The Google Home app allows users to easily control their smart home devices and rooms by tapping the three dots in the top right-hand corner. To set up a Google Nest or Home speaker or display, users can use the app’s “edit Home View” feature. The app has a new layout that allows for easy control of smart devices compatible with Google Assistant, such as speakers, displays, thermostats, sensors, lights, and plugs.
To personalize your experience, users can use their Google Account home and work addresses. To create a new home or select an existing one, users can tap on the cog icon in the top-right corner and tap on Home. They can then move the device to the desired room or scroll.
To add or remove devices, users can tap the Favorites section in the Google Home app and select actions, automation, and devices they want on the Favorites page. Users can also edit their address settings in their Google Account and change home and work locations.
To customize Google Home settings (and Google Assistant settings), users can download the Google Home app onto their Android or iOS device, sign in with their Google Account, and plug in their devices. The app’s layout changes every single time when users open the “Google Home” app on iOS, with items missing, items not missing, and icon styles different.
In summary, the Google Home app is a convenient tool for managing and controlling smart home devices and rooms. Users can customize settings, manage devices, and access various options for all devices.

Only invite your spouse. No one else needs access to your home. If they want to use something, they can ask Google through one of the mic enabled devices. Many times friends or family can be with another sketchy person that uses their phone, and God only knows what they do on there, including potentially accessing your home.
Couple things 1. I think I’m a part of the public preview but when I go to settings I do not see rooms and groups. I was so excited for a few seconds. Any thoughts? Is this a super public preview you have or I don’t have it because my part of a public preview? 2. As you know with SmartThings you get duplicate devices. You move those over to another home. When you delete a home, do those duplicate devices just disappear which would be great?
I have a pair of Cync smart light bulbs I want to add to Google Home so I can turn them on and off with my voice, but when I try to add them under “Works with Google Home” after linking my accounts together, it says, “No compatible devices were found in your Cync (C by GE) account”. I already have them set up with my Cync account and can control them using the Cync app, so I don’t know what the problem is. What should I do?
Hi Brad, I’ve been having some issues with connecting my Google Home and other smart devices to my Home Network. First off, the Google Home Assistance often just says “can’t connect to the network and to check the connection tab in my Google App”, but I can’t locate a connection tab in the app. The situation that has caused this problem, was having to change/upgrade my Wi-Fi Router. In the past, rather than having to change every Device’s Wi-Fi setup, I would just rename the SSID and Password of the new Router, to be the same as the earlier Router. In the past, this has always worked without any issues, but this time, some devices connect to the new Router, while others stay offline. Is there any way of checking what SSID the devise should be working off, as well as any way of doing a batch update? Any advice you could give on this issue would be appreciated. 😊
The thing I don’t like about the Google Home app on the iPad is that the lights are grouped together in one pill-shaped icon per room. So if you tap on the pill-shaped icon thinking you will open it to show all the lights you will accidentally turn off all the lights in that room instead. You have to train yourself to long press on the pill-shaped icon to open it to show all the lights in order to avoid this accident every single time.
Thanks for the great article. It appears that Google has made some great improvements and is now probably better than Alexa, especially with respect to linking to other vendor products. Alexa skills tended to be very hit and miss in this area. Another thing the article caused me to think about, is why all fuss about smart home hubs which require very skilled people to set them up. Google Home seems to be all I need to build a smart home. What is your take on the issue of hubs?
Hello, Thank you very much for your effort to explain google home application sir.
