Voice Commands Nest Hub

ScubaSam — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 13:27:17 GMT

What voice command to use to ask what appointments are next or for a weekly explanation of appointments on a FAMILY CALENDAR. The nest hub would be dramatically more useful if it better supported Google calendar, so frustrating their own product doesn't even work with their own software

Maybe this Google Nest Help topic on "Control Google Nest or Home devices by voice" will help:

There's also this topic on "Get calendar and event information":

Thank you for suggestions but I've already read these over extensively and none of it provides guidance for what to say specifically to get information on upcoming appointments specifically for a family calendar.. The only thing that seems to work is if your trying to get information on your own personal calendar. I bought one of these nest hubs for my mom's room but I schedule her doctor appointments using a family calendar, sure would be a whole lot easier if she could simply ask the device when her next appointment is on the family calendar. Just don't get it why such a blatantly obvious use for this device is so difficult to get to work..

@ScubaSam

Maybe another customer in this forum knows whether there is a way to ask for events in a specific calendar.

Hey there,

MplsCustomer, thanks for the assistance.

ScubaSam Aside from the main Google Calendar of the owners of the Google Accounts linked to Google Home, Shared and Family Google Calendars are supported.

Make sure the other members voice are link on your device.

Make sure the customer's mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as the speaker or display.

Open the Google Home app .
At the top right, tap the account (the icon with the customer’s initial or profile picture).
Verify the Google Account on screen is the one linked to the speaker or display. To switch accounts, tap the dropdown arrow > choose another account or Add another account .
From Home, tap Settings > Google Assistant > Voice Match.
Tap Add device > select the devices the customer wants to teach to recognize their voice > Continue.
Follow the rest of the prompts.

Looking forward to your response.

Best,

Alex
