The Google Home app has transformed from a dedicated Chromecast setup utility into a sophisticated, Gemini-powered command center for the entire smart home. This evolution provides continuous value by centralizing fragmented device controls into an intelligent, AI-driven interface that proactively manages security, comfort, and automation for users.
Control your entire smart home ecosystem through natural language queries powered by Gemini AI. Instead of manual toggling, users can simply state their intent—such as 'prepare the living room for a movie'—and the app intelligently coordinates lighting, media, and climate across all connected devices.
Create a custom command center by pinning your most-used devices, lights, and routines to the main screen for instant access. This minimizes navigation time and provides an immediate overview of your home's status, ensuring that essential controls like security locks are always one tap away.
Monitor Nest cameras through a high-speed, intuitive interface featuring AI-powered event labeling for people, animals, vehicles, and packages. The seamless vertical scrubbing allows users to review significant security events quickly without needing to manually search through hours of recorded footage.
Centralize the creation and management of complex smart home routines within a dedicated Automations tab. Users can easily configure multi-step sequences—such as adjusting the thermostat and arming the security system when leaving—to improve both home safety and energy efficiency.
Stay informed with a chronological history of all home events and an intelligent inbox for critical alerts. This ensures users are immediately notified of important occurrences, such as a doorbell ring or an open garage door, allowing for an immediate response directly from the feed.
Seamlessly integrate and control tens of thousands of compatible smart home devices from various manufacturers within a single interface. This centralized hub eliminates the need for multiple brand-specific apps, providing a cohesive experience for managing lighting, security, and home entertainment.
