How Do A House FULL of Google Homes Interact? My Experiences

Smart home setups are looking to be the future of tech, with so many companies pushing their platforms. But, the google home has been around for a while, and my whole house has these little FBI listening devices everywhere, but how do all they all interact, is there some cohesion, and is it worth it. Let’s find out with a little review. In my household, there are 5 google home minis spread throughout the house, one in the master bedroom downstairs, two in bedrooms upstairs, one in the game room, and one in the living room. They’re all segregated and have their own little domain. Each one works perfectly fine on their own. However, where it really shines is how actually smart they are together. I know right, a smart assistant being smart? Unbelievable. Impossible. Absolutely unheard of. For example, normally I say “turn off living room lights” when I want to turn off the lights in the living room, but when I’m in the living room, just saying “turn off the lights” the google home in the living room turns off the lights ONLY in the living room and nowhere else. I love how “room aware” it is. Another interesting feature of having multiple google homes is the ability to broadcast, like you’re making a PA announcement across your entire house. This is useful you need to yell at someone in an isolated room or to gather people together. You can even set up multiple google homes as a “speaker group” which lets you use them as a nice multi-room sound system. What I noticed is that when you ask the home a question or give a demand, all the speakers that hear you light up, but only the one that you were closest, or the one that picked up the loudest volume, answers back instead of every single google home in your house going off at once. There’s probably a lot more of interesting “group” based commands but, you know these things are getting smarter every day and I’ve probably just seen the smallest little tip of it. There are however, some negatives to this whole setup, all the google home devices need to be properly setup on one account, and each one needs to be properly labeled, and each smart device connected to the google home has to be properly labeled as well. Leading to a huge headache if you’re not organized. For example. If I had a “Jimmy’s” bedroom labeled google home, but the lights in my room were named “Big idiot’s Room” it wouldn’t work and the home wouldn’t draw the connection that I’m the big idiot. Next, sometimes, when you’re talking to a specific google home, a different one will think you are talking to it, despite the fact that you’ve been staring at the one you’re talking to. How rude of home #3 to interrupt my conversation with home #1. Get manners bro. Lastly, although I mentioned you can broadcast a message across all the rooms in the house using the broadcast command, that’s all it can do. It speaks to the entire house, you can’t make it send a message to only a specific google home. Which means no secret walkie talkie messages at night while someone else is trying to sleep. Overall, I think one google home was already a smart device giving you interesting feature set combined with basically, a Bluetooth speaker, but with multiple devices, the google assistant platform grows to be something even more amazing and opens up new options that wasn’t available before. Like I said, smart assistants are still growing, and I can’t wait to see what other new features are implemented. While at one point, I was kind of hesitant of the value of a smart home assistant they’re growing on me, and it’s pretty cool and pretty interesting. So, in my opinion, multiple google homes only makes them even more worth it.
