Your routines will now start when you arrive or leave a set location.<\/p>\n Google Assistant<\/a> now has a handy new routines feature that triggers your preset commands when it detects your location, saving you the trouble of telling the digital assistant that “someone’s home” or “everyone’s leaving.”<\/p>\n The search giant has rolled out a new starter in Assistant routines for when you’re at home or away, as spotted by 9to5Google<\/a>. Like the automated presence sensing that arrived last year, the new feature gives you pretty much the same controls over your smart home devices. However, it provides a more straightforward setting than presence sensing, which can be quite a chore most of the time.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n It also uses your location data to trigger your pre-programmed actions. Within the household routines, there is now a new starter called “When the user arrives\/leaves” under “Home” or “Away.” You can tap it to open a dedicated page where you must add a specific location that triggers your routines based on whether you’re arriving or departing.<\/p>\n The new capability makes triggering the best smart light bulbs<\/a> and thermostats a lot easier. For example, you can program a location near your house to turn on your lights a few minutes before you arrive. It’s more reliable than presence sensing, which relies on your phone detecting that you’ve arrived home.<\/p>\n You will also get notifications once your routines begin running. The new location trigger is available in the Google Home app and in Assistant’s settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Your routines will now start when you arrive or leave a set location.<\/p>\n What you need to know<\/p>\n Google Assistant routines have added a new location trigger.
