Google initially announced it was following the footsteps of Amazon and adding multistep smart home routines last October. They allow you to take several actions (toggling lights, changing the thermostat, etc.) with a single voice command. Google gave more details last month when it teased the approaching launch of routines in the US. Today, Google Assistant\u2019s support page for the routines went live, revealing there would be six routines at first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">To access routines, go to settings in the Google Home or Google Assistant app, and you\u2019ll find them under Home Control, Music, and Shortcuts. It looks like the Good Morning routine is only one that\u2019s live right now, as spotted by Android Police, but others should be enabled very soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The first wave of routines are Good Morning, Bedtime, Leaving Home, Commuting to Work, Commuting Home, and I\u2019m Home. The commuting routines are only accessible from your phone, as you\u2019re likely to be on the go when using them. Routines are unique to each user\u2019s individual voice, so multiple members of a household can set up their own routines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The full list of available actions with routines is available on Google\u2019s routines support page. For Good Morning, the first available routine, you can take your phone off silent (if you\u2019re using Android), adjust the phone volume, fix the lights and thermostats, hear the weather, and check your commute, calendar, and reminders. Then you can play music, news, radio, or catch up with a podcast or audiobook. Some smart home integrations are not yet available with routines, so although you\u2019ll be able to turn on lights and thermostats, Logitech accessories and others won\u2019t work yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/circuitbreaker\/2018\/3\/13\/17116860\/google-assistant-multi-step-smart-home-routines-now-live<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/google-assistants-multistep-smart-home-routines-are-now-live.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Assistant&#8217;s multistep smart home routines are now live Google Assistant\u2019s routines are rolling out now.
