okay now your deebot is cleaning.
Alexa tell deebot to stop cleaning. Ok your deebot has stopped.
Alexa tell Deebot to return to charging.
This takes a minute so I'll Fast Forward but deebot always returns.
Okay now your deebot is charging. Here I used Alexa. I love Alexa for certain things like
speakers. However, Deebot will soon be completely compatible with Google Home.
Ok Google Turn on the TV. On it
If you don't have a current Smart TV you need a specific Hub to do this command
And this following command right here is why I mainly use Google Home.
Ok Google Play E.S.P.N. On master tv. Alright Playing E.S.P.N. From YouTube TV on Master
TV.
I am able to Navigate and Channel Surf with my Voice on YouTube TV. I cant do that with
Alexa yet.
Ok Google Rewind thirty minutes.
I like the voice controlled rewind and fast forward feature better than tv remotes.
Ok Google set master TV volume to 70 percent.
Ok Google watch ABC on Master TV.
I can surf by saying the channel or by saying what exactly I want to watch
Ok Google watch the warriors basketball game. Sure
Obviously this makes me very happy. No more trying to find the channel a program is on
just say the name of the program.
Ok Google turn on Stranger things on Netflix on master TV. Alright stranger things from
Netflix playing on master TV.
You can even tell it a certain season or episode to play
Ok Google I have headache. Let me dim the lights.
I use IFTTT app here for the unique request that I gave and then stringify dims, turns
off, and yellows the lights optimal for when I have a migraine.
Ok Google Set the Mood. Ooo La La
-Once again IFTTT sets the unique response and then stringify turns on the lights and
starts the fireplace if it isn't already on like it was here.
Ok Google Play have you ever really loved a woman on spotify. On Master. Would you like
that to play on master TV. Yes. Alright have you ever really loved a woman from spotify
playing on
You can also get smart speakers or Alexa and Google home have really good sound too.
Ok Google We're leaving. See you later
-Once again IFTTT sets the response then I have stringify set a timer to give enough
time to leave through the front door then the front door locks and everything turns
off behind me. In case I leave in a care I don't have it close the garage door. The possibilities
are endless But you can make it do what makes sense for you.
For example I have a set up so my Specific Doorbell Camera Turns on the porch light when
it senses movement but only during nighttime. But you can have it turn on an entry way light
or play a welcome song or whatever you want.
Ok google time for bed. You Rest I will turn everything off.
The last thing I want to do in life is lock the door and turn everything off when I am
tired so this is my favorite command. Alone this is worth it. All the products are linked
to below this video and I will answer your personal home automation questions below.
