I've recently ventured into making my life a little more convenient with automation via Google Home. Started with a Google Home Mini to play music and set timers without interacting with the phone. Over the course of a month, it has evolved into a more substantial setup with home routines and auto timers for devices. I control all of these via the Google Home App or over the nest minis.
- Archer C60 Router for rock-solid coverage in a small space
- 2X Google Nest Mini (Bedroom, Hall-Kitchen) - Play music, set timers, call via Duo, and control all other smart appliances
- 1X Iffalcon K31 Android TV - Play a slideshow of uploaded photos
- 2X Zunpulse Smart LED Bulb - Main lighting duties (Poor non-white colors, the brightness of whites is excellent, better than Mi Bulbs)
- 2 X Mi Smart LED Bulb - Accent lighting (Has comparatively bright non-white colors)
- 1X 6A Realme Smart switch - for Mosquito Vaporiser Machine, scheduled on and off
- 1X 16A Zunpulse Smart switch - for Water Heater for remote operation and timer functions.
Overall, the voice commands work 9 times out of 10 and the schedules are spot on. My only complaint is that I had to install 3 different apps to get these to sync to the Google Home App. Might eventually replace it with the "Smart Life - Smart Living" app from the Google Playstore.
