Old thread bump time! :)

I broke down and got myself a Smart Control Hub last week and have been tweaking it for last few days to work together with my Google Home (via IFTTT). At first the process was a bit frustrating getting things just right but last night I FINALLY got things set the way I wanted.

So now everyone in fam can just say "Ok Google, watch Tivo" or "Watch DVD" etc and the A/V system switches modes and we're good to go. Then we just use the included remote to do the usual channel changing and volume stuff. I'm sure there is a way to do that via GH too but I haven't figured it out yet, then again I don't want to spend every moment saying "Ok Google", I'm fine with using a standard remote control. :)

So for now, it's a keeper.
