For information on how to add a Google Home Speaker to your Google Home, go to the Google Help Center or search online.

Once these 3 steps have been completed, it's time to pair your bot to the Google Home app.

Step 1: Getting required information from the bObsweep app

'- Open the bObsweep app. On the top right corner, tap the menu icon.
- Click “Alexa / Google Assistant” at the bottom of the menu. Then choose “Google Assistant”.
- Scroll down until you see “copy email address and password”. Copy or write down the email and password displayed, or keep this page open and proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Connecting your bot to Google Home

- Tap on the app to select it.
- You will be prompted to enter the email address and password from Step 1.
- Once all information is entered correctly, click “Next Step”, then, “Authorize”.
- You will then be asked to choose a home and room for your device. This will help keep your Google Home organized.
- Back on the “Devices” page, your bot will be visible under his nickname in the appropriate room. You can start and stop your bot by clicking on him, and you can access more settings (including docking) with a long click.
