Can you imagine telling Google Assistant to restart your home router or activate the guest network? Well soon it will happen since Google has added support for network devices to the wizard: we will be able to control them from Assistant again by simply asking.
Telephone talking or smart speakers aren't as popular as assisted by assistants like Google or Amazon & # 39; And suffice it to say & # 39; OK, Google, turn on Bluetooth & # 39; so that the connection works on the phone; so how can we do it control endless devices, from home alarm to router. Yes, and the router: The assistant has found compatibility with devices that provide network services. & # 39; OK Google, update the router. & # 39; And within minutes you had it in the latest version available.
Assistant extends support for home devices
Google Assistant comes with a large number of smart home devices, ranging from those to security and to those that control the lighting, for example. Televisions, alarms, speakers, smart shows, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners… The list is huge. So, since management of various routers and access points can be done remotely, why not add Google Assistant support? Saying and doing.
As Android Police has discovered, Assistant has received support for network devices and routers, as shown on the Google Assistant-related homepage page. Because of this support, too provided that the network device manufacturer has installed Assistant support, we may order actions such as the following:
- Enable or disable the WiFi network for guests.
- Displays network status information.
- Restart or refresh the router.
- Activate parental control.
- Activate the & # 39; App Quality & # 39; (QoS) for games.
The management of network devices will enhance and increase its power as manufacturers begin to use compatibility. At the moment, products like NetGear already have compatible routers. And it will surely extend to all other rivals: this way we won't have to open your app or connect to the gate manage basic options because it will be enough to ask Google Assistant.
