Haverland Radiator Integration with Google Assistant
What is Google Assistant?
Google Assistant is Google's voice-controlled virtual assistant that provides access to various services and functions through spoken commands. It is compatible with a wide range of devices, including mobile phones, smart watches, televisions, and Google Home devices.
Installing the Google Home APP
To use Google Assistant with Haverland radiators, you need to install the Google Home application. This app is available for free from your device's app store.
Pairing Your Radiator with Google
After installing the Google Home application, open it. If it's your first time, you'll need to create a new home. Once registered, the app will prompt you to set up a new device; select "Work with Google". If you already have a home created, navigate to 'Add' then 'Set up device' before proceeding.
A list of available devices (actions) will appear. Search for and select "Haverland". You will then need to enter the username and password used for the Haverland App. Select the property you wish to pair with your Google account and proceed to "Link Home".
Once paired, your Haverland radiators can be managed via voice commands and through the controls within the Google Home app. The app will ask for the radiator's location to assign it to a room. Multiple radiators can be added to the same room, and names can be customized.
Note on Limitations: Control through the Google Home app has certain limitations compared to the dedicated Haverland App:
- Radiators and users cannot be registered or deleted.
- Radiator or property names cannot be edited.
- Advanced radiator programming and settings are not accessible.
- Geolocation functionality is not available.
- Users cannot be invited to the account.
- Consumption history cannot be consulted.
For these advanced functions, please use the "Haverland App".
Control Through Voice Assistant
You can control your Haverland radiators using Google Assistant. The assistant interprets commands naturally, so there isn't a single fixed way to issue them. Here are some example commands:
- "Turn off the house" (turns off all connected devices).
- "Turn off a radiator".
- "Turn on the house" (turns on all connected devices).
- "Turn on a radiator".
- "Set 25 degrees in the house" (sets all devices to 25°C. If off, they turn on in Auto mode; otherwise, they retain their current mode).
- "Set 25 degrees in the living room" (requires a device named "living room").
- "Set 'Comfort' Heat mode in the living room" (sets the manual mode to the Comfort temperature).
- "Set Economy mode in the living room" (sets the manual mode to the Economy temperature).
- "Set a radiator to AUTO mode".
- "Turn off the radiator in the living room".
- "What is the temperature setting for the living room radiator?"
Control Through the Google Home Application
The Google Home application offers limited control over your installed radiators. After linking your account, radiators associated with your paired property will appear in the app. Currently, if a radiator is in Auto mode, it may appear as "Other", and temperature adjustments might not be possible directly from the app in this mode. This behavior is subject to change by Google.
To control a specific radiator, tap its icon. You can select the "Heat" mode, which corresponds to manual mode. A "Comfort" temperature can be set and adjusted. You can also select "Economy" mode, which sets the manual mode to the Economy temperature, though this temperature value itself cannot be changed within the app. To turn off a radiator, set its status to "OFF".
WARNING: These instructions are based on the current version of the Google Home application. Google controls the app's development, and its features or interface may change without notice. Google provides official documentation on account linking and device management within its Smart Home profile. This manual serves as a general guide.
