Google is bringing smart home controls in Gemini to everyone. The Google Home extension in the Gemini app is adding a few new features, in addition to letting you adjust your smart lighting, thermostat, speakers, and other compatible devices as long as they’re connected to your Google account.

Google wants Gemini to control your smart home devices and has upgraded the Gemini app with a new Google Home extension to manage all of your connected devices the same way you'd ask the AI assistant to answer any other query. So if you have the Gemini app and devices controlled by Google Home, you can link Gemini to your Google Home account.

Google's Gemini AI smart home controls, initially previewed in November 2024, are now rolling out globally. Previously focused on apps like Google Workspace and YouTube, Gemini now supports managing Google Home-connected devices via its Android and iOS apps.
