How-to try this at home with the Google Assistant

Learn how to add your Google Assistant to your next experiment. Inspired by Action Lab’s custom safety check routine in his video about predicting randomness: https://youtu.be/4xViPStT5II

Here’s how:
Step 1: Grab what you need - Your phone, the Google Assistant, one smart plug, a warning light, safety goggles, and a Google mini

Step 2: Create & name your new routine “Let’s try this at home”

Step 3: Connect warning light to smart plug

Step 4: Add warning light to routine

Step 5: Add a "Say something" action, via the "popular actions" link. The "Say something" is “Don’t forget your safety goggles”

Step 6: Add a custom broadcast to announce you’re experimenting

Step 7: Try this at home and say, “Hey Google, let’s try this at home”
