Can the Gen 2 Wi-Fi Alarm (Smart Life) be controlled with Google Home?

3 min. readlast update: 10.29.2025

Yes. Smart Life integrates with Google Home, and the alarm panel can respond to voice or app-based commands. The key is enabling the correct device category and permissions inside Smart Life.


🎯 What can be controlled through Google Home?

Once linked properly:

  • Arm the system in Away mode

  • Arm the system in Home mode

  • Disarm the system (requires a secure workflow such as a PIN)

Example voice commands:

  • “Hey Google, arm my security system to away.”

  • “Hey Google, set home mode on security system.”

  • “Hey Google, disarm the security system.” (Google will ask for a PIN)


🛠 Setup Steps

1️⃣ In Smart Life app

  • Open the alarm panel settings

  • Create a PIN code
    - Select Setting


    - Scroll to the bottom and select 'Virtual Password'

    - Select the 4 circles

    and enter a 4 digit number, then select 'Confirm'

    , then 'Confirm' again.

2️⃣Link Smart Life to Google Home

  1. Open the Google Home app

  2. Tap + in the top right

  3. Choose Set up a device

  4. Select Works with Google

  5. Search for Smart Life

  6. Sign into your Smart Life account in the Google Home App

  7. Choose your alarm and assign it to a room
       
     

3️⃣ Test Voice Commands

Try these:

  • “Ok Google, set "name of Gen 2"  to away mode.”

  • “Ok Google, set "name of Gen 2" to home mode.”

  • “Ok Google, disarm "name of Gen 2".
    Google will ask for your PIN.

For example as shown in the image below, the name of the Gen 2 is "Gen 2 Test' so I would then say:

  • “Ok Google, set Gen 2 Test to away mode.” Then,
  • “Ok Google, disarm Gen 2 Test."
  • Google will ask "Can I have your Pin"
  • It then responded, disarming Gen 2 Test"

You can also check status:

  • “Ok Google, is the Gen 2 Test armed?”

  • Google repsonded: "Gen 2 test is disarmed'


⚠️ Important Notes

  • Disarming requires a spoken PIN for security.

  • Feature availability may vary based on region and firmware.

  • Routines can automate arming, but Google will not disarm automatically inside a routine for safety reasons.
