How to Control Smart Light Switches with Google Home

Are you ready to harness the power of voice commands to control lighting with Google Home? Voice commands give users the convenience of hands-free control of lighting and power throughout the home with a simple, “Hey Google.”

For example, you can turn all lights in a room on or off using voice commands like "Hey Google, turn on/off the living room lights” – or do the same to turn on/off one specific light. You can even dim or brighten lights simply by saying, "Hey Google, dim the bedroom lights by 30 percent.”

Here’s a step-by-step guide to control your Smart Lighting with Netatmo devices using custom “Hey Google” phrases within Google Home.

Prerequisites to Control Lighting with Google Home

Google Home App: Ensure you have the latest version of the Google Home app installed on your smartphone or tablet.
Home+Control App: Install the Home+Control app and have your Legrand devices configured within it.
Legrand Account: You'll need the email address and password for your Legrand account.
Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is necessary for both the Google Home app and your Legrand devices to communicate.
