How do I connect my Smart Life device?

Answered by Willian Lymon

To connect your Smart Life device, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Open the Google Home app on your smartphone: Make sure you have the Google Home app installed on your smartphone. If you don’t have it, you can download it from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).

2. Tap the plus symbol: Once you have opened the Google Home app, look for the plus symbol in the top left corner of the screen. This will allow you to add a new device.

3. Search for “Add and manage” option: After tapping the plus symbol, you will see a list of options. Look for the “Add and manage” option and tap on it.

4. Select “Set up devices”: Within the “Add and manage” section, you will find various options. Look for “Set up devices” and tap on it.

5. Choose “Compatible with Google devices”: Under the “Set up devices” section, you will see different options. Look for “Compatible with Google devices” and select it.

6. Search for “Connect Smart Life”: Once you have chosen “Compatible with Google devices,” you will see a list of compatible devices. Scroll through the list and search for “Connect Smart Life.” If you already see it at the top, tap on it. Otherwise, you may need to search for it using the search bar.

7. Follow the instructions: After selecting “Connect Smart Life,” you will be guided through the setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Smart Life device to your Google Home app. This may involve signing in to your Smart Life account, granting permission for the app to access your device, or other necessary steps.

8. Complete the setup: Once you have followed all the instructions and successfully connected your Smart Life device, you should see a confirmation message in the Google Home app. You can now control your Smart Life device using the Google Home app or by using voice commands with a Google Assistant-enabled device, such as a Google Nest Mini or Google Nest Hub.

Note: The exact steps and options may vary slightly depending on the version of the Google Home app and your smartphone’s operating system. However, the general process should be similar.

In my personal experience, I have connected several Smart Life devices to my Google Home app, including smart plugs and smart bulbs. The setup process was straightforward, and I found it convenient to control my devices using the Google Home app or by simply using voice commands with my Google Nest Mini. Connecting your Smart Life device to the Google Home app can enhance the functionality and ease of use of your smart home setup.
