Hi everyone, I’m thrilled to share my recent journey with Hive integration into my smart home setup. After some research and tinkering, I’ve successfully connected my Hive thermostat and plugs to my system. It’s been a fantastic experience so far, especially with the seamless temperature control and energy monitoring features. However, I’ve encountered a few quirks that I’m eager to address with your help.
One thing that’s been puzzling me is the behavior of Hive devices when integrating with Google Home. While Alexa has been a breeze, with clear individual device control, Google Home seems to default to room-based controls, which isn’t always what I need. For instance, when I try to adjust a specific light, it ends up affecting multiple devices in the room. I’d love to hear your tips on how to achieve more granular control without relying on room-based commands.
Additionally, I’m curious about the best practices for setting up voice commands to trigger specific scenes or routines using Hive devices. Whether it’s adjusting the thermostat based on the time of day or automating lights during certain activities, I’m eager to explore the possibilities further.
Thank you all for your insights and experiences. I’m looking forward to learning more and enhancing my Hive integration setup!
