The BGE Smart Home action allows you to monitor and control your Smart Home with the power of your voice. You can send commands that control your home's smart plugs, lights and connected thermostat. This BGE Smart Home action is optimized for use with your smart home and allows you to control connected devices, simply by saying "Okay Google, turn on the lights". Before you begin: Once you've downloaded the BGE Smart Home app and created your BGE Smart Home account, you can enable this action. You will need to log into your account using the same credentials and link it to your Google Assistant. To get started: You will need to have your BGE Smart Home gateway and devices installed.
