I’ve been exploring the world of smart home automation for a while now, and I must say, it’s been an incredible journey! One of the most exciting aspects for me has been setting up my Hue lighting system with Homey, and now I’m looking to integrate it seamlessly with Google Assistant. I remember when I first paired my Hue lights with Google Home—it was such a game-changer! I could control my lights with just my voice, and it made my home feel so much smarter. But now that I’ve moved everything over to Homey, I’m facing a bit of a challenge.
I’ve heard that with Homey, you can create flows using Hue scenes, but I’m not entirely sure how to set those scenes up via Google Home. Before, I could just say, “Hey Google, turn on the dinner scene,” and voilà! Now, it seems like I need to go through Homey to make that happen. From what I’ve read online, it looks like I need to set up flows in Homey and then add those as favorites in Google Assistant. But I’m curious—how many favorite flows can I create? Is there a limit? And is there a better way to make this integration smoother?
I’ve also been experimenting with creating my own custom scenes in Homey. It’s really cool how you can combine different lights and settings to create the perfect ambiance for any occasion. For example, I’ve set up a relaxing evening scene that dims the lights and turns on a soothing playlist. It’s these little touches that make smart home automation so worthwhile!
If anyone has successfully integrated their Hue scenes with Google Assistant via Homey, I’d love to hear your tips and tricks. Maybe there’s a workaround or a feature I haven’t discovered yet. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other make our smart homes even smarter!
