Google Assistant Can Now Schedule Smart Home Commands to Control Lights and Others at a Specific Time

Google is rolling out a new update for Google Assistant that will enable users to control and adjust smart home hardware at a specific time. With the latest Scheduled Actions feature, users can specify a duration to Assistant with commands such as, "Hey Google, turn on the lights in five minutes," to control smart home appliances. Google, in a post on developers' support page also highlights that commands can be scheduled for the current day or another day, that is, within the next seven day period. At the moment, the Assistant feature works with limited to smart home commands, and Google is yet to share details over its availability.

Google further notes that in case of a user specifies a temporal adverb (for example, tomorrow or next week) without providing an exact time, the Scheduled Actions feature will not function properly. According to 9to5Google, this feature is limited to smart home devices, and new commands do not support actions like playing music. Currently, Google and even Amazon allow users to schedule routines; however, both Assistant and Alexa lack the ability to control smart home appliances in advance. Google further states that developer "do not need to make any code changes" or resubmit smart home Action to enable scheduling.
