In addition to expanding device compatibility, Google is also introducing innovative features powered by AI. One such feature is garage door detection, available to Nest Cam users with a Nest Aware subscription. This intelligent feature leverages image recognition to determine whether a garage door is open or closed. It’s a simple yet practical way to bolster home security without the need for additional hardware or sensors. During setup, users have the flexibility to position their camera either inside or outside the garage, prioritizing an unobstructed view of the door for optimal functionality.

Beyond these updates, Google is actively seeking user feedback through its Public Preview program. This initiative allows users to test new features and provide valuable insights that contribute to the continuous improvement of the Google Home experience. This user-centric design ensures that the Google Home ecosystem remains a top choice for Smart Home enthusiasts, catering to the ever-changing needs and preferences of the users.
