I've recently got a Google Home and have created some simple applets. I've created one to run when I go to bed (it's in the living room). So when I say "Good night", I want it to turn the central heating off, turn the lights out and go silent (it may be playing music). I must admit I was astonished how limited IFTTT is, but I linked it to stringify so I could perform more than one action in an applet. However, I can't find anything to silence the Google Home. Has anyone any suggestions? Ideally through stringify but as a separate applet if necessary.

Apologies if there's somewhere obvious to find this information, googling for anything just gets a load of adverts!

For routines that I want to run silently, I add the custom command Turn on Night Mode at the beginning of the routine. This requires that you have previously gone to the device settings and set your Night Mode volume to 0%. You'll also probably want to add the custom command Turn off Night Mode at the end of the routine.

Unfortunately, the routine will only run silently when it is activated by voice (i.e. saying "Hey Google, [routine name]"). If the routine starts automatically at a specific time it will still make noise.

  • Starting yesterday, putting `Hey Google, turn on Night Mode` into a routine (or saying it to my Home Mini) gets an `I don't know how to do that` response. I haven't found a fix yet. – Josh Apr 09 '19 at 14:50
