Detecting your presence better in the home, the Google Home app now relies on interactions with your smart devices to perform the supposed tasks.
This is made possible with a new feature addition called “Presence Sensing”, which is optional in the Home app. When enabled, this will collect interactions with the connected smart devices to trigger the works of other devices.
Google Home Presence Sensing
Google’s got a bunch of smart home devices to make your life easier – but they all need to be communicating with each other – or with the controlling app (Google Home) to work properly.
And Google is perfectly streamlined this over the years. Now, it added a presence-sensing feature to its Google Home app, which uses the interactions made with Nest speakers and smart displays for automating tasks.
Improved presence sensing on Nest devices? Yes, please. ✨ Now, when you opt in to the feature, your Nest speakers and displays can better detect your presence via voice or touch and automate actions based on whether you’re home or not.
