System User Guide Wiser Home (Germany, Austria) - 10

Google Home

Google Home is a brand of smart speakers that work similarly to Amazon Echo. Google’s intelligent PA, Google Assistant, is equivalent to Amazon’s Alexa. Google Home is also available on all Android devices and does not require the use of the ‘Smart Speakers’.

The user can speak a profusion of commands to request information, or ask the Google Assistant to perform an action such as play music, video playback, report news, access home automation. All of this can all be controlled from a Google Home device.

Configuring Wiser Home with Google Home

  1. On the Home page of the Wiser Home app, tap .

  2. Tap Account > App and Connections to find different cloud services.

  3. Tap on Google Assistant option. This will open the Google assistant app on your smartphone to link to Wiser system.

  4. Enter the user name and password you have setup for your Wiser system and tap Done.

  5. Grant the required permissions to allow you to discover all the Wiser devices you have setup, and to control your wiser system using google assistant app and by using voice command.

Changes made with Google Home

All changes made through a voice command related to room thermostats and radiator thermostats are valid for one hour, or until the next scheduled event. The user cannot change this action. This also applies for boosts initiated from the radiator thermostat.

The reason for not implementing permanent changes to Wiser temperature is that a voice command can easily be forgotten, resulting in the heating accidentally being left ON for long periods of time, such as when users exit their home.

NOTE: When a command is given to increase/ decrease the temperature but no temperature setpoint is given, Google Home defaults the new setpoint temperature to the prior setpoint ± 3 degrees. This value is controlled by Google Home and differs from a normal Wiser boost, which defaults the new setpoint to ±2 degrees above/below the current ambient temperature.
NOTE: Commands for turning the heating “ON/ OFF” are currently unavailable on Google Home. This is done intentionally as “OFF” cannot be reconciled with the notion of a temporary operation, and conversely, the notion of an “ON” setpoint does not exist on the Wiser system.
NOTE: If the Wiser Plug is following a schedule everything you tell Google Home to do related to Wiser Plugs will last until the next event in the Wiser Plug schedule. If the Wiser Plug is running in Manual Mode, everything you tell Google Home to do will remain in place until the next command either from Google Home or from the Wiser Home App.
