Turning off/on lights via Google Home now only controls lights in the same room as the speaker
Previously, if you said "turn off lights," it would turn off all the lights. Now it will only control lights in the same room as the Google Home.
Home automation doesn't require smart speakers, just like smart speakers are useful for more than home automation. But the two make a great combination. It's super handy to be able to control things around your house with your voice. One of the most basic functions is turning lights on and off. Google Home can, of course, do this, but now it works a little differently.
Wake up Gently with the Yeelight Smart RGB LED Bulb and Tasker
I'm emulating a sunset and a sunrise using Tasker and Yeelight. A great way to link up your alarm to a smart light bulb. Happy Morning everyone!
It's getting darker and gloomier here in the northern hemisphere, especially in the United Kingdom where natural light is out past 6 PM. Since these conditions are not going to improve anytime soon (at least not until Spring), let's use Tasker and the Yeelight Smart RGB LED bulb to emulate a sunset and a sunrise on demand.
