4 tips to get everything out of your Google Home
Get started with Google Home
The Google Home ecosystem consists of many products. In this article, we'll tell you how those products work together, so you can use your Google Home:
- As a baby monitor
- As a speaker
- As an alarm clock
- As an intercom
How to use your Google Home as a baby monitor
Connect a Nest Cam to a Nest Hub and you already have a working baby monitor. The camera can give a notification when it detects sound. This way, you'll know something is up with your baby. You can reassure your baby right away, thanks to the microphone in your Nest Hub.
How to use your Google Home as a speaker
You can use all Google Nest hubs as a speaker. Nest Audios have the best sound quality out of all the Nest speakers. You can connect all speakers to each other to hear the same music in the entire house. You can also set which speaker is placed left and right in the room. This way, you'll create a stereo sound you can control with voice command everywhere in your home.
How to use your Google Home as an alarm clock
The Google Nest Hub is perfect as an alarm clock. When you swipe left on the home screen, you can set an alarm. Here you can choose an alarm signal, the time you want to wake up, and the time the alarm starts. If you want to be awake at 7, the alarm clock softly starts half an hour before. The Hub screen will slowly get brighter, so you can wake up calmly. You can connect a smart light to the hub, then that light will also turn on when you want to wake up.
How to use your Google Home as an intercom
Don't hear the doorbell sometimes? Google Home will help you with this. If you connect a Nest Doorbell to your Nest speaker, you'll hear the ringtone from all your Google speakers. That way, you'll clearly hear the doorbell from everywhere in your home. You can also see who's in front of the door, thanks to the screen of your Nest Hub.
