The Google Home app has gained a new feature that allows users to control a variety of smart devices. This incluedes TVs, fans, air purifiers, and vacuum cleaners. This is a welcome development for users of these devices, as it allows them to easily control and manage their smart home using the app. Here are the details…
The Google Home allow users to control compatible TVs running Android TV or Google TV, as well as devices connected to Nest Hub. These controls include the ability to adjust volume, mute, power on and off, play and pause, change channels, and select a source. These features were previously available for Nest Hub devices, and are now being rolled out for the Google Home app via a server-side update. According to user reports, the changes can be seen in the Google Home app (version 2.62.1.9).
However, it should be noted that these controls are currently only available for a limited number of users, and are not yet widely rolled out. Additionally, the controls on the Google Home app differ from those on Google Cast-enabled TVs and Android TVs, which are controlled through the media controls. Reports indicate that LG and Samsung TV owners are seeing changes in the Google Home app, but it is unclear when this feature will be widely available to all users.
The new Google Home feature makes it easier to use and manage these devices trough their smartphone or tablet. It is unclear when the full roll-out of these controls will take place, but it is likely to happen in the near future.
