Organize rooms and their devices

Browse rooms and add a new one

Home shows room choices with All first. Selecting a room filters the devices in view.

1. On Home, choose the room you want to view, or choose All to see everything in the home.
2. Select Add a room.Add a room
3. Pick one of the suggested room names, or type your own room name.
4. If you want a different appearance, change the icon before you save.
5. Select Save.Save

Afterward, the new room appears in the rooms strip. Creating a room does not add hardware, and a duplicate room name is refused.

Change a room

Open the selected room's settings to change how that room appears and how its assistant behaves.

1. Open the room from the rooms strip, then choose Home settings and open the room's settings.Home settings
2. Change Name or Icon if needed.
3. Use Listening to turn the assistant in that room on or off.
4. If you want quiet hours, enter both Quiet from and until in 24-hour form, or clear both fields to leave them off.
5. Choose the two actions on the tile from actions actually available in that room.
6. Select Save.Save

Afterward, the room keeps its new name, icon, assistant setting, quiet hours, and tile actions. Listening and quiet hours are separate settings. Both times must be set, or neither.

Move a device

Move a device to a different room from the device page on the phone. On the web, the room settings page also lists the members of that room and lets you choose a destination room.

1. Open the device's own page on the phone, or open the room settings page on the web.
2. Choose the room you want the device to move to.
3. Check that the device now appears in the new room.

A device and the assistant in the same room belong together automatically. There is no extra speaker-pairing procedure.

Merge or remove rooms

Use merge when two rooms should become one. Use removal when you want to delete a room instead.

1. On Home, choose Merge rooms.
2. Select two or more rooms.
3. Choose Room to keep.
4. Review the selected room names, then confirm the merge.
5. If you change your mind, choose Cancel to leave the rooms alone.
6. To remove a room, open that room's settings and use the separate removal confirmation.

Afterward, a merge moves the things from the selected rooms into the room you kept. Removing a room uses its own confirmation and names what will happen to the things in that room before you continue.

Permissions and troubleshooting

• Configuration may be managed by an installation partner.
• If a room or device change is not available, the page may still let you browse the home but not edit it.
• Nothing in this room yet is not a success message for an empty room; it means the room currently has no devices.
• A read error is not the same as an empty room.
• If Save is unavailable, check the room name, the quiet-hours times, and whether you have permission to configure the home.
