You've done a really good job with this video, very unique on TH-cam. Hope your channel grows, you deserve it :) keep putting this effort into your videos 💙
The time I set as a trigger passes and my assistant does nothing. Any ideas how to fix this? I didn't find anything helpful on the internet. This is so frustrating
OH. Now I understand Assistant. It is Google's way of persuading you to use Google apps instead of their competitors. If you want it to launch a non-google app and take an action, it will not. If you want it to do something that Google apps can't accomplish, it won't. It will "Help" you by having Google company take over every aspect of your home life and daily routines.
Nice work. But I am struggling with a routine. I can set a routine to open Spotify and play some music, but how can I then have the routine also play this music on a specific speaker, which is not a Google one, but does show up in the menu of Spotify?
Hi, very good video. Can you please help me get the command to activate /deactivate my location. Setting the action to 'Activate Location' open the window to set my location
The Nest Hub uses around 2 watts of power during standby. You can keep it powered all the time without much effect on your power bill. The Nest Hub Max draws 5.7 watts, so I only keep one of those on in my house.
hello, so i just started with google home. can you help me? i get how to use the routines, but the thing is it wont do the routines i set it up with. how come? and if i just use regular GA it would do the action. 2nd. my GA seems different than yours, maybe its updated already and thus the error?
Hi thanks for your helpful video. I just got the newest chromecast GoogleTV device and I use it on a Samsung SmartTV. Question: if I buy the Samsung HW-Q950T Soundbar system set, would I be able to group that surround speaker set using Google Home in combo with Nest and Nest mini. Also, 2nd question. Can I play one thing on the TV + surround system but a family member can play something separate on a different speaker group in another section of the house?
Is there a way for routines to be activated automatically when i do a certain thing. Let's say i have a fire and nest protect alarms are activated and i wanted it to turn on the exhaust fan connected to a smart outlet to exhaust all the smoke out of the house automatically. Is there a way to do this with google routines?
Thank you! I would like to customise my “I’m home”routine whereby I want my speaker to read the news first and if it’s finished then start a playlist. This is possible by asking to read the news in the custom section and the in the “and then” section ask to play music. The problem I get is that google immediately starts the music and doesn’t wait until the news is finished. Any idea how to fix this?
WHAT if i only want the routine to trigger in a especific time, for example bed time I want it to begine at 11 pm but I dont want to say every time "ok google, bed time"
@@johnm93359 I am using Google home app and could not find it. I opened every options and not found. I searched Google and followed their instructions with no luck. I do not live in America, maybe this has to do with country. I don't know. Thanks for the reply
Mmmm, in a Phone with Spanish it doesn't appear, then you have to tap your picture (top - right), then choose Assistant settings and finally choose Assistant tab and in that option you will find Routines option.
Thank you for the video. How do you end a routine please? I have it set in the bathroom. It turns the lights on then plays music. But I then have to turn the lights and music of separately. Hope you might help please
Sleep timers in routines no longer work for me and haven't for months. Not sure why they stopped working as I made no changes to my routines. Now I get "Sorry, sleep timers can only be set if media is playing" even though you can hear the music start during the previous steps in the routine.
Hi Josh, maybe u have a answer for me , do u know how to set a commando in a routine? Example routine called bed time, Google does: Turn off livingroom lights Set lights scene bedroom on Turn thermostat to eco Start roomba to clean. What i want in this routine is that google asks me if she must start the roomba. Do u know how?
Not sure if that type of feature is supported with routines currently. Google would need to add if/then decision trees or something else for that to work - Josh
Thanks for all the great videos, but am I the only one who seems to be missing the google home routines section in the app, both in my phone and ipad? Can still use my old goodmorning routine but cant find anywhere to setup a new routine. Cheers
Hi Josh! Do you know if the Google assistant routines will ever support automations like when a door opens turn on these lights etc.? Right now I can only do that though SmartThings.
I just want my assistant to read a custom to-do list step-by-step, the way it reads like a recipe, checking in to see if the previous step is completed at each step... why is it so hard?!
Hmmmm, make sure the speaker volume is turned up at that time and the routine is actually being run by a speaker in your room. It could be running without any speaker identified.
Yes, though once it turned off on data connection it stopped working so I'd turn on mobile before turning off wifi, but we got most of it to work on our Pixel 4a which has the on device Google Assistant.
Google assistant routines on the phone only works if you say something to activate it. the timed/ automated start only works if you have an external speaker for some reason, it forgets the phone has speakers. Utterly useless for anyone who needs to automate their daily routine with just their phone.
Ever since unsubscribing to a simple thing like 'daily facts' seems like an impossible task, I refuse to delve into any other routines until unsubscribing becomes equally easy as subscribing. It's hilarious.
Great video. I have what I think is a simple question, but I can't find an answer. I want a routine that sets all of my volumes (Ringtone, Notification, Media, System) to a specific %. For example. I'm getting to work and want to turn all of my volumes down to 5%. I have been able to set almost all of them without issue, but the notification volume is the elusive setting. I have a Samsung S21 and there is even a preset command called "Set Volume" with the description Ringer and Notification Volume. But it does not affect the notification volume at all. Thanks for your advice.
Why can I not find a video on how I can make money with my particular channel niche-which is I think one of TH-cam BIGGEST-my channel is basically a random menagerie of stupid, nonsense, goofy, witty, weird, modern, & sometimes surprisingly intellectual personally and unprofrasionally filmed videos from my everyday library? Tell me where
I use Google assistant like Jarvis and pretend I'm Tony Stark.
Thank you Josh for saying "Thanks for watching" instead of "I'll see you guys next time".
Glad you prefer it that way 🙂
Ok
Very informative. I've had Google Assistant for 3-4 years and I had no idea about all these neat feature. Thanks!!
You've done a really good job with this video, very unique on TH-cam. Hope your channel grows, you deserve it :) keep putting this effort into your videos 💙
Great job! Great to see both validation for what I like to do as well as giving us great ideas. Keep up he great videos!

6:38.........The man has 6 bathrooms and 1 bedroom!!
Those are lightbulbs 😉
Hilarious 🤣 Just the thought
This is an incredible video! Thank you Josh!
Can you trigger routines in a routine, i.e. reusing them?
I don’t get it. How did you get into the custom routine menu? Please help. I can’t figure out how to stop a scheduled routine I made.
This was a reallly good video, more power to you!
This is so helpful thank you. I'm going to some routines for my children's online school.
Great video as always. 👍 It would be great if Google add location based routines.

I have set up a few scenes in google home using my iphone but they dont trigger for some reason, any ideas? All wifi devices so no hub.
Hey Josh,you should do some smartwatch reviews
Stay tuned! 😉
Jeez I have so many automated routines that if I didn't have them I'd probably freak out. 😂. I think I'm codependent.
which version of the google home app are you running in this video?
i use IOS 16.1 on an Iphone 12 but none of the screens look the same as your video and i cannot figure out how to create or edit any of the routines.

What Would it be okay to keep Google Nest Hub powered on forever?
The Nest Hub uses around 2 watts of power during standby. You can keep it powered all the time without much effect on your power bill. The Nest Hub Max draws 5.7 watts, so I only keep one of those on in my house.
It's meant to be kept on forever

Put both the play news and play playlist actions under the custom section and see if that fixes it.

try under the google home app.

You could create another routine to turn off the lights and stop playing music. That's probably the easiest way to automate it.
@@6MonthsLater cool thank you, don't know why I didn't think of that.
i don’t have the routines button is there another way to set it up?
How long did it take before you got tired of Google saying all that stuff before you clean
Thanks for your video. How about wait command ? Turning off after 10 minutes wait time ?
Is this just working in US? Cant finde Routine button i google home?
Are there any news on when the 'Location' triggers are comming to Google Home like Alexa has?
By end of the year is the expectation

Very good 😁👍
The adjust speaker volume doesn’t work in my routines. Bug?
Where does it say how to repeat a previously used routine without saying the routine name over and over again?
Great video! Can a routine include a speaker volume adjustment? e.g. low for sleep music loader for the weather forecast, etc.?
Thanks for all the great videos, but am I the only one who seems to be missing the google home routines section in the app, both in my phone and ipad?
Can still use my old goodmorning routine but cant find anywhere to setup a new routine.
Cheers
So without the Google Home app, I can't access routines? Cause I can't find it in Google assistant settings. Pixel 4a. Help.
I could not find it on my iphone aswell - i just asked google "How do i create a routine" and it sent me a link to open in
It's good to see a demonstration rather than just the setting options..
There is no option to delete a routine. Why is the trash icon not there? Why is this so difficult???
Hi Josh! Do you know if the Google assistant routines will ever support automations like when a door opens turn on these lights etc.? Right now I can only do that though SmartThings.
We don't know if that's in the pipeline yet, but adding that type of IFTT functionality would make sense.
Thank you very much...please make a video about Google go and Google translate as well

@@6MonthsLater for it to start telling me the weather and to play a song... it works when I say the command but not on the timed routine

Routines is not availble in my country and most countries in the world shame , but I found a way to access routines
how?
Is it able to turn brightness on my phone to 100% and turn wifi off + turn mobile data on
Yes, though once it turned off on data connection it stopped working so I'd turn on mobile before turning off wifi, but we got most of it to work on our Pixel 4a which has the on device Google Assistant.

Why my google routine suddenly disappeared?. Cant find in the apps
have the same problem here!
@@Ipson83CH have u update the google home in this few days?
@@DifafamChannel I did, then it desappeared, I saw a lot of people having the same problem..

Ah shit here we go again
Now, create a custom routine to get a PhD in using Google Assistant. 🤔
add it to your study routine
What's your (in your opinion) favorite smart device?
Google assistant routines on the phone only works if you say something to activate it.
the timed/ automated start only works if you have an external speaker for some reason, it forgets the phone has speakers. Utterly useless for anyone who needs to automate their daily routine with just their phone.
Isn't the audio out of sync a lot? Great content anyway.

My routines fail to continue as soon as it launches a full screen app such as Google maps. Bloody useles.
I believe I am suffering the same problem 😔
But I don’t have a routine button
the only thing i want is that my google nest in a routine, remind me to take my pills
Bixby Routines is way better. Not sure why Google is so far behind with routines.
WINNING 🔥🎸🔥🐒🤣 goood 🌄🌅 world 🤣
Routines are not opening android apps.
