So here's my honest take on Google Home. I've tried a bunch of smart home apps and this one's up there with the best. The dashboards make it super easy to see what's going on, and the voice controls are a game-changer. Not gonna lie though, the camera features can be a bit buggy sometimes. But overall it's a pretty polished app that works well.

Description

Been using Google Home for a couple months now. It’s basically a smart home app that lets you control all your connected devices from one place. Pretty solid if you’re into home automation and voice commands.

Here’s what you do: you can see the status of all your smart lights, thermostats, cameras and more in one dashboard. There’s also a pretty cool feature where you can use voice commands to control your devices – just say what you want and Google Home will do it. Took me a while to figure that out but it’s super useful.

Look, if you’ve got a bunch of smart home gadgets, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the camera live view can be a little glitchy sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want an easy way to manage your connected home.

I used "sync all devices" but it doesn't really do anything. I can't delete individual instances that are dead or not connected. Extremely frustrating! Plus, when I tap on the...

This app is actually horrible now. I have constantly been having issues with my Roku Smart Bulb LE, but they used to go away after a few minutes to hours....
