Google may incorporate Google Home Premium into its services, along with a revamped Home app.
In a significant move, Google has announced that its Home Premium subscription will be replacing Nest Aware. This new offering is set to bring a host of features and benefits to Google Home users.
The Google Home Speaker is at the heart of this new subscription called Home Premium. The connection between 'Google Home Premium' and the 'Google One' subscription model was established by Google, with Home Premium being included in a Google One subscription. This perk has been available in the UK for Nest Aware users since 2024, and it remains unclear whether this perk will be expanded worldwide.
Google Home Premium offers a range of advanced features designed to enhance the user's home security and convenience. One such feature is intelligent alerts when set up. Users can teach compatible cameras to recognize who they know (Familiar Faces) with Home Premium. This feature allows for more personalised and accurate alerts, ensuring that users are only notified about events involving people they recognize.
Home Premium also advertises 'Security that understands what it sees.' E911 emergency calling is referenced in the strings of Home Premium, indicating a focus on safety and emergency response. Detailed AI event descriptions, notifications, and daily summaries are offered by Home Premium, providing users with a comprehensive overview of their home's activity.
The redesigned Google Home app features an 'Ask Home' center for automation and searching video and home history. Users can describe what they want to automate or ask to search their video and home history in this center. This makes it easier for users to manage their home's security and automation settings.
Home Premium allows cameras to record video when they detect activity. This feature is particularly useful for monitoring the home when users are away. The Google One subscription offers more video history with Google Home Premium, giving users peace of mind knowing that they have a more extensive record of their home's activity.
Google Home Premium Advanced is coming, which is presumably Nest Aware Plus with 60-day event history and 10 days of 24/7 history. This advanced version will provide users with even more comprehensive home security and monitoring.
In summary, Google Home Premium is set to revolutionise home security and automation. With its focus on AI integration, personalised alerts, and emergency response, it offers a comprehensive solution for users seeking to enhance their home's security and convenience. Whether you're at home or away, Google Home Premium is designed to keep you connected and in control.
