“Voice has a powerful role in simplifying the connected home
experience and people absolutely love it,” said Renee Niemi, vice
president and general manager of Logitech Smart Home. “Controlling
entertainment is an important activity within the smart home and
Logitech Harmony has been focused on optimizing the ways people can
enjoy this. By working with Google, we are now able to make home
entertainment even more seamless and fun.”
Starting today, you can start Actions on Google with any Harmony
hub-based product and a Google Home by simply saying “Ok Google,
ask Harmony to turn on my TV.” For example, you can turn on your TV
to your favorite channel, set the lights, or control up to 270,000
other devices supported by the Logitech Harmony platform. Here are
some of the ways you can control your TV experience using Logitech
Harmony and the Google Assistant:
“Ok Google, ask Harmony to…”
- “...turn on Hulu or HBO GO.”—Popular
apps installed on your Roku player can be launched with your
voice
- “...turn on ESPN, ABC News or the
Discovery Channel.”—Any of your favorite channels set up in a
Harmony account can be triggered using your voice
- “...turn on my ‘Good Morning’
activity.”—When you set up an activity such as “Good Morning” in
your Harmony account, you can set Philips Hue lights to warm
colors, turn on a Nest thermostat and play music from your
compatible living room speakers, all by using your voice
- “...turn up the volume.”—Using your
voice, you can turn up or down volume and specify a value between
one to 20
- “...skip forward or skip back.” —Google
Assistant and Logitech Harmony allow you to skip forward or skip
back on your content
