So, when I use google assistant to control light of my home by saying Ok google, turn the light ON or OFF. Then IFTTT interpret the message and can send it to Adafruit’s dashboard as a understandable command to the created feed. To make a connection between the Adafruit IO and google assistant for voice control, we need a platform called, IFTTT . As discussed earlier, this platform allows countless platforms and different services to trigger actions or control signals to manipulate other services. Or you could create a bedtime routine that dims the lights and plays soothing music to help you relax before sleep. If you’re looking for a convenient way to control all of your smart devices in one place, then Google Home is definitely worth considering.

Once this is done, they can link their compatible smart devices to their Google account. To issue commands, users simply need to say “Ok Google” followed by a command such as “turn on the lights” or “set the temperature to 72 degrees”. In addition to controlling individual devices, users can also create routines which allow them to control multiple devices with a single command.

However, you can choose to write any phrases you like, something “switch on light one” or “switch on bedroom light“. Write what you will want google assistant to say when you command it with a trigger ( I chose “Ok boss turning on relay one” ). Arduino serial monitor connected to adafruit ioNow, open your adafruit dashboard and flip the toggle switch on and off while watching your serial monitor. You should see “Relay1 to Relay4” toggling from 0 to 1 in response to a switch state change on the adafruit dashboard. The code is pretty forward, with few modifications you will be able to control your appliance with google voice assistant app from your android phone.

How to Control Lights With Google Home

1 text for button and then click on create. This will create toggle button on your dashboard which can be used to control things remotely. This dashboard is a user interface to control things remotely.

In this IoT project, I have shown how to control home appliances from Google Assistant by connecting the Google Assistant with Blynk App using the IFTTT. With this IoT based project, we can control the relay module from the smartphone using Blynk or Google Assistant. Here, I used NodeMCU to read data from Adafruit server and act accordingly. 60 W bulb connected to NodeMCU via relay for controlling it voice command using google assistant. That’s it for this article, but as we said, Google will be adding support for a wider selection of devices in due time. The smart home possibilities, at least when it comes to controlling your home with voice commands, are endless.

Oven Status “Hey Google...”

Thus, I have created 4 applets to control 2-channel relay module from google assistant. You can create multiple applets as per the requirement. What does it take to start your day with a cup of delicious coffee and preheated oven for your croissants?

Now, select “Say a simple phrase” as a specific trigger. For more detailed instructions on how to use voice commands to control your Philips Hue lights, check out this support article from Philips. Now you know how to control lights with Google Home using theGoogle Home app andtheGoogle Assistant. Google Home support is available on select Whirlpool® smart appliances when set to Remote Enable.

In some cases, if you are unable to connect to the assistant, you can also use the Google messaging app which includes the Google Assistant. That’s it, you have a complete IFTTT applet linked to both Google Assistant and Adafruit IO. Now, in your IFTTT platform, you should now see two applets. One for turning on and the other for turning off. You will be prompted with a new list of fields to fill in. This includes variations of the trigger phrase and the Google Assistant’s response as well as the language.

If the NodeMCU is connected with the WiFi, then you can control the home appliances from Google Home App and also from the manual switches. Don’t have the money to outfit your entire home with smart technology? Want to turn that vintage lamp you absolutely adore into a connected, smart device?
