What's the average time between finishing your command and it being executed? Anyone know if Google Home works in Canada? From the tutorial Alan created, it looks like you can say specific commands like "OK Google, lock the front door" instead of the Alexa "Alexa, turn front door lock on". Which will be awesome! Is there a way to use a custom wake command? One of my clients really wants voice control but wants "Jarvis" to be the wake command. it is fast. a lot faster than i expected. and the accuracy is very good. I have the "turn on chromecast one in the $" in IFTTT working great, working on adding the rest of the sources now that i have tested it since it takes a bit using string variables for each source so there are less IFTTT scenarios to build https://www.dropbox.com/s/qzg1j9ip6jlqlkq/20161113_111043.mp4?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin is near enough a Google/Android fan, not to mention quite well versed in 'technology' that I have to sincerely doubt it's that simple. If I had to guess - it may all be possible to 'make work', but it shouldn't have to be 'made to work'. My brief experience in a demo made me decide to not even bother getting them - at least at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Is it possible to use this on an iPhone? From what I can tell, it looks like it is not. Just figured I'd double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Well, I have an app on my phone called "Google Home", so I assumed (apparently wrongfully) that I could interact with the cloud aspect of things using my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smarch Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Just need to clarify. There is an Google Home app, that I use. I say "ok google" to it and it responds with the answer, similar to the way the physical hardware does. So I can't use this with the cloud aspect and control4 with the proper driver?

forum Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Google has always historically kept a line drawn between Free and Enterprise. I too get disappointed because my GSuite account doesn't get all the latest features as soon as released. The simple solution is just create a gmail account for your personal and home stuff.

If all of my emails and events are on my google apps account then simply creating a gmail account does nothing. It makes the google home do half the stuff it is supposed to do. The entire point is to be able to add things to my keep account, hear emails and calendar appointments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I'm talking about the device that goes by the name of "Google Home". Gsuite or Google apps is primarily for business as is stated directly at the top of the home page for this service. This was my point of "Google Home" the device not working with Gsuite which is a business service and not a "home" service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
