Great idea. Needs improvements. For my lights I need to have 2 widgets, one for on and another one for off. It would be nice if you could arrange it so when I touch a light widget, for example the kitchen light, if it is on it turns off and if it's off it turns on. So I don't have to have so many widgets.

Almost perfect. I've been looking for a widget that will execute routines that I've set up through Google home with the tap of an icon instead of having to speak. This does that perfectly! But the widget always has a weird gray background from the edge of the icon/picture to the boundary of the area you set it to. That unused space should be clear instead of fixed gray. Otherwise, great app.

This is fairly good, but I wish you could turn off voice response as well. I tried to use it to make a big shortcut to an app, on my desktop, but I don't need my phone anouncing "Opening Honeywell Home" every time I touch the button. The odd thing is that if I activate Google Assistant, and type in the command it doesn't anounce the action. So this app shouldn't make the announcement, but it does. Too bad.

Everything I try, "open Google keep", "open notifications", and even the stock, suggested actions: "tell me the time", "what is the weather today in Omaha", " display my emergency contact information", "adjust lights to bedtime mode", every single one of them just gives a toast pop up that says "Gemini doesn't support this feature". Completely and totally useless.

Giving this app a second try. Working pretty well so far, as I like being able to customize smart home controls and set up one of my home screens as a remote for lights, music, TV, etc. But the fact that the Assistant pops up (glitchy) every time is annoying, sometimes taking up my entire screen. Isn't one of the purposes of this app to simplify these actions? If I wanted to interact with assistant that much, I would be using an actual app like Google Home or... wait for it... Google Assistant.
