Before connecting SmartThings and Google Home, there are several things you should prepare. First, you need to download the Google Home app (Android, iOS) so that you can set up your devices and the SmartThings app (Android, iOS ) to customize SmartThings devices.
Create an account on both platforms. Then, make sure the Google Home account on your smartphone app is the same as the one you linked your Google Home device to. Finally, make sure all smart devices are connected to the same wireless network. Now you can proceed with connecting the two hubs.
When you prepare the necessary devices and configure their respective apps, you can proceed to connect Google Home and SmartThings. Here’s what you need to do:

“OK Google, set the living room light to 20 percent.”
“OK Google, turn on the heat.”
“OK Google, turn off all the lights.”
“OK Google, shine the light in the kitchen.”
These are just some of the countless commands you can use. It all depends on the devices you have on your SmartThings app and the rooms you’ve assigned them to. So you should try all possible combinations. But remember, it always starts with: “OK, Google”.
