- The Google Home application has received an update with some new practical features.
- Users can now access the new Google Home automation editor function, as well as features such as new hot water controls
- Google is also preparing for an Home Big Smart launch event on October 1, when another application update will be presented along with new devices
The GEMINI event for Google Home is just around the corner, and the company is giving Google application a very necessary image change to match the announcement of its new range of intelligent domestic devices.
Google has shared details about the new features that it has just implemented in the update of the most recent application (version 3.40), in which we will submerge below. The company is also preparing to launch an even greater update (version 3.41), but the details of this will not reach the day of the Gemini event for the home on October 1.
In addition to the new functions of Google Home, the application has also received errors of errors to solve design problems when configuring devices, as well as accessibility problems to establish lock.
Together with the next great update of Google Home, we expect the highly anticipated arrival of the Gemini functions for smart home hardware. There is also the question of the new Google Nest devices that we have been waiting for years, especially the new Google Home speaker, which is inclined to have an audio update Big 360.
As mentioned, everyone will be announced during the GEMINI for Home of Google event on October 1, so we can only venture an assumption about what we hope will be announced. But what we can share with you are the handful of new functions in the recent update of Google Home, and are available to try it now.
1. Automation editor
One of the most notable changes in the Google Home update is its new automation editor, update the interface and introduce ‘conditions’ for the first time. You can now add conditions to automation as days of the week, device status and presence, which makes your automates “more personal and intelligent than ever” according to Google.
2. New water controls and thermostat characteristics
Google has improved support for older Nest thermostat models by adding hot water controls and programming functions for the first time. Its ecological controls and their outdoor temperature characteristics have also been improved, however, these functions are available only for users of the United Kingdom and the EU.
3. Event filters
Users can now filter events directly from the event view of a camera filtering the types of events, including the person, the vehicle and others. Although this is a new addition, the option of filtering events in its activity tab is still there.
4. Suggested favorites
Do you have multiple devices recorded in your Google Home application? The latest update provides easier access to its most used devices. If you have no marked ‘favorites’, you can find suggested devices in the favorite tab that can be edited at any time.
