At the moment, you can switch Philips Hue lamps on/off and change the brightness and colours with Goole Home. The lamps must be assigned to predefined rooms (hallway, living room, bedroom, etc.) using the Google Home app. More information about the commands at https://support.google.com/googlehome...

It depends on what you expect from Google Assistant with the PC or Nintendo Switch? Turn it on or off?
The Google Home setup etc. only works with the iOS or Android app, of course you can run this app with an Android emulator on Windows, but who does that :).
You can control Chromecast compatible devices though, and with Chrome and appropriate plugins also on PC.
Tradfri can be easily integrated directly with the Tradfri Gateway in the Google Home, alternatively via Hue Bridge. The lamps can then be controlled by voice.

No, unfortunately this is not yet possible :(
Unfortunately, I cannot tell you when this will be possible.
So we have to wait and hope ;)

No can do.

Google Home is better by far. The voice recognition is better -> The functions are more diverse. The only place where Alexa may (still) have a head start is with controllable devices. But Google is quickly catching up there.
I already had both, and now only use the Google Home exclusively.
Both color variants can be found here: Google Nest Audio (Google Assistant)
Ja, ist es.

The quality for listening to music is much better. We have the Mini in the kitchen to listen to the radio and music and as a "Wikipedia"...the Google Home in the living room.
Unfortunately, we cannot currently offer any spare parts or accessories, as we do not have a source of supply for these.
It works, I tested it just to be sure. I use the Assistant in English (UK) and German. You can make the settings in the Home app.
Yes, that works. However, the alarm clock must be programmed by voice control...
Hello Jacobo.perez
Thank you for your question.
No, this feature is currently only available in the USA. Unfortunately, I can't tell you when it will be available here as well ;)
Best regards

This is also the case with us. Google Home obviously recognises the person's voice and can assign it to the accounts if both are registered. For example, it plays the last playlist from my girlfriend's account when she gives the command to play music and mine.
The whole thing works fine, but you have to brush up on your Sunday German. Understandably, Swiss German is not possible. I have integrated my IKEA smart lighting, the AV receiver and the Huawei robot hoover, and it all works very well.
You are using the wrong language. Change to German (Germany) in your mobile phone, then it should work.
Except for the mains connection part, which may need an adapter, YES, as far as I know. At least without restrictions that don't also apply here - you have to speak High German with it, for example.

Download the app "IFTTT" - there are various possibilities. There are also many tutorials on youtube.
Not supported.

Samsung TVs can be connected, controlled and switched on via Cromecast (hdmi connector).
I have not yet managed to use Swisscom as a media server...
No. If the device only supports Spotify Connect, it will not work. However, many devices that can handle Spotify Connect often also have chromecast built in.
As far as I know, Google Home can only play content via Chromecast. I have a Chromecast on my hi-fi system and a Sony device with Chromecast built-in. I can play music with Google Home on both devices without any problems.
Hello. No problem, mine is in French. It's the Google Home account that determines the language
Open the Google Home app. Open the hamburger menu at the top left. Open more settings. Open Shortcuts. Press the plus button. Note: unfortunately it is not possible to link several commands together, only relatively simple shortcuts work.

Yes, but I had to set the language of the operating system on the smartphones to English. However, this is only necessary for the configuration of the speech recognition, after which it can be switched back to German.

As a format it is obvious, smaller, more practical and less expensive, different sound, for the work it has to do at home level no difference, it responds and does the same thing as its big brother.
