I have just had Control 4 installed in my house so I'm new to Control 4. The system seems great but I also have a number of Google Home devices and would like to integrate the use of Google Home with my C4. My installer tells me that he will need to program each and every Google Home device. If I want to add a device, such as another Home Mini, he will need to come out and install it. Is this correct? He also tells me that he will need to set up specific wordings and phrases for every control that I want Google Home to pass to Control 4 ie lots of programming time. Is this correct?
He has mentioned that Alexa is better for integration with Control 4 because you set up Control 4 for Alexa and then you can add and remove as many devices as you wish without having to get them to come out each time to reprogram the system.
Using Composer Home, can I do all of this myself without having to rely on the installer for everything?
