How to Control Your Christmas Tree with Google Home and a Smart Plug
In today's video, I'm going to show you how to easily turn on your Christmas tree or your Christmas lights with the Google Home and a compatible smart plug. Before we begin, there are two things that you need to have in order to do this. The first one is that you need to have a Google Home device. You can either have the full Google Home or the Google Home Mini. The second thing that you need is a smart plug. There are actually hundreds of devices that you could use, so make sure you check the link in the description to see all compatible products.
To get started, we'll go through the setup process for your Google Home device. This includes signing into your account and going through the setup process. Once you've got everything set up, we can move on to finding a compatible smart plug. To do this, we need to go into the Google Home application, which is located in the top left-hand corner of the screen. From there, we want to go down to Home Control.
Once we're in the Home Control settings, we'll click the plus at the bottom of the screen to add our smart home device. We'll scroll through the list and find the one that we need to add, select that, and then sign in to the account to link your device to your Google Home. I've linked my smart life app to control this smart plug. Once the account is linked, it will pull up all the plugs associated with that account.
We can then assign it to a room, so we could add it to the family room or living room, wherever the Christmas tree is going to be. After that, we click done and go through and find the light, where we can actually give it a nickname or rename the light. I'm going to name this Christmas tree. Make sure you go and plug in your Christmas lights into your plug. My plug has multiple outlets, so I can plug many different types of lights in there.
Now that we've got everything set up, all we need to do is ask Google a command to turn off the Christmas tree or turn on the Christmas tree. Say "hey google, turn off the Christmas tree." Okay, turning off the Christmas tree. And then if we want to turn it back on again, say "hey google, turn on the Christmas tree." Sure, turning the Christmas tree on. It's as easy as that.
