Switchmate for Google Assistant gives you the ability to control your Switchmate devices without a Switchmate Power or Zip (BT to WiFi bridge) with ease! For the best possible experience, we recommend you have a Switchmate Power or Zip device and use our SimplySmart Home Control action, however we did include a way to utilize without (this action), but does have more limited functionality (turn on/off only). Please note that when using this functionality without a Power/Zip that the phone you use to pair to Google Home is used as the bridge to your devices, meaning you can only control devices within range of your linked phone(s) at the time you make the request. If you have any questions or need any assistance do not hesitate to reach out to us via support@switchmatehome.com
