What Can the Google Smart Assistant
The Google Smart Home Assistant can perform the following functions:
- Ask Questions about Room Temperature and Humidity Level.
The KODAK Cherish Camera has some sensors for measuring common atmospheric properties in the room, like temperature and humidity level. Hence, it can give accurate info about those parameters when asked such questions.
Example: "Okay, Google, What's the humidity level in the Bedroom?"
- Control the Melodies
The Google Assistant can also help to control Kodak Cherish's audio player. With this feature, play soothing sounds for their babies. They can also switch between lullabies stored in the storage memory. Added to that, they can mute the audio, record video from the room, etc.
A typical example of such command is:
"Okay, Google, Set the Bedroom to "Melody one."
- Control the Motion Detection Settings
When monitoring pets and growing babies, this feature may come in handy. It allows you to set the motion setting to different security levels- high, low, disarmed, or disabled.
Such commands usually come in this format:
"Okay, Google, Set the Bedroom to "Low security," "Medium Security," "High Security."
