Assign your devices to rooms

With Google Home Control, you can control multiple lights as a group, through your smart Things devices in the room. First, add the cell to the Google home console and then assign the device to your cells.

Note: The set-up room at Google Home Control is completely different from the SmartThings app’s room. Google Assistant SmartThings will not be able to recognize the room and to control them by room with Google Assistant, you must allocate your devices to cells inside Google Home Control. Also, routines cannot be activated through a single command for a cell, so we do not recommend adding a routine to the room.
