What functions does a smart device have?

A smart home can have many different functions. For example, it is possible to control the lights of your home from a distance. Are you cold and don't want to walk to the thermostat? Then turn up the heating while sitting on the sofa or in bed. Do you like to listen to music while cooking? Turn it on via voice control. It is also easy to secure your home with, for example, cameras or smart doorbells. With the smart devices, everything in the house is seamlessly connected.

Control from a distance

You experience the ultimate convenience when you can control devices from a distance. Want to know which devices you need for this? We will tell you.

Everyone has probably heard of the voice control programs Alexa from Amazon and Siri from Apple. In 2016, Google also launched its own voice assistant called: Google Assistant.

Google Assistant supports voice commands, voice-activated search and voice-activated device control. The program is activated after saying "Hey Google". There are several devices that are supported by Google Assistant such as Google Nest and Chrome.

The Google Nest mini is a smart speaker with built-in voice control. Through Google Nest Mini, you can perform searches, control lights and thermostats, control music, make appointments, send messages, make calls, access apps and much more from a distance. 

The Google Nest Hub is the central point of your smart home.
