This widget lets you control your houses as if they were mobile applications

Home automation in Spain is something that has become part of our day to day. While complex or pre -installed systems are still a minority, Most houses usually have some smart speaker, or a connected screen, or a smarttv Or, above all, some intelligent bulb or plug.

The control of them is very simple, especially because Most brands have integration with Alexa or Google Homewhich are two applications that are usually installed on the mobile. In addition, they can be controlled by voice commands, from home accessories or from the mobile.

But there is a form of control with which we are not familiar, and it is the Google Home Widget. This application, unlike many others from Google, only has a widget available to put on the desk, but is sufficiently versatile and useful.

To be able to use it We simply have to have Google Home installedalthough it comes standard in most mobile phones in Spain. In the event that it is not so, we can lower it from the Google Play Store. Press in an empty desk and select widget area. We look for Google Home and add it.

When we finish selecting them the widget will show a button for each light, And simply with a pulsation we can turn on or off them without having to enter any application. Also, like It is shown in yellow what lights are activeit is possible to see at a glance if any has been turned on and turned it off quickly.

Of course, in addition to the lights we can put other devices if we want.

And if we click on The house icon in the upper right corner will serve as direct access to the Google Home applicationbeing able to remove the shortcut if we had it from the desk.
