Almost a year ago Google Assistant debuted an important feature for the house. Launch of Family Bell, new family alarms to announce upcoming activities on smart home devices, but until now this feature was only available in English.
After all these months of waiting, the new family notice Google Assistant are now available in Spanish. You can now schedule a home time to announce breakfast, playtime, reading, or rest, to name just a few. Then we tell you how to set these new custom prompts on your speakers and smart displays.
Family Notice
To schedule the new custom notifications we need to open the app Google home, click on our profile picture then on Google Assistant settings. There we will see the new option Family Notice.
In this new window we see that we can create a review from scratch by clicking on Add an alarm or configure one of the default alarms that we will find below.
For each alarm we have to write the text of the announcement and configure the days of the week and time we want it to sound. We must also select speakers and screens we want family advertising to run.
When the time comes, the text of this family alarm will be played on the selected speakers and will be displayed with an alarm tone that will last for a few seconds. Default alarms all have a custom alarm. For example, a lullaby will sound on the sleep alarm.
We can deactivate the alarms at any time, in addition to being able to modify or delete them completely by clicking on the alarm or the display icon.
It also allows us to temporarily turn off family alarms in case we want to rest or if we are away from home for several days. To do this, simply go to the section “Pause prompts when you want to take a break” and click on ‘start’. There we select the dates and alarms to silence and they will not ring again until the day after the last date.
