• Google is working on introducing an offline mode for the Google Home app. • Currently, commands sent to devices rely on company servers before affecting your network. With offline mode, local control will be enabled, allowing you to interact with your devices even when your internet is down.
• Google aims to address the issue of first-generation Nest cameras not working with the current Google Home app. • These older models will soon receive support, creating a more cohesive ecosystem for users.
• Updating firmware for old devices has been challenging due to their age (some launched back in 2015). • Google is also improving integration with third-party brands like Wyze and Eufy.
• Google’s focus on Nest devices is driven by security and quality control considerations. • Ensuring seamless compatibility requires close collaboration with partners.
• While the rollout of these features may take time, Google’s commitment to enhancing the Google Home app is promising for users.
