Beakn Smart Home Manual

What it does

Your Beakn switches are not locked to one system. You can link them to Google Home and Alexa, and use the Beakn app, all at once. Whichever one you use, all of them stay updated.

How to use it

1. Link your Beakn switches to Google Home.
2. Also link them to Alexa.
3. Keep using the Beakn app too.
4. Use whichever is nearest at the moment.

Good to know

When the bedroom Echo turns off a light, the Beakn app and Google Home both show the new state. Nothing falls out of sync.

Real-life example

• Your living room has a Google Nest Mini, your bedroom has an Amazon Echo Dot, and in the kitchen you use the Beakn app. All three control the same switches without any conflict.

What it does

Voice is the easiest control method for people who can't or don't want to use an app. A grandparent and a child can both control the home just by speaking.

How to use it

1. Put an Echo Dot or Nest Mini in each room your parents use.
2. Teach them one simple line: "Say 'Alexa' (or 'Hey Google'), then what you want."
3. That's the whole user manual.

Real-life example

• Your mother doesn't use a smartphone. But she can say "Alexa, turn on the fan," and it works. For a joint family with elderly parents, this is what makes the smart home truly useful for everyone.

What it does

Guests can control your home by voice through your Echo or Nest speakers — without the Beakn app, without being a registered user, and without your phone.

How to use it

1. No setup is needed for the guest.
2. The guest simply speaks to the speaker in the room, for example: "Hey Google, turn on the bathroom light."

Real-life example

• A guest at your dinner needs the bathroom light. They don't have the app, but they just say "Hey Google, turn on the bathroom light" and it works. No guest account, no app install, no fuss.

What it does

This shows how a fully set-up Beakn home feels when Google, Alexa, Apple, and the app all work together — the right control method in every room and every situation.

How it looks in a real home

• Bedroom Echo Dot: "Alexa, good night" → all lights OFF, AC to 24°C, fan to speed 2.
• Kitchen Nest Mini: "Hey Google, dinner time" → kitchen and dining lights ON, TV OFF, announcement plays.
• Living room: the Beakn app on your phone, or Apple Home through HomeSync.
• Bathroom: "Hey Google, turn on the exhaust" — perfect when your hands are wet.
• Parents' room: an Echo Dot with simple voice commands — no app training needed.

Real-life example

• Every room and every family member has the right interface — voice for hands-free moments, the app for detailed control, widgets for quick taps, and physical switches for guests. One home, many easy ways to control it, with no monthly subscription.
