700+ Google Home (Mini & Nest) Commands (PDF) August 4, 2021
From Android, iOS, and Smart TVs to dedicated smart speakers and display devices, Google’s AI-powered voice assistant is everywhere. Google Assistant is the smartest way to control Wi-Fi-connected smart devices and appliances. If you own a Google Home Mini, Google Nest Mini, Google Nest Audio, Google Nest Hub, Lenovo Smart Display, or any other third-party alternative, here’s a full list of Google Assistant or Google Home commands and cheatsheet PDF to help you make the most of your device.
All major tech brands manufacture smart devices and home appliances like air conditioners, air purifiers, humidifiers, robot cleaners, refrigerators, smart home adapters, TVs, washers, Wi-Fi/Hub, cameras, lightings, motion sensors, door locks, ceiling fans, fire detectors, speakers, thermostats, and so on. All such devices can be controlled using Google Home commands. Recently, Google added the capability to take up to 3 consecutive commands to its Home devices. For instance, you can say, “OK Google, play some pop music on Spotify and dim the room lights,” or “Hey Google, set an alarm for 8.30 tomorrow morning and fan timer for 4 hours.”
Most people use Google Assistant commands to do simple things like controlling music, watching Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, setting timers, turning home appliances on or off, controlling lights, etc. As the range of smart devices has been expanding so does the variety of tasks that can be performed with voice commands. The list of things you can do with Google Assistant is so huge that one might not remember them all.
