A Quick Guide On How To Use Google Assistant with Your Connector App

The Connector+ App is designed to integrate seamlessly with popular smart home platforms, including Google Assistant. By linking your MaxiSMART® blinds and awnings to Google, you can enjoy hands-free voice control and advanced home automation features.

Step 1: Confirm Setup in Connector+

Before linking to Google Assistant, ensure your blinds or awnings are already connected and working in the Connector+ App. Each device should be named clearly (e.g. Living Room Blind) to make voice commands easier.

Step 2: Open Google Home App

On your smartphone, open the Google Home app. Tap the “+” button to add a new device.

Step 3: Link Connector+ App

Select Set up device → Works with Google.
Search for Connector+ in the partner list.
Log in with your Connector+ account credentials to link.

Step 4: Assign Devices to Rooms

Once linked, Google Home will show your connected blinds. Assign each blind to the correct room in your Google Home app for better organisation and room-based voice commands.

Step 5: Use Voice Commands

After setup, you can use natural voice commands with Google Assistant, such as:

“Hey Google, open the living room blind.”
“Hey Google, close the bedroom blinds.”
“Hey Google, set the office blind to 50%.”

Benefits of Google Assistant Integration

Hands-free control for added convenience.
Room-based management to simplify commands.
Flexible automation when combined with Google routines (e.g. blinds open automatically with your morning alarm).

Summary

By linking the Connector+ App with Google Assistant, you can control your MaxiSMART® blinds with simple voice commands and integrate them into your wider smart home system. It’s a fast, convenient way to bring smart automation into your daily routine.
