Google Assistant now supports multi-step routines.
Copying Amazon, Google first announced it would add multistep smart home routines last October. The feature allows you to do several actions, such as turn off the lights and change the temperature on a thermostat, with a single voice command. Now, thanks to a Google support page that has gone live, we know the feature is ready in the US and that it supports six different routines at launch. What are Google Assistant routines? In the US, it will replace the existing “My Day” daily recap feature. As a result, you will notice the “My Day” menu under the Services list in the Home app has been replaced with “Routines.” Daily recaps are now integrated into the new “good morning” routine, which you can use to hear the weather, commute, calendar, and more. Currently, routines are enabled on Google Home and Assistant for Android and iOS. Which Google Assistant routines are available? As an aside, on Android, Assistant shows an overlay at the top of the screen to indicate when you’re using a routine.
