Only when using \"OK, Google\" or \"Hey, Google\" will it start recording your question in order for Google Assistant to fulfill your request. You can always delete all your recordings via \"My activity\" settings under your Google Account.","ArticleType":"FAQ__kav"},{"attributes":{"type":"Knowledge__kav","url":"/services/data/v45.0/sobjects/Knowledge__kav/ka21Y000000SX87QAG"},"Title":"HK CITATION: Programmable Presets","Id":"ka21Y000000SX87QAG","ArticleNumber":"000010831","Question__c":"How to create and add Presets","Answer__c":"In our latest update for Citation, we added a couple of new features.
We are going to talk about our new programmable preset feature.

With this feature, you can add a voice command such as "Turn off the lights in the Bedroom" or "Play my playlist Rock road classic" without using your voice.
Once you have recorded the action, you will see an icon on your Citation display. Tap on this specific recorded command, and the Citation will do all the magic for you!

Enough of what it can do, let us create a preset:\n
  1. Scroll down on your Citation Display to you see "Voice presets."
  2. Press on the + sign.
  3. Say your command: Play Radio FM\n\t
    1. Do not use "Hey or OK, Google at this point."
    \n\t
  4. Press the "V" icon after the command is finished.
  5. Select an icon.
  6. Your Preset is now ready, tap it to give it a try.
\nTo delete any presets.\n\n
  • Press and hold down the preset.
  • A menu will appear, hit the "TRASHCAN" icon.

When you press this button, the current volume level will temporarily decrease and the Google Voice Assistant will begin listening for your command. \r\nThe reason you need to use the remote control is that Google Assistant does not support Multi-channel audio from your source device (TV, BlueRay Player or TV-BOX) and therefore the mic is automatically muted unless the Google Voice Assistant button is pressed.\r\nThis may be different in the future with new software updates.\r\n\r\nGoogle Voice Assistant is always listening when streaming music over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.","ArticleType":"FAQ__kav"},{"attributes":{"type":"Knowledge__kav","url":"/services/data/v45.0/sobjects/Knowledge__kav/ka21Y000000SVLzQAO"},"Title":"HK Citation: 4 Amber LEDS","Id":"ka21Y000000SVLzQAO","ArticleNumber":"000008757","Question__c":"The 4 LED dots change to amber on my Citation speaker.
