Personalize Your Home View 📌

The Google Home app allows you to personalize your home view by pinning your most-used devices, automations, and actions to the Favorites tab. This means you can access everything you need right when you open the app! No more endless scrolling. You can also view live feeds from your Nest cameras and doorbells, and easily scan through event history. Stay informed and in control with just a few taps. 📸

Automations and Routines ⚙️

Setting up and managing routines has never been easier! The Automations tab lets you create custom routines to automate tasks around your home. For example, you can set a routine to turn on the lights and adjust the thermostat automatically when you arrive home. It's all about making your life easier and more comfortable. 💡

Consolidated Settings 🎛️

The consolidated Settings tab allows you to quickly edit any permissions, ensuring your home is secure and your privacy is protected. You have full control over who has access to your devices and data. It's all about peace of mind. 🔒

Understand What’s Going On At Home With a Glance 👀

The Google Home app is designed to keep you updated on the status of your home. Check in anytime and see a recap of recent events. Whether it's a notification from your security camera or a change in temperature, you'll always be in the know. Stay connected and informed, no matter where you are. 🌍

Control Your Home From Anywhere 🚶

With Google Home for Wear OS, you can control compatible smart home devices from your watch! Turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat, or get an alert when there’s a person or package at your front door. The favorites tile and device additions to your watch face make managing your home as easy as a tap on the wrist. Talk about convenience! ⌚

Privacy and Security 🛡️
