How to use Google Assistant to control your smart home

Google Assistant is Google’s voice assistant. At the time of launching Google Assistant was just an extension of Google Now, planned to be personal while broadening on Google’s existing “OK Google” voice controls. Initially, Google Now smartly pulled out relevant information for you. It knew your meetings and travel plans, the sports teams you liked, where you worked, and what interested you. This helped it to provide you with information that mattered to you. It has been long since Google killed Google Now. Assistant lives in the same space by merging these personalized elements with a wide range of voice control. Google Assistant supports both text or voice entry, and it will follow the conversation whichever entry method you’re using.
