The device illuminates from its four lights when ready. Setting up smart lights is easy — but it’s even easier with Seamless Setup when you set up your Philips Hue Bluetooth-enabled lights in the Google Home app. Whether you’re pairing your new smart lights with your Google Assistant or setting up your smart home device for the very first time, Seamless setup allows you to quickly and easily set up in just a few steps. Users can also schedule manual wake-up or sleep modes up to 24 hours in advance, too. Smart lights still tend to offer a rude awakening if you tie them to your alarm, but Google wants to fix that. It's delivering a promised Gentle Sleep & Wake feature for Home speakers that gradually dims or brightens your Philips Hue lights to provide a more natural rest.

Make sure you're using the same Google Account as the primary account from within the Google Home app. You might have a more graceful start to your mornings. You will be redirected to a browser window which allows you to sign in to your Philips hue account. I have also always been experiencing the instability of connection to Google home. It has completely stopped working in the last couple of days.
How to Connect Philips Hue to Google Home
Adding new devices is also very easy - I've added both new door/window contacts and a PIR, both took seconds. Both the keypad and key fob would be much better if the alarm/part-arm & disarm buttons were coloured for ease of use in limited light. Not much of an issue as we always use Alexa anyway, but still.... The app can only control one alarm system, and I have a second system in my holiday home, so I have had to set up the app on a tablet.

And being able to expand on the number of sensors up to 40 is so reassuring when it comes to securing a property. Setting up user accounts is easy - all the family have access via their phones now. There is a keypad entry system as well but I expect this will be for emergency only's when they have a flat battery on their phone.
Home control — Lights, thermostats, plugs & switches
It's currently available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore and India, and you'll need to use English. There's also no mention of support for non-Hue lights. If you can live with the limitations, though, it might be worthwhile to get a better start to your day. With the Netatmo Smart Smoke Alarm and its real-time smartphone notifications, you can always take action, even if you are not home. If there is a fire in the night having all your lights turn on help wake you up and allows you to see when getting up and getting out. Having them set as a red color also makes you aware there maybe a fire.

SMS messages work great - I did a couple of test and configured it to send to two phones, they arrived pretty much instantaneously when the alarm when off. Understandably you can only set 'Burglar' events to come via text message. I have to say the app has had some negative reviews and doesn't score very well in the app store but I have found it simple to use, easy to navigate and stable. Perhaps they have worked hard in it since it came out but it's by no means a terrible app.

One of the best parts of having a smart home setup is the convenience it brings to your everyday life. Walking into a room with your hands full? Busy cooking, and the light switch is across the kitchen? Just say "Hey Google" to control your lights and set them to any settings you like. It's worth noting at this point you can mount door sensors either by sticky pads or screws.
Users can instruct their Philips Hue lights via the Google Assistant to sleep and wake immediately, meaning the Philips Hue lights will activate the sleep and wake process directly for the 30-minute duration. This functionality will work similarly to when you would like to wake up. Lights added – Once set up all your Hue bulbs and lights will be automatically shown. Login/Authorise – Once selected you may need to login to your Philips Hue account and authorise access for this app, you may also need to pair with the bridge depending on your set up.
All in all we are very pleased with every aspect of the alarm system thus far and if the complimentary service I've had with CS to date is anything to go by I don't see any issues going forward. We purchased the Yale IA-320 Alarm with the additional 3 pack Motion Detector Kit AC-3PIR and the HD1080 WiFi Indoor Camera SV-DFFI-W as our previous alarm system had packed up after 15 years. I love the convenience of being able to isolate specific sensors whilst leaving everything else fully armed.

I have a couple of IP camera's set up in the house and outside so I can quickly log on and make sure everything is OK, if it looks fine I can reset the alarm via the app. You can use Yale's own CCTV systems which integrate with the app but these are quite an expensive option. I use Android but I assume the app for the iPhone is similar. Installed it and set up an account (first one set up becomes then 'Master' account for your system).
Choose the home in which you’d like to set up your light.

No response at all, just a big animated hand showing how simple it is to get working by only doing what I’ve done a dozen times. After a few minutes it says “Do you want to try again? This page is the only troubleshooting I can find on Google.
I'd have liked to put it where the old control panel was, but it just has to sit on a horizontal shelf.

Their Philips Hue lights with subsequent morning alarms with the Google Assistant. Every time the user sets their alarm on the Google Assistant, Philips Hue lights will naturally wake the user up with a sunrise effect commencing 30 minutes beforehand. If you have got a new Google home or the mini and it is set up, you can now start adding your home devices such as your Hue bulbs and lights. When you connect Hue lights to Google Assistant, you get voice control — and the possibility to bring all the smart devices in your home together. The first thing we did on registering with the Alexa skill was to change the names of the devices to "Yale security", "Yale front" and "Yale back" to simplify arming and disarming by voice. Now, by saying "Alexa arm Yale security", the alarm is set and "Alexa disarm Yale security" causes her to ask for the pin and when you give it, the alarm is unset.
