Google Pixel Home Control: A New Feature for Android System Update
Google is introducing an exciting feature called “Pixel Home Control” to Google Assistant on its Pixel smartphones. This innovative addition allows users to effortlessly manage their smart home devices using Google Assistant, the virtual assistant.
In the near future, users won’t be limited to Google’s smart home devices alone. Even if you have other non-Google smart home equipment, you’ll still enjoy the convenience of voice control through Pixel Home Control.
Currently, Google Pixel smartphones have received rave reviews for their voice assistant, Google Assistant. This technology has truly elevated the user experience. Unlike products like Amazon Echo or Dot, which primarily focus on indoor control, Pixel Home Control adopts a “smart hardware + smartphone” approach that extends its reach both indoors and outdoors. This enables users to control their smart home devices more freely and flexibly.
Pixel Home Control: Expanding Beyond Pixel Phones
It’s important to note that Pixel phones are not Google’s only foray into this field. This is likely an experimental step. In the future, Google may integrate the “Home Control” functionality into the Android operating system. With nearly 9 percent of the global tablet market share belonging to Android, Google can certainly leverage this “trump card” with Pixel Home Control.
One key goal is to establish “open source” standards in the smart home industry to create a unified ecosystem for smart homes. Currently, most smart home manufacturers tend to operate in isolation, each building its own closed ecosystem. This often leads to user frustration, as no single product can fulfill all their needs. As a result, users are left juggling multiple mobile apps, which can be confusing and counterproductive. An open ecosystem would provide users with a more seamless and convenient experience.
