04. Authorize your account with Google Assistant using the username and password from your Geeni app. [Text: "Google wants to link to your Geeni account. Please, press the 'Authorize' button"] [Authorize button text]

Now your Google Home app and GEENI devices are linked!

You're now able to say "Hey Google" and control your GEENI devices.

At any time, go into the "Home Control" section of the Google Home app to set nicknames and rooms for your devices. You can rename your devices in the Geeni app, and Google Assistant will refer to them by the same name. So if you rename a smart bulb to "Living Room" or a nickname like "Blossom," then Google Assistant will use that same name later on. You can always give it a nickname using the Google Home app as well. You can also assign bulbs to a specific room, like "Bedroom" or "Kitchen."

Google Assistant will be able to control devices by room.

Things you can say*:

To control your GEENI smart bulbs, plugs or surge protectors, just say "OK Google," or "Hey Google," and ask. Make sure your devices are already set up using the Geeni app.

• "Hey Google, turn on all the lights in my bedroom."
• "Hey Google, turn off fan."
• "Hey Google, set the bedroom light to orange."
• "Hey Google, turn off the coffee machine."
• "Hey Google, set the living room to 50%."
• "Hey Google, dim porch light."

From your main device list, click on one of the devices you want to group. Press the "..." button on the top right for advanced settings, and click Create Group. You'll then be able to choose which devices you'd like to group together and will be able to rename them.
