How to get Google Assistant to take action

To respond to your requests, Google Assistant uses the best available device. If you ask Google Assistant to "Play music," your speaker will play music instead of your phone because it provides the best audio.

It’s not always easy for Assistant to decide which device should respond to your request. To make sure your preferred device responds:

• Device placement: Check that your devices are at least 8 feet apart.
• Say device name: For some actions, you can say the device you’d like to use. For example, "Hey Google, play music on the bedroom speaker" or "Ok Google, turn on lights in the kitchen."
• Target certain devices: Based on the type of device, there are ways to show Google Assistant which device you intend to use for your request. Sometimes, it helps to move closer to the device.
  • Pixel Watch: Raise or move your wrist.
  • Nest Hub Max: If granted the right permissions, look at the device while you ask Google Assistant.
  • Phone and tablet: Make sure the screen faces up.
• Remotely control timers, alarms, and media: It’s possible to control ongoing timers, alarms, and media on other devices through a device closer to you. For example, if you want to stop a ringing alarm in your bedroom from your living room, say "Hey Google, stop the alarm." The device closest to you will stop the ringing alarm.
