niall Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 It was said as in "I wonder if they will support it in the future". They haven't bothered to support anything else so I bet I can answer the question already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchow Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Google has released its IFTTT channel for its Home service & Pixel service (called Google Assistant). https://ifttt.com/google_assistant As such it will be compatible with our IFTTT driver. To make it easier for people to understand how to program it i will be writing up a document over the coming days to talk about how to setup phrases (with numbers and text ingrediants) to work with Control4.

PapaSmurf74 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Looking at the triggers it appears that google home will be awesome. The flexibility is exactly what we want. No more restrictions on phrasing. We can use whatever combinations of words we choose. Multiple aliases built in! It's time to preorder a google home.

It looks like its going to shit all over Alexa for integration to the home. I'm writing up a document at the moment with examples on how to program it up in Control4. Will put this up on my webpage and blast it out via email and social media early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Any word on whether Google Home will be available outside of the US? I am guessing no, at least not initially, given Google's history for product introductions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that though the Google Assistant will work with Pixel and that is available in the US, Australia, Canada, UK and Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Pressnell Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hm. Pretty much what HomeKit was supposed to do, but Apple has failed to really get it off the ground. Still wishing for a truly integrated direct HomeKit driver for Control4.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic30101 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 i have been playing with it all day and man it works like a champ. Using it for lighting scenes, zigbee door locks, garage door, thermostats, turning rooms on and off to specific sources with the string variables in Alans how to. Definitely worth the read on his tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gix656 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Does it respond quickly to your voice commands? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turls Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 If out of the gate Home is better than C4 endorsed Alexa, this isn't good for people that bought into Alexa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
