You’re going to need to download the new Google Home app to connect it to your home network, and subsequently. If you’re the only member of the home, the home gets deleted, including home data such as video history footage and thermostat settings. The next time you connect to the home’s Wi-Fi, open the Home app to finish Google Assistant setup, which adds you to the devices connected to the same Wi-Fi. Google Assistantworks with over 50,000 smart home devices from more than 10,000 popular brands, and we're adding new brands all the time. Overall, the Matter rollout have been moving slowly following the big November announcement, but that might change now.
You’ll see a few Matter devices in stores this holiday season, with many more coming in early 2023. Just look for the new Matter badge to spot what products are Matter-enabled, plus if they have that badge you’ll know that they work out of the box with Google Home. To make sure devices from other brands have been tested to work well with Google devices, also look for the Works With Google Home badge. Assistant settings – Manage your Google Assistant settings, services, and linked devices. Lights - Turn your smart lights on and off and adjust their brightness, if supported. If I used iPhone and an Apple Home Mini, I wouldn’t have all these issues.

Additionally, the Nest Wifi Pro, Nest Hub Max, and the Nest Hub can serve as so-called Thread border routers, enabling full Matter support for your smart home devices. To explain, Matter is operating on a number of different connectivity standards like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread. The latter is a low-energy network that lives parallel to your Wi-Fi network and is best for low-power devices like smart locks. With Matter, everything from smart lighting, thermostats, window shades and door locks will work better together with less time and effort on your part. Setting up and customizing your smart home devices with Google Home just got easier thanks to Matter, a new standard for smart home platforms, apps and devices.

Going forward Google Home devices will start with the Google Nest naming. The Google Home Mini is a smart speaker that's built on the same platform as the original Google Home, but it's significantly smaller. Google Home Mini provides access to the powerful Google Assistant, so you can use it to listen to music, check the news and weather, make appointments, and a variety of other tasks. The built-in speaker doesn't provide the same audio quality as the larger Google Home, but you can connect it wirelessly to any Cast-enabled speaker if you're after a richer sound. Another intriguing prospect about Google Home is how it’s able to integrate with connected devices in the home. Support extends to a few products consisting of Google Chromecast, Nest, Philips Hue, and SmartThings but it has since expanded into certain smart displays, smart locks, and thermostats.

Ask Google Assistant on your phone to make the change, just as you would with your Google Home. Ask Google Home for information about the weather, local sports teams, news, traffic, and more. It can also manage your Google Calendar and interface with Google Keep to help you schedule appointments and events, create shopping lists, and perform other useful tasks. Aside from Google Home devices, you can also access Google Assistant on your phone.
If you do need to speak to a live person, you can usually do so by phone or live chat. If it’s a less urgent matter, you can also fill out a contact form and wait for Google’s customer support team to get back to you. However, wait times can be long, so it’s generally best to try the online resources first. We use it to find information, stay connected with friends and family, and even do our jobs.
Share a home and devices in the Google Home app
IFTTT, if you’re not familiar, enables hooks between services that the services themselves don’t support directly. One “applet” lets you use Google Assistant to post on Twitter, for example. For a complete list of services compatible with IFTTT and Google Assistant, head here. “Nest is committed to making our devices connect better and respond faster,” writes Turner. “Thread, a technology we cofounded in 2014 that helps smart home devices work faster and more securely, will work in conjunction with Matter. The Google Home app for Android is also introducing support for the standard, which is necessary in order to have a true hub to collect all devices that support matter.
Google Home is a line of smart speakers that includes the original Google Home, Google Home Hub, Google Home Mini, and others. The line is marketed under the Google Nest brand, which includes a variety of smart home devices like the Nest thermostat. With Google Assistant built right in, Google Home is able to answer informational queries, provide weather reports, manage your calendar, and more. Google Nest speakers are built to serve as a nerve center for your digital existence. So whether you’re looking to listen to music, get directions, turn the lights on, or play the latest season of The Witcher on your TV, Google has you covered. A speaker is only as good as your connected services, however, and that’s where where we come in.

The Google Home Mini is also an excellent addition to any home that already has one or more Google Home devices. The Google Home has a single speaker with two passive radiators, which really help it produce decent sound for a device of its size. The Home Mini, on the other hand, has a smaller speaker and lacks the passive radiators. While the Home Mini can still be used to listen to audio content like music and podcasts, it doesn't sound as good.
Google is constantly expanding its partnerships, so more and more smart home tech is supported by the assistant. The company has unveiled a new smart home directory for all Google Assistant-compatible devices, along with educational videos. After you connect your smart devices in the Google Home app, you can use the Google Home app to control them. If you have a Google Nest or Home speaker or display, you can also use voice commands to control your smart devices. You can control thousands of smart devices like cameras, lights, and speakers, as long as they come with Google Assistant. Being a Google product and all, there’s no surprise at all that it integrates seamlessly with most of Google’s services.
Lastly, Google is improving Home & Away Routines, enabling automatic control of Nest cameras, Nest thermostats, smart lights, smart plugs and smart switches. The Away Routine can allow users to automatically turn on Nest cameras and turn off the lights and plugs. When the homeowner arrive back home, the Home Routine can turn off the cameras and turn on the lights. This is great for households where people prefer different platforms.
Google promises a future Android update will integrate Matter into the OS. With that integration, Android can control any Matter-compatible device in Google Assistant—even if it couldn’t before. To go back to my Nanoleaf LEDs, once all the updates are in place, I’ll be able to control the LEDs with my Android phone, and I won’t even need to use Bluetooth as a backup. Once I get it all set up again, I shouldn’t have to worry about losing the QR code one more time. Just by placing Nest Hub Max or the Second Gen Nest Hub around your home, you’ll create mesh points for all your Matter devices to connect to.
So, if you’re using Gmail, you’ll have a different experience than if you’re using Google Docs. If you’re a business user, you’ll have a different experience than if you’re a private user. Nest is a company that Google purchased and folded into their own line of smart devices. The Nest name has subsequently been attached to various devices, including an improved version of the Google Home Mini.
The Google Home app gives you a customized view of everything going on in your home. Pin your favorite devices so you see them in your home view right when you open the app. Matter devices connect to each other directly over your smart home network using Wi-Fi or Thread, so they work even better together.
