Google announced this week that it will be overhauling Google Home to fix several issues and bugs reported by users. As the app has grown over the years, it has increasingly come under fire from the community, who find it extremely confusing.

Another great new feature introduced by Google is the arrival of Google Home for the browser. With it, it will be possible to access the stream of cameras via the Internet. In addition, through Wear OS it will also be possible to control the house. The feature will be available on the new Google Pixel Watch.

Even without being available to users, the company gave an overview of everything to expect when the redesigned version is released this year. One of the main differences from the current layout is the creation of the Favorites tab. This will allow you to create your own kind of smart home devices connected to Google Home.

This option will also allow users to display frequently used actions and automations on the main screen of the application. Other features, such as live feeds from cameras integrated into Google Home, can also be added to the new Favorites tab.

Set up and control the environment on mobile devices

The update provided by Google also makes it easier to access the media control, which will be available at the bottom of the bookmarks. You will now be able to access this feature if more than one connected media device is playing at the same time.

Users will also be able to access a kind of smart app carousel. With the change proposed by Google, the Google Home app also guarantees quick access to connected devices by categorizing them. So, just choose if you want to access the camera, the lighting, the air conditioning, or the Wi-Fi part.

For example, if you click on a camera shortcut, a new tab will open with a feed containing live feeds from all connected security cameras. Meanwhile, the lighting list gives you access to sliders to adjust the brightness, as well as a button to turn the lights on or off.

Setting up environments and routines will become even easier for users. This is because it will be possible to access the “automation” tab. This allows you to create and edit routines that can be easily applied throughout the home.
