Google provides Gemini’s smart home control to everyone. The Google Home extension of the GEMINI app allows you to adjust smart lighting, thermostat, speakers, and other compatible devices as long as you are connected to the Google account, and some new features are added.
Google previewed this extension for the first time last November. By using this, you can use a natural language to control your smart home when interacting with GEMINI. For example, you can close your smart blinds by saying, “The sun in the living room is too bright.” But now, Gemini can also execute multiple requests such as “lighting the armrests, but the kitchen lamp is darkened”. With Google Home extension, you can also ask Gemini about the status of the device, such as whether or not the porch lights were turned on.
In addition, Google allows you to control “non -sensitive” smart home devices such as lighting from the lock screen of your mobile phone. Other updates include the functions of adjusting, pause, and resuming smart speakers, displays, TV media in the Gemini app, and the latest thermostat control design that matches the thermostat control design in Google Home. 。 Gemini automatically opens the Google Home app to perform the security -related action of cameras and locks (previously only linked to users).
The release of Google Home extensions will allow you to run more complex tasks through multiple apps following a major update of Gemini. You can try the integration by signing in to Gemini with the same account used for Home and turning on Google Home extensions. It will be released today, but will be “within the next few weeks”.
