Google Home
Connect the Ilevia system to Google Home and Google Assistant with the Ilevia Smart Home skill, add new devices and supported voice commands.
With the Ilevia Smart Home skill, control the devices configured in Voice Control Manager with Google Home and Google Assistant, with KNX, Vimar By-me, BTicino MyHome, Z-Wave systems and the other protocols managed by Ilevia. A Google speaker is not required: Google Assistant on a smartphone or tablet is enough.
Before you start
Configure the devices in Voice Control Manager and upload the project to the server.
Have the QR code or the voice control ID available, found in the component properties.
Install the Google Home app and use the same Google account in Google Home, Google Assistant and on all Google devices.
Connect the Ilevia Smart Home skill
Open the Google Home app. If this is your first time, tap Create home, give the home a name and confirm.
Tap + Add device.
Choose Works with Google.
Tap the search icon and look for Ilevia Smart Home. Do not use the skill with «(classic)» in the name: it is only for the old procedure.
