SmartThings + Google Home and Weave Cloud Platform for a smart home that’s more secure, efficient, and delightful

Steadily and surely, Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are enabling more sophisticated voice control, so that users can interact with devices in a more natural and conversational way.

Google Home.

For instance, Google Home is a new voice activated speaker, designed for hands-free help from the Google Assistant to get answers from Google, stream music, manage everyday tasks, and control smart home products. 

The combination of SmartThings + Google Home Weave, and Cloud Platform allows users to say “Ok Google” to seamlessly turn on lights, change light color, or adjust thermostats. 

I can also recall that, with Google Assistant and its powerful artificial intelligence, Google Home does not restrict users to speak commands in a specific manner and encourages users to have a more natural, conversational interaction with their smart home. 

For those who are unfamiliar, Weave is Google’s communications platform for IoT that enables device setup, phone-to-device-to-cloud communication, and user interaction from mobile devices and the web.
