This doesn’t seem to work with Google Home – the Elf app doesn’t show on the list of Google Home Control applications
Hello, you are correct. It seems the Elf app was removed from the list but will be added in again later this week. Once that happens I plan on uploading another video. Sorry for the confusion I’m not sure why it was removed.
Hello Pin, the Eques app is now in the Google Home app. You should now be able to control it using Google Assistant. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
