Google Assistant launched with help for a handful of apps and providers, however the quantity has quickly expanded since then. Today, there are just a few new markers of smart home devices which are a part of the Assistant household. You can now use Assistant to regulate devices from iHome, Leviton, Emberlight, and Artik Cloud.

You doubtless do not know what all these firms do—there are roughly a billion smart home startups now. Emberlight appears like a maker of smart gentle bulbs, but it surely really makes smart gentle bulb sockets to show present lights into smart ones. iHome makes a variety of issues, however on this case it is the smart plugs which have Assistant help. Leviton in the meantime makes a variety of smart switches and shops. Then there’s Artik Cloud, which is a Samsung-owned on-line IoT platform that connects many devices like Hue, WeMo, Kevo, and many extra. In this case, it is solely Legrand smart hubs which are supported.

You can mess around with all these now by linking your account within the Home app.
