Node-RED (These steps need to happen only once)

1. Open your node-red instance and install node-red-contrib-smartnora. You can do this by clicking the hamburger menu in the top-right corner and select Manage palette, select Install, type node-red-contrib-smartnora and click the install button.

2. After installation is complete a new set of nodes shoud appear under nora category

Create a Smart NORA account (These steps need to happen only once)

1. Go to Smart NORA homepage
2. Create an account using your email address and a password
3. Verify your email address by clicking the link in the email

Create/Adapt a Node-RED flow

1. Create a new flow (or open the existing one you want to use) and add the Smart NORA nodes you plan to use. Each Smart NORA node will correspond to a Google Home device. In this case we are going to use a light node.

2. Edit the light node. Add a new nora-config (configs can be reused between multiple nora devices) in which you need to enter your credentials (email/password) used when you created your Smart NORA account. The Group is used if you want to use multiple connections to the same Smart NORA account (if you use multiple Node-RED instances - leave it blank if you don't plan on using multiple instances).

3. Deploy your flow

Link to Google Home (These steps need to happen only once)

Once you have at least one Smart NORA device you can link your Google Home to Smart NORA

1. Open your Google Home and click Add

2. In the Add and manage screen, select Set up device.

3. Select Have something already set up?

4. Select Smart NORA (in this image it's already linked) and login again with the account you created on the Smart NORA homepage.

The devices setup in Node-RED will sync with your Google Home and now you are able to control them via voice/routines/etc.
