I couldn’t find anything about this being released but I thought I’d share this with the community. It looks like you can now control smart things routines Natively from the Google home/Google assistance. I recently had to reset everything and when I went to add smart things back to my Google home account all my routines now showed up!
Basically to activate a routine you just ask Google to “turn on” that routine and it works!
Thanks @jkp I would have never found that info in the middle of that thread. I appreciate you pointing it out. I guess my ninja google search skills failed me…
