Hello tech lovers, if you've been a subscriber for a while you may have seen
my review of the Connexoon which is a little box she used to control blinds
the blinds are just behind me. At the time I was a little disappointed it
didn't quickly and easily integrate with things like Alexa and Google assistant
someone puts a comment on that to review recently to point out I can use 'if then
this that' to set up the integration so I just thought I'd do a quick video to
show how you do this and how well it works. If you know heard of if-then this
that it's a great website that allows developers to not bother integrating
with hundreds and hundreds of apps that are out there they just integrate with
this send this if they're missed that even! And that allows you to get things
working together very quickly and easily. It's a free service the, websites is iftt.com
or just search for IFTTT and that will come up, and you need to create an
account so to get this to work you're going to need to add a service,
it's the Safi Connexoon service, when you add it you'll need to grant it
access to your song fee account so here we have the options available so we can
control your home with smart home, let's have a look, so you can see they've
already got some preset up to do with thermostats and protection systems, open
things and close them when you when your phone gets on the Wi-Fi,
So here's one for Google assistant
now I'd like to see one with the Alexa but it doesn't look like they've got it
with Alexa at the moment, let's try let's try where's the Google system
let's try Google assistant. We can set this to launch a mode, you have to set
the mode up in the Connexoon app first and we can let's have a go at just
saying open blinds, you can have various other ways of saying it different
options we'll just say ok no and I want to launch open blinds save. OK it's now
active so in theory I've got Google assistant on my phone ok
Google open blinds...okay so that's caused it to search for open blinds I maybe
need to be a bit more specific in what I'm actually asking it to do.
Tell you what I'm going to try this upstairs I've got I've got an actual Google assistant thing
upstairs let's see if that will work so I've currently got it set to open house
blinds let's see if that works correctly.
ok Google open house blinds
it works so there you go after a few setbacks, namely thinking that I could
do it on my phone, you can set it up so it worked fine, gave the command, open the
blinds, but that was from a standard assistant as opposed to the one that's
on your phone but it's good to know that you can integrate it with Google and
therefore if you do have the little assistants dotted around you can just
tell it to open the blinds, close the blinds, and maybe even link it in with other
smart tech so that you could run it and say close the blinds activate the
lights if you wants to do that. If you're a Connexoon owner what kind of things
have you done with this have be really interested to know in the comments below
what tips, tricks and suggestions do you have for how you can use it with if then
this that what have you found to work what have you found that doesn't work.
