Google Gemini Introduces Natural Language Smart Home Controls

Google's Gemini app now integrates with Google Home, enabling intuitive, multi-step smart home management using conversational commands.

The new Google Home extension for Gemini allows users to control smart home devices using natural language commands, simplifying interactions.
Users can issue multi-step commands, such as adjusting lights, blinds, and thermostats simultaneously, for a more seamless experience.
The integration supports a wide range of devices, including lights, thermostats, TVs, speakers, and more, as long as they are connected to Google Home.
The extension is rolling out globally to all Gemini users on Android and iOS, following a public preview that began in November 2024.
Limitations include support only for English prompts, no functionality for security devices requiring a pin, and the inability to execute routines or stream camera feeds.
