As announced last month, the Google Home Gemini Extension is no longer in preview and widely available. This stable rollout took a few weeks.
You can manually enable it in the Gemini app on Android and iOS by tapping your profile avatar in the top-right corner and going to Extensions. Scroll down for “Device Control” where you’ll see @Google Home without the green preview badge. Tap the toggle to enable and agree to “Connect Google Home.”
This Gemini Extension has been in testing through the Google Home Public Preview for the past few months. In going stable, this integration now lets you control lights and other non-sensitive devices from your lockscreen without unlocking. Sensitive controls will direct you to the Google Home app. It can also now adjust the volume, pause, and resume media on entertainment devices, while the thermostat tile now matches the Home app.
@Google Home allows for natural and complex queries like:
window.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];
adSlotsConfig.push( {
slotID: ‘/1049447/Outbrain’,
slotName: ‘div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-661617’,
sizes: [300, 250],
slotPosition: ‘mid_article’
} );
Supported capabilities and example commands appear below:
Lights
Switches or outlets
Thermostats
Turn on or off
Set or adjust the temperature
Switch heating or cooling modes
Fans, heaters & A/C units
Control window coverings
Control media devices
Control other smart home devices
