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.

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.
