Google^® Home

Google^® Home is the OG (standing, in this case, for Original Google^®) home assistant. More expensive than its smaller counterpart, the original Google^® smart home device has a proprietary charging port, which may be inconvenient, but the rest of the features put it a cut above other home assistants:

Deep bass and good sound quality for music
A sensitive microphone that picks up your commands
Touch controls not dependent on voice activation

Google^® Home Mini

The Google^® Home Mini does not offer as comprehensive a solution as the OG, but at less than half the price, it’s a good entry point for the home assistant n00b. Unlike the original Google^® Home, it does not feature comprehensive touch controls. With little bass power and low volume, it’s not as good for listening to tunes. But it has its advantages:

Unobtrusive design with multiple color options
Universal charging via Micro USB
Entry-level price point

1% growth

In a year-over-year comparison between January 2018 and January 2019, Google^® Home has grown in smart home assistant market share by more than 5% while Amazon^® has shrunk by more than 10%.

Google^® Home Features

From Google^® Home light control by voice to hands-free searching—handy for checking a recipe when your hands are dirty—you can do a lot with Google^® Home as part of your Vivint home automation and security system.

Smart Home Integration

Google^® Home integrates easily with your Vivint system, making simple voice control possible. Your command is its wish.

High-Excursion Audio

Google^® Home’s integrated high-excursion speaker brings both booming bass and vivid high tones to your home for the perfect music mix.

Google^® Assistant

Search, Maps, and other Google^® features you’ve come to know and love are now part of your home. Ask and get answers right away.

Smart Home Integration

Adding Google^® Home or Google^® Home Mini to your smart home means easy, personalized voice control for all your smart devices. Adjust the lights, lock the doors, set alarms or timers, even place hands-free calls to family and friends. Just say “Hey Google” and your home assistant, and by extension your whole Vivint smart home, will respond.

Precise, Professional Installation by Vivint Smart Home Pros™

Of course your Google smart home assistant works with a voice command, but we’re not at the point where you can say out loud “install my system” to have the assistant do it for you. Yet. That’s why our Vivint Smart Home Pros™ will integrate Google^® Home with your Vivint equipment upon installation—and teach you how to use it.

Unlock Voice Control by Syncing Vivint with Other Smart Hubs

Intelligent and friendly, the Vivint Smart Hub™ gets along with Google^® Home to give you hands-free control.
