Google Assistant Routines: A How-To Guide

What if you don't have Google home. But want your phone to stop given you the News on your phone

OH. Now I understand Assistant. It is Google's way of persuading you to use Google apps instead of their competitors. If you want it to launch a non-google app and take an action, it will not. If you want it to do something that Google apps can't accomplish, it won't. It will "Help" you by having Google company take over every aspect of your home life and daily routines.

Thank you so much great Intel

I just want my assistant to read a custom to-do list step-by-step, the way it reads like a recipe, checking in to see if the previous step is completed at each step... why is it so hard?!

Bixby Routines is way better. Not sure why Google is so far behind with routines.

Google assistant routines on the phone only works if you say something to activate it.
the timed/ automated start only works if you have an external speaker for some reason, it forgets the phone has speakers. Utterly useless for anyone who needs to automate their daily routine with just their phone.

Mine doesn't have the custom response

Mine doesn't look the same

I have set up a few scenes in google home using my iphone but they dont trigger for some reason, any ideas? All wifi devices so no hub.

i use IOS 16.1 on an Iphone 12 but none of the screens look the same as your video and i cannot figure out how to create or edit any of the routines.

How long did it take before you got tired of Google saying all that stuff before you clean

Not as smart as Samsung routine app

Great video! Can a routine include a speaker volume adjustment? e.g. low for sleep music loader for the weather forecast, etc.?

Isn't the audio out of sync a lot? Great content anyway.

There is no option to delete a routine. Why is the trash icon not there? Why is this so difficult???

Hi, very good video. Can you please help me get the command to activate /deactivate my location. Setting the action to 'Activate Location' open the window to set my location

How can you delete a routine?

But I don’t have a routine button

Thank you for the video. How do you end a routine please? I have it set in the bathroom. It turns the lights on then plays music. But I then have to turn the lights and music of separately. Hope you might help please

My trigger phrase for morning routine:
Ah shit here we go again

I use Google assistant like Jarvis and pretend I'm Tony Stark.

WINNING 🔥🎸🔥🐒🤣 goood 🌄🌅 world 🤣

Where does it say how to repeat a previously used routine without saying the routine name over and over again?

the only thing i want is that my google nest in a routine, remind me to take my pills

which version of the google home app are you running in this video?

This is so helpful thank you. I'm going to some routines for my children's online school.

The time I set as a trigger passes and my assistant does nothing. Any ideas how to fix this? I didn't find anything helpful on the internet. This is so frustrating

Can you trigger routines in a routine, i.e. reusing them?

WHAT if i only want the routine to trigger in a especific time, for example bed time I want it to begine at 11 pm but I dont want to say every time "ok google, bed time"

My good Morning routine and others works, exept for my bedtime routine :((

Routines are not opening android apps.

I can’t see the routine on my google home app

Can u tell me that if we do this how we suppose to remove this or we can play game or use apps like Microsoft teams because i am small i have to do class in that so how I supposed to do

hello, so i just started with google home. can you help me? i get how to use the routines, but the thing is it wont do the routines i set it up with. how come? and if i just use regular GA it would do the action.

2nd. my GA seems different than yours, maybe its updated already and thus the error?

My routines fail to continue as soon as it launches a full screen app such as Google maps. Bloody useles.

Hi Josh, maybe u have a answer for me , do u know how to set a commando in a routine?
Example routine called bed time,
Google does:
Turn off livingroom lights
Set lights scene bedroom on
Turn thermostat to eco
Start roomba to clean.
What i want in this routine is that google asks me if she must start the roomba. Do u know how?

Great video. I have what I think is a simple question, but I can't find an answer. I want a routine that sets all of my volumes (Ringtone, Notification, Media, System) to a specific %. For example. I'm getting to work and want to turn all of my volumes down to 5%. I have been able to set almost all of them without issue, but the notification volume is the elusive setting. I have a Samsung S21 and there is even a preset command called "Set Volume" with the description Ringer and Notification Volume. But it does not affect the notification volume at all. Thanks for your advice.

u hv pretty eyes

Nice work. But I am struggling with a routine. I can set a routine to open Spotify and play some music, but how can I then have the routine also play this music on a specific speaker, which is not a Google one, but does show up in the menu of Spotify?

Thanks for all the great videos, but am I the only one who seems to be missing the google home routines section in the app, both in my phone and ipad?
Can still use my old goodmorning routine but cant find anywhere to setup a new routine.

Cheers

The hard-to-find italian whitely battle because carpenter technologically travel lest a dusty discovery. impossible, hateful option

This was a reallly good video, more power to you!

i don’t have the routines button is there another way to set it up?

Is this just working in US? Cant finde Routine button i google home?

Hi thanks for your helpful video. I just got the newest chromecast GoogleTV device and I use it on a Samsung SmartTV. Question: if I buy the Samsung HW-Q950T Soundbar system set, would I be able to group that surround speaker set using Google Home in combo with Nest and Nest mini.

Also, 2nd question. Can I play one thing on the TV + surround system but a family member can play something separate on a different speaker group in another section of the house?

Google assistant routines are useless,they don't work, Google assistant is so overrated it's unbelievable.

Google assistant routines are useless,they don't do anything,AI assistants are so overrated and utterly pointless.

It was incredibly hard to find the custom response function!

Why my google routine suddenly disappeared?. Cant find in the apps
