Tap the microphone at the bottom of the screen. The Alarm.com account is now synced with Google Home. Verify you are logged into your Google account in the Google Assistant app.
That said, at least you can see what alarms and timers are currently active, and you can delete them without having to listen to Google Home list them all out for you. Just tap the X to the right of an alarm or timer. Another way to stop your alarm is by simply tapping on the device. If you have a Google Home 2nd generation, tap the top of the device to stop your alarm.
How to set a music or radio alarm with Google Assistant
Google Home has two versions Displays and Speakers, and for now there is not a method to change alarm tones in Google Home Speakers, but only on Home Displays. To do so, you would need to set a media alarm. Imagine waking up to your favorite song from Spotify! Well, that’s possible with the help of music alarms in Google Home. For that, first, you need to set a default music provider in the Google Home app.
Swipe up from the bottom of your screen, and tap Alarms. Alarm will sound for 10 minutes if not turned off. You only need to do this once, after which it will be synced with your alarm. The Gentle Sleep and Wake process will take place over 30 minutes to imitate sunrise and sunset.
Cool Things to Know about Google Home Alarms
From here, you can set an alarm by tapping the plus sign in the bottom right corner. Have you set a song as a Google Home alarm using voice commands? Which song did you choose for your alarm?
That’s because there’s a separate controller for alarm and timer volume. To set an alarm on Google Home without voice, you’ll need to use the Google Home app. Once you have the app open, tap the Devices icon in the top right corner. Then, select your Google Home device from the list. Next, tap the Alarms icon on the main screen.
Method 1: With Your Voice
You can also use the premium options the services offer, if you have a subscription to it. It works with songs, playlists and radio stations. As with the beeping alarm, it will only play on the speaker you've set it on. Keep in mind that your Google Home speakers need to be connected to the Wi-Fi when you use the voice command. The Google Home media alarm feature is currently available in English, German, French, Spanish, and Japanese on all Google Home speakers and Google Nest displays. To use the alarm clock features on Google Home, you’ll need to first set up your device and then create an alarm.
Alarms will sound for 10 minutes if not stopped or snoozed. Google Assistant smart speakers with displays, like the Nest Hub, of course, also feature dedicated clock displays with a range of digital faces to choose from. However, you can also choose to use a regular Google Home smart speaker, such as the Nest Home Mini.
Video-only users of Alarm.com cannot use the Google Home integration. Note that while Google Nest Smart Speakers, such as Google Nest Hub and Google Nest Mini, are compatible with Alarm.com Commands, Google Nest Smart Devices are not. Also, the primary language for Google Home should be set to English for the ADC-Home integration to work properly. Even though you can check and cancel Google Home alarms from your phone, you cannot create an alarm from either phone or computer. But, you can set a reminder from both phone and PC, and Google Home will remind you about that. You can view the active alarms for your Google Home device in two ways — using voice and from the Google Home app.
You can stop the alarm on Google Home either by voice commands or using the touch on your device. Last year, Google introduced the functionality of turning off the alarm by simply saying Stop. Yes, you don’t have to say Okay Google before the word stop. So when the alarm starts ringing, just say stop. To set an alarm, say "Hey Google, set alarm for 6 AM tomorrow," or swipe up from the bottom of your display and tap Alarms, and then set a time.
Many devices allow you to do this by pressing and holding the home button. A menu bar should appear on the lower portion of your device. From the menu bar, swipe up to access Google Assistant Snapshot. You should then verify that the correct Google account is logged-in.
Assuming that an account is not yet linked, Google Assistant will say that it needs to link your Alarm.com account to Google, and it will ask for permission to do so. The alarms also work on Google Assistant smart displays. Interestingly, you can even set a music alarm, stop the alarm from your phone, and do many other cool things. Now the smart speakers are turning into the new alarm clocks.
With the simple push of a button, I am able to control the status quo of said electronic. However, this comes with it's downsides. This app is hit or miss on whether it will work properly. When it doesn't, it absolutely doesn't and most likely will continue to not work for several days in a row.
Giving verbal commands to my Google home results in lots of glitches lately. Too easy to accidentally turn a light off when trying to dim or charge colors. If you want to change the volume of your general alarm on Google Home, you’ll have to use the Google Home app that you had previously installed on your phone or tablet. Ensure that your phone has a strong Wi-Fi connection and that it’s the same connection that that your Google Home or Google Nest speaker is linked to.
