Prioritize Wi-Fi with voice command

Siredward — Sun, 28 Aug 2022 14:16:13 GMT

I would really like to be able to prioritize The Wi-Fi to specific devices with the voice command: “hey Google, prioritize my laptop for one hour“ For an example; but have been unsuccessful. Any ideas of how this can be done?

Hey Siredward,

Thanks for reaching out.

A quick question: are you referring to your Nest Wifi? If so, prioritizing the device using voice command isn't supported. You can do it on the Google Home app. Check this guide for more information.

Best,

Alex

Hello. Thank you for responding - unfortunately, the solution proposed does not fit. I’m aware that I can manually go into the Google Home app and set a priority device, but that is exactly the problem I’m trying to solve. I don’t want to go into the app, I want to be able to say out-loud to my Google Nest Home “Hey Google, prioritize my ____ for ___ hours” and Google home will prioritize that device as requested.

If this isn’t an existing feature, I would very much like to promote it to being one put into development. Thanks!
