It seems that Google listened to the requests of the Smart Home user community and decided to make the Nest voice assistant quieter. After a recent update, Google Nest will “shut its mouth a bit” and stop constantly prompting the user when to perform an action. The device will now send out a subtle beep to indicate that orders are being completed.

Instead of saying “I locked the door to the house,” “I turned on the light in the room,” or something like that, Google Nest will now beep to let you know that it has completed the requested action. As soon as you ask the voice assistant to turn on the light in your house, you will not have to hear her speech, because you will see that the light in the house is on. What’s new from Google is a highly requested feature by the community. other voice assistants like Amazon’s Alexa already behave similarly.

This change will certainly be welcomed by device users. After all, there is no need to listen to the answers of the device. You say, “Nest, turn on the fan,” and you hear, “OK, turn on the fan.” Now, instead of talking, you will only hear a beep indicating the action is being taken.

Google says that for now, the novelty is available for lighting in the same environment as the Google Nest. Switches, TVs, sound, fans and curtains will be updated soon, the company says. Soon, the chime feature will appear in other smart home features. creating a seamless experience without the constant chatter of Google Nest.

The company says community feedback is important as it helps make decisions to make devices more enjoyable to use. Just wait until the update gets to other smart home devices, which will allow the user not to listen to the voice of the assistant all the time, it just won’t get rid of the feeling of loneliness later.
