Dimming

- “OK Google, set the room name to warm white” → 2700K
- The room name (group name) is the name set in the Base system.
- If voice recognition is difficult even though the connections and settings of each device are correct, we recommend changing the room name (group name).
(When converting voice to text, the intended kana/kanji/alphabetic characters may not be displayed.)
Example responses when voice recognition is not possible: “Sorry, the device cannot be recognized. Please specify the device name.” “Sorry, we were unable to understand you.” - To change the room name (group name) or add a room (group), please do so in the Base system and refresh the screen in the Google Assistant (Google Home) app.
- If you change the room name (group name) in the Google Assistant (Google Home) app, it may not operate correctly.
- The maximum number of rooms (groups) that can be controlled by global operations is 30.
