Google’s Gemini For Home event is fast approaching, and the company offers the Google Home application a youthful cure necessary to coincide with the announcement of its new range of intelligent home devices.
Google has shared details on the new features it has just deployed in the last application update (version 3.40), in which we will dive below. The company is also preparing to deploy an even larger update (version 3.41), but the details of this will not arrive before the day of the Gemini for Home event on October 1.
In addition to the new features of Google Home, the application also received bug corrections to solve layout problems when configuring peripherals as well as accessibility to adjustment.
In addition to the next big update of Google Home, we expect the long -awaited arrival of Gemini functions for the equipment of the smart house. There is also the question of new Google nest devices that we are waiting for years, in particular the new Google Home speaker, which should have a large 360 audio upgrade.
As mentioned, all will be revealed during the Gemini for Home event in Google on October 1, so at the moment, we can only venture on what we plan to be announced. But what we can share with you is the handful of new features of the recent update of Google Home, and they are available so that you can try now.
1. Automation editor
One of the most notable changes in Google Home’s update is its new automation editor, upgrading the interface and the introduction of “conditions” for the first time. You can now add conditions to automation such as the days of the week, the state of the device and the presence, which makes your automation “more personal and more intelligent than ever” according to Google.
2. New water controls and thermostat characteristics
Google has improved the management of the old models of Nest thermostat by adding hot water controls and planning features for the first time. Its ecological commands and outdoor temperature features have also been improved, but these functions are only available for Use and EU users.
3. Event filters
Users can now filter events directly from the view of the events of a camera by filtering the types of events, including the person, the vehicle and others. Although it is a new addition, the option of filtering events in your activity tab is still there.
4. Favorites suggested
Do you have several devices connected to your Google Home application? The latest update gives you easier quick access to your most used devices. If you do not have reported “favorites”, you can find suggested devices in the favorite tab that can be changed at any time.
