There will come a day when devices like the Home will be delivered via drone, automatically crawl out of their own boxes, and thrust out a mechanical paw to introduce themselves before plugging themselves in and personalizing their functions to your home. Use your mad skills to automate … everything The setup process is becoming more seamless than ever before, and you’ll be able to connect your smart devices to Google Assistant in a matter of seconds. When you’re setting up a new smart device in the manufacturer’s app, you will soon get a push notification that lets you know the device is compatible with your Google Home speaker or display. Google is also making it easier to set up smart devices. Just say “OK, Google, change my name.” You might not get to address your Google Home as “Princess Fluffycakes,” but you can get it to call you by your preferred nickname we recommend “Your Highness” for starters. However, there is a way to get your assistant to call you by a different name when it responds to you. You can change the name of your device in the Google Home app under D evice > Settings > Name, but the name you choose will not become the new wake word. Despite vocal feedback from users, Google still only allows users to wake up the device by saying “OK, Google,” “Hey, Google,” or, oddly enough, “OK, Boo Boo.” Apple has Siri and the Amazon Echo has Alexa, but the engineers behind the Home and other Android-driven devices have stuck steadfastly to the generic “Google Assistant.” It’s interesting that the artificial intelligence (A.I.) personality that powers the Home doesn’t have a name, which seems to undermine the organic relationship between user and device Google is working so carefully to curate.
