  • To check what alarms are coming up, say "Hey Google, what alarms are set?"

Feeling a lazy morning you can ask, "Hey Google, what time is it?" and to pause a specific alarm say "Hey Google, snooze alarm for seven minutes" to specify the time for pause.

You can use Google Home and Assistant as a smart alarm clock with some more commands. Like if you want to wake up on a specific song or radio station, you just need to instruct "Hey Google, play a music/media/radio alarm at 8.30am tomorrow".

However, the Assistant will ask you what to play. The feature is compatible with any songs, playlists and radio stations. With the beeping alarm, the selected music or radio starts to play on the speaker you've set it on.

This music is fetched from the default streaming service you've set up with your Google Home account. But if you are not connected to any wifi network then no regular alarm tone will sound.

Steps to Use Google Sleep Timer and Play Bedtime Sounds

Additionally, you set a sleep timer that itself stops playing after a specified period of time. The command can be like "Hey Google, play ambient sounds/noise," or, "Hey Google, play Bon Iver for 20 minutes."

The other way is to say "Hey Google, help me relax," or if you already turned on a playlist, podcast or audiobook then say, "Hey Google, stop in ten minutes,".

Steps to Create a Morning or Nighttime Routine with Google Home

You can use your one voice commands to set various Google Home Routines including preset routines such as multi-action, multi-device setups. Some commands are like "Hey Google, good morning" and, "Hey Google, it's bedtime".

Thereafter, if you have set up Voice Match, then you can easily set up customized routines for different users. For the morning routine, allow Assistant to turn your Android phone off silent, play music/radio/news, tell you the weather or latest updates just like other smart home devices.

Undoubtedly, this approach is much friendlier to initiate from your bedside table if you've got a Google Smart Display, featuring the new Home View control.

Specially customized for night time, alarms can be set for the morning. You can turn on Cast-enabled or Bluetooth speakers and TVs volume down, adjust the lights and temperature as personalized settings for bedtime. Sounds amazing, right?
