Keeping our homes comfortable involves making intelligent decisions about when to turn on heating and cooling systems. The Google Home app has made it easier for users to control their climate by automating when their devices turn on and off. A recent update to the app has now made it even more efficient and clear to maintain the appliances that manage your home’s climate.
The latest update to the app has redefined which devices get organized into the Climate tab, which includes thermostats, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, fans, heaters, and humidifiers (via 9to5Google). This change will give users more clarity and immediacy when controlling their home’s climate, especially those without a central air system.
Moreover, the tab will also include temperature sensors and smart plugs assigned to the climate devices. Over the past few weeks, the Google Home app has introduced new features, including expanding live camera previews and faster access to more IoT devices. More updates are set to roll out, such as media playback control rubbing, phone location alerts, and the ability to select video clips when submitting feedback on-camera events.
If you own any climate-related devices and haven’t seen this particular change yet, don’t worry; you will soon enough.
