Google has released a significant update to its Gemini for Home voice assistant service. The latest upgrade adds support for Spanish in all supported countries, including Mexico, making it more accessible to users worldwide.
Gemini for Home is now available on all compatible devices and offers several new features that enhance the user experience. Users can ask for specific colors without knowing their exact names, and Gemini will automatically respond with the correct hue. This feature, called Expressive Lighting, also includes Precision Appliance Controls, which allows users to set specific humidity levels or preheat appliances.
Other notable updates include Advanced Climate Management, which enables users to hold temperature presets and clear active modes more easily. Snappier responses are also now possible, thanks to improved device recognition.
The Google Home app has been updated to support the latest Android 16 features, including edge-to-edge displays and predictive back gestures.
For families with children using Gemini for Home, a new feature allows kids under supervised accounts to use the voice assistant alongside family members. This enables them to learn and play with ease.
Gemini Live news summaries have also become more interactive, providing users with deeper insights into live conversations and follow-up questions.
These updates showcase Google’s ongoing commitment to improving its Gemini for Home service, making it a more powerful and intuitive voice assistant for smart home control and information.
