Google Home
Manage all Google Assistant-compatible smart home gadgets through a single platform, including devices from brands like Xiaomi, Sonoff, Broadlink, TP-Link, and more. It's an Android alternative to Apple's HomeKit.
The updated Google Home mobile app allows you to control all Google Assistant-enabled smart home devices in one place, even from different manufacturers.
The Google Home mobile application is available for both Android and iOS. You can, for example, set up your smart home on Android and let your housemates control your home on iOS if they have an iPhone or iPad.
Before the October update, the Google Home app was only used to link smart home devices to Google Assistant. You couldn't even just turn your device on and off in the app - only by voice through Assistant, and so far only in English. But now we can control all the smart devices connected to the Assistant directly in the Google Home app - just like Apple has done with HomeKit in the Home app on iOS.
The Google Home app primarily controls Google's own devices:
- Google Mini smart and Google Home speakers
- Chromecast TV set-top box and TVs with built-in Chromecast
- Google Home Hub and other smart displays with Google Assistant
In addition to controlling Google's own devices, the Google Home app lets you add and manage thousands of different smart home devices from hundreds of third-party manufacturers: the Yeelight, Broadlink, Xiaomi Mi Home,Sonoff eWeLink, TP-Link Kasa and many others.
Once added to the Home app, you have the ability to control your smart device not only from the Google mobile app, but also by voice through Google Assistant or through the Google Home smart speaker.
