Since launch, we’ve been surprised at how long it has taken Google to roll this functionality out, but at this year’s Google I/O, the company assured everyone that it was coming. Well, a few months later and apparently it’s finally ready.
To use it, you’ll simply speak the command, “Ok Google, set a reminder…,” then you can say basically anything. You can remind yourself to take your meds, take out the trash, or anything else.
Here’s exactly what Google Home will do when a reminder is set.
When it’s time for your reminder your Google Assistant on Google Home will:
Say “I have a reminder for [name]” and the LED light on Google Home will flash. Then a single white light on Google Home will remain on for 10 minutes.
Hear the reminder by using one of these voice commands:
“Ok Google, what’s up?”
“Ok, Google, what are my notifications?”
“Ok Google, what are my reminders?”
After your Assistant reads your reminder, it will be marked as read.
According to the support rep I spoke with, if your Google Home says it still doesn’t support Reminders, go ahead and give it a reboot. That should get it working. If not, remain patient as the feature has just started rolling out.
It’s about darn time, Google!
