Description   

The Google Assistant and FIBARO system work together to make FIBARO devices even more convenient to use. FIBARO and voice control by Google will help you to control lights, blinds, temperature, sensors, scenes and even more without lifting a finger. There won’t be a need to find your phone, use wall switches or any other remotes – just talk to your Google Assistant.

 

Google Assistant   

The Google Assistant is a virtual assistant developed by Google that is primarily available on mobile as an app and on smart home devices, like Google Home, Google Home Mini, and Google Home Hub.

 

FIBARO ID   

FIBARO ID is an account that allows you to use many FIBARO services with one profile. When you join the FIBARO ID account with your Google Account you allow us to share data about your Home (devices connected to the Home Center) with Google. This data sharing is necessary so that Google is able to provide Google Assistant services.
