- The Google TV Streamer home panel arrives on more devices
- Obliges you to have a house configured in the Google Home application
- Includes video notifications and live bells
One of the things we really like in the Google TV streamer is its home panel, which allows you to control your smart home devices from your TV. And now it happens on more Google devices.
The Home panel was originally exclusive to streamer, but Google clearly indicated that the plan was to deploy it more widely by launching a public overview. This overview has now become a deployment, which means that it is available for Chromecast and Google TVS devices.
Not only that, but Google deploys it on models that have long been abandoned, including certain older chromecastes and hoissense televisions.
How to get the home panel on your chromecast or Google TV
According to 9TO5GOOGLE, the update means that you will get a contextual window on your compatible device the next time you use it. He will ask you if you want to configure the home panel, and if you do, this will make you step by step in the process.
It seems that all the features of the streamer are present and correct, including the notifications of nest bell; control of lights, thermostats and speakers; Live from the cameras; and quick access directly from the quick parameter panel.
In addition to adding the feature to your TV or Chromecast, you will also need to have a home house in the Google Home application. This should be the same house that your Google TV is a part; If there is no configuration at home, you will not get the notification of the reception panel.
And finally, you will have to be an adult. Google does not want children to do not want to get their hands on all your intelligent house controls.
