Ooma now works with the Google Assistant so you can use your voice to control your Ooma system from a Google Home, an Android device, or an iOS device.

Capabilities

Stay in the know. Control by voice.

  • Check security status You don’t even need to get up from your sofa to learn the status of any sensor in your home. The Ooma Google Action will tell you whether any part of your Ooma Smart Security is in the alert state, like ifa particular door or window is open. It will also inform you if there are sensors whose battery will need to be replaced soon.

  • Disarm Allows you turn off the alarm by voice in the event that your smartphone isn’t around or has a dead battery. Before the system can be disarmed, you’ll need to provide your PIN code.
