You can adopt smart home sensors now as their availability is increasing. Google provided details via a Reddit AMA about what’s coming with the Google Home app and revealed how it plans to bring those upgrades: a shiny new appearance and a ton of capabilities and other utilities. Here’s what you can expect: Here’s what you can expect:

No more internet dependence: Imagine being able to command your smart lights even when Wi-Fi is disconnected. Google is moving towards local operation mode, this way, devices will be able to work on your home network without using the Internet. Here, standard Miter smart home usage does much the same thing and also promises greater reliability.

Third-party cameras added: Problem with the Google Home app only having one shooting mode? you’re not alone. Google is now working with more partners and will eventually have more additional third-party cameras available for their integration efforts. Smart Nest cameras are easily set up via mobile application and other brands tend to have inconsistent operating system performance. No matter what, security is always the top priority, but more options in this regard will be added ‘soon’.

Beyond cameras: Introducing sensor support: By solving issues related to major sensor devices, Google Home becomes even more attractive to sensor users. The response to Google’s question about the Hue and Aqua sensors’ light level detection is largely guesswork. (“There are also signs of more sensors coming.”)

Pixel tablet gets a warm welcome: The much-awaited Pixel tablet will be waiting under the Nest Doorbell Flash Christmas tree. It’s still coming! Users have been waiting for this feature, and Google has confirmed that it will be delivered.

A clearer vision for the smart home: The users’ AMA also revealed the main feature users want: having a more robust and clear road map for both Google Home and Nest. Many people found this fact to be slow and this is also true for some of the recent findings of Assistant, Google has figured this out and has guaranteed the customers that it has no problems whatsoever for a seamless assistant device for all smart homes everywhere.

There is a complete strategy and roadmap to develop the incentive. Although the public roadmap was not made clear, it seems that Google is paying attention to the voices of consumers by responding to their feedback.

Overall, the AMA paints a favorable picture for the future of Google Home. With neighborhood controls, a wide range of supported devices, and a renewed focus on user desires, the Google Home app is on its way to becoming a better and more reliable smart home hub.
