Is Homey compatible with Alexa or Google Home UK?
Yes!
Because Homey includes a built-in WiFi chip, it can easily connect to and integrate wirelessly with both Alexa and Google home; this means that, once either Alexa or Google Home is successfully integrated with your Homey hub, you can control any connected smart device or Homey Advanced Flow automation with voice controls.
Connecting your Homey with Alexa or Google home is quick and easy:
Alexa: Ensure your Amazon Alexa is connected to the internet. Open up the Alexa app on your smartphone, navigate to Smart Home in the menu, and select Your Smart Home Skills > Enable smart home skills > search for Homey > Enable skill. Then, just enter your Homey details to give Alexa access to Homey, and press 'Discover Devices' for your Alexa to discover your Homey smart hub.
Google Home: In the Google Home mobile app, select 'Add (+)' > Set Up Device > Works with Google. Select Homey in the list of brands, and simply log in with your Homey credentials and follow the instructions on the screen.
You'll now be able to use voice commands to control anything from a single connected device to a synchronised Advanced Flow - a co-ordinated, customisable scene involving multiple devices all working in harmony.
