What is Google Home?

Connected Speakers and Displays (Physical Devices)

Connected speakers and displays, such as those in the Google Nest range (e.g., Nest Mini, Nest Hub), are devices installed in your home with a microphone and speaker for voice interaction. They make it easy to quickly access various information and services.

Thanks to the Google Assistant artificial intelligence, they understand your commands, answer your questions, control other devices, and help organize your schedule, becoming true smart personal assistants.

The Mobile App (The Control Center)

This free app is easy to install on Android or iPhone. It provides an interface to manage all your connected devices from one place.

It acts like a "universal remote control" for your smart home, centralizing control of your bulbs, plugs, Enki system, and cameras. You can organize devices by room (living room, kitchen, bedroom) for simplified management.

What is it used for daily?

Activate the voice assistant with “Ok Google” or “Hey Google” to ask questions, check the weather, set an alarm, listen to music, or control your connected Enki devices.

• Home Automation: Control your connected devices: “Ok Google, turn on the fan,” “turn off the light,” “close the blinds.”
• Real-Time Information: Ask specific questions: “What’s the weather like?”, “How long is the commute to work?”, “Translate ‘hello’ into Japanese.”
• Organization: Start a timer, add an item to the shopping list, or set a reminder.
• Music and Videos: “Play jazz on Spotify” or “Start Stranger Things on Netflix” (with screen or Chromecast).

The Enki service, associated with Google Home, connects your home automation box and compatible devices to Google’s voice assistant. These services act like apps for your assistant. After linking accounts, your Enki devices and scenarios automatically sync with Google Home for simplified management.

Control your devices by voice commands with “Ok Google” or “Hey Google”, or via the Google Home app. With Enki enabled, you no longer need a smartphone to control your devices:

• Lighting: “Ok Google, turn on the living room light”, “Hey Google, set the bedroom bulb to 50%”, “Ok Google, change the color to blue”.

• Openings: “Hey Google, close the roller shutters”.

• Plugs and Devices: “Ok Google, turn on the fan” (on a connected plug).
