Google Expands Smart Home Ecosystem with New Home APIs and TV Integration

Developers gain access to over 600 million devices, enabling advanced smart home solutions across iOS and Android.

Google's Home APIs allow developers to integrate smart home functionalities into their apps, supporting both Matter and Works with Google devices.
Google TV, including Chromecast and select LG models, will function as Google Home hubs and Matter controllers with local device control.
Initial partners like ADT and Eve Systems are leveraging the APIs to enhance their smart home offerings, including secure access features and energy management.
The new APIs facilitate seamless integration of smart home devices with various applications, from fitness to delivery services.
Google's move aims to make smart home technology more mainstream and accessible by reducing latency and expanding automation capabilities.
