This is a short review of Google Home for use in Home Automation and music. This video contains a short comparison of the Google Home vs Amazon Echo. Google Home is well-built and works very well for asking questions and appears more conversational than The Amazon Echo and New Echo Dot. Right now it works with Nest, Philips Hue, SmartThings, and IFTTT. Obviously, this list will grow as time goes. In my testing, it works very well with SmartThings and Nest. You can speak to Google Home naturally instead of being forced to speak robotically like speaking to Alexa. The speaker sounds good but it does not get as loud as the Amazon Echo and seems to lack a little bit of the detail that the larger Amazon Echo has. Overall, if you’re considering which one will be better for advanced Home Automation, the Echo would be a better fit at the moment. However, for everything else Google Home works better and will likely support just as many devices as the Amazon Echo as it matures.

By far the best review I’ve seen. I’ve been researching this thing like crazy. Thanks! I think I’ll buy it.
Great video. And no, phones didn’t go off with “hey google” but my google homes did, lol
Hi, I live in Mexico, so am I able to make all those things work? first thing I noticed is that in the minute 39 of this video you are showing the google home screen and in there I see google assistant and below it show “things to ask”, “music”, “home control” etc. But if I go to same place in my phone I do not have the google assistant options, it only show “devices”. Do I have to do something to add the google assistant to the google home ??
great video!
I bought the G Home when it came out. My son bought me the Wink hub and outlet. From what I can tell….it won’t work together. Do you think it will in the future….or should I just return it and go with Smart things?
Excellent video. Thanks!
Best review of the Echo and Google Home I could find on Youtube. Great Job!!!
Hey i have questions how to connect my Google home to my samsung ks8000 on cec
Those are some great JBLs I have the 305s and the 308s, and the matching sub….great sound at a great price!!
Please detail a setup demo between Google home and Alexa and smartthings..
Just watched a few of your videos. They are very informative and I love how you show examples and describe how things are set up. You’ve earned a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.
Really good video. But if how can i do it with the fireplace please help thank
Google Home = BEAST
can I order through Google home. for example ordering pizza or Chinese food, clothes, house hold goods. can I set reminders for doctors appointments or special dates. set daily alarm for work. dial numbers or call 911 if needed.
Can you have google do something if your not home over the phone or an app? Like close garage door or adjust temp?
Can you explain more on the Honeywell alarm system integration? I have the same security system and would like to automate
Nice video. You may also want to checkout the review of home automation on my blog at *dennisreviews. com/home-automation-review/* Thanks, Skipper.
Nice Video thank you
i’m just getting into the home automation game and your vids have been the most helpful by far. thank you!
google needs to put aux out or optical output.
Great video M. The only thing that I’ve observed during my research is that it uses proprietary technology. What I mean is that you can it doesn’t support Bluetooth out (to bluetooth speakers). You have to use speakers that support Chromecast.
Do you still need the smartthings hub or does it connect directly to the smartthings devices?
daaamn majestic you’ve done it again great review 🙂
Use Chromecast audio for the aux part.
Can you describe how you did the garage relay in more detail, please?
If I can afford both should I and could I use both Echo and Google Home? Do you use both?
has google said when we can expect upgrades such as memos, appts and to do’s??? Also, would love to know when a physical updated module will come out, as I’d hate to buy this one, and then an updated one came out like a month later. good review.
Google home doesn’t need an aux cord it uses the chrome cast audio in place of that #bestbuyblueshirt #connectedhomespecialist
You have to use speakers that support Chromecast
this is a great review I am glad I found your channel new sub here yes for team Google home
great review bro
I just bought a Google Home and have a 5.1 Sonos system set up, would Google home voice commands control my sonos system if i connected my sonos to a Samsung smartthings Hub?
This was an excellent review. I’m really surprised more people don’t know about you. Keep up the good work man!
