Homey integrates with Google Home, so you can control your devices and run Flows by voice. This article explains how to set up the integration.
Initial setup
- Open the Google Home app on your Android or iOS device. Alternatively, you can install it from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
- In the Google Home app, tap Add (+)→ Set up device → Works with Google.
- Search for Homey and tap it in the list of brands.
- Log in with your Homey account and follow the on-screen instructions.
From now on, you can use basic commands such as “Hey Google, turn everything off” or “Hey Google, dim the Kitchen Light to 50%.”
Enabling synchronization with Google (optional)
Additionally, Homey Pro can synchronize your devices’ live status, names, and zones with Google Home, which may improve the speed of certain voice commands.
This functionality must be manually enabled in the Homey app to better protect your privacy. To do that, follow these steps.
- In the Homey Mobile App or Web App, navigate to More (...) → Settings → Google Assistant.
- Toggle Synchronize to Google.
Syncing device data to Google
By synchronizing your device data with Google, you agree to Google's Privacy Policy.
Manual synchronization
Automatic device synchronization is only available on Homey Pro. When synchronization is not enabled, newly added devices might not appear in the Google Home app. You can synchronize manually by saying, “Hey, Google, sync devices.”
