Link device to specific account.

Archon — Fri, 13 May 2022 22:51:28 GMT

Is there any way to assign a device to a specific account? For example, I have two kids each with a smart bulb in their bedrooms, each also has a Google nest mini. Voice recognition is setup. At the moment they can ask Google to turn "Sarah's light" on/off or turn "Jane's light" on/off. What I'd like is Sarah to be able to say "Turn my light on/off" and Google recognises who it is and then turns Sarah's light on/off.

Hey Archon,

Thanks for raising this questions.

Everyone can control your lights even if they are not linked to your Nest Mini devices. Nest speakers don't have a way to only control particular lights with only one person. We're always looking for ways to improve and we'll take it as feedback. You can check creating Routines a try. Let me know if you have other questions as I'll be locking this thread if we won't hear back from you again in 24 hrs.

Best,
Alex
