Formula #001 — Smart Holiday Lights
Make your holidays interactive with a few simple steps. What you’ll need is a Wyze Plug, a Google assistant, holiday lights, and a smart phone/tablet with the latest versions of the Google Home and Wyze apps installed. Using these devices, we are going to create a routine where you can say something like, “Hey Google, Happy Holidays!” and your holiday lights will magically turn on in a single surge of joyous color and awe! We’ll walk you through step-by-step on how to set this up and customize it for your own home.

STEP 1 — Login to your Wyze app to set up Wyze Plug(s). For information on how to get the Wyze app, click here.
STEP 2 — Go through the setup process for Wyze Plug(s). You can find out how here.
STEP 3 — Plug in holiday lights of your choice into Wyze Plug(s).
STEP 4 — Link your Wyze account with your Google Home app. We walk you through how to do that here.
STEP 5 — Set up your routine within the Google Home app. Touch Routines>Manage Routines>Add a Routine. Under the When category, you will want to select Add Commands and write what you would like your trigger phrase to be for the routine. In our case, we use ‘Happy Holidays.’
STEP 6 — Under Assistant Will and Add Action, touch Browse Popular Actions to select Adjust Lights, Plugs, and More. Tap the checkbox and then tap the gear icon on the right side. Under the gear icon, you should see your Wyze Plug(s). If you do not see them, go back to Step 4 to make sure your Wyze account is linked to Google. Choose the device you would like to turn on and select Turn On in the dropdown on the right. Make sure to touch Ok at the top to save.
STEP 7 — Now when you’re back on the Browse Popular Actions screen you can add a few more actions if you would like. In our case, we added it so that Google would say ‘Happy Holidays’ back to us. Once you are done setting these actions, touch Add at the top right. Now that you’re back on the New Routine setup screen you can either save or add another step. We added Media so that with this routine, Google can also play holiday music. Once you have this all worked out, touch the Save button on the top right!
STEP 8 — Test for success!
The same setup can be done with Alexa using Alexa’s routines instead.
