Life at home doesn’t pause while you’re away. Get the full story of what’s happening at home through detailed notifications and daily summaries that go farther than just detecting motion. Whether you’re reading a real-time alert or revisiting a moment days later, find the details you need when you need them with Google Home Premium.1
Maybe you’re refilling your bird feeders more often, and want to know if you’re hosting more feathered friends or a family of squirrels. Now you can identify the answer as soon as motion is detected, with a zoomed-in preview included in your Nest Cam notifications.2
When you’d like to make a list of the new bird species spotted in your yard this month, view up to 30 days of event history with a Standard plan. Get even more info by searching up to 60 days of event video history or 10 days of continuous video recording with an Advanced subscription.
And an Advanced plan further personalizes your smart home security. Quickly confirm whether movement in your backyard was your partner refilling the feeders or a neighbor walking by, thanks to detailed event descriptions in your history. You can even get a bird’s-eye view of everything that happened by reviewing daily summaries.
With Gemini, you can use the same natural language you’d use with a friend when you talk to your AI home assistant. Learn something new or manage your day, hands-free, when you pair your smart speaker with Google Home Premium.2
When you need more than a quick answer, dig deeper with Gemini Live, and ask follow-up questions, shift directions, or really explore a topic. If you’re in med school and need a hand preparing for a practical exam, try, “Can you quiz me on the names of major bones in the lower body?” Gemini Live can guide you through a practice test, identify areas for further study, or help you conduct additional research on clinical relevance.1,2 When you’re done, smoothly shift to planning a post-midterm vacation without missing a beat.
Maybe you’re an avid mountain biker and want to check out new areas and natural terrain. Explore places you could go by saying, “I want to visit some National Parks. Which ones are good for experienced bikers?” From there, Gemini can recommend parks that include cycling routes, suggest the best seasons to visit, and even list trails with the best ocean views.
Or maybe you want to effortlessly manage your schedule and your home, hands-free. Add a meeting to your calendar while you fix your morning coffee. Just say, “Add a 30-minute meeting with Julian to my calendar at 2 PM today.”1,6 And when you get home, quickly catch up on what happened while you were gone with a simple voice prompt like, “Tell me what I missed today.” Your speaker can read a detailed summary of security footage while you’re prepping dinner.7
Some of the most helpful smart home features are the automations that you set and forget. Create recurring routines and one-time smart home automations in seconds using Help Me Create, available with the Standard plan of Google Home Premium.
Let’s say you’ve always preferred the gym atmosphere at the local rec center – temperature set just right, lights on, and music playing – to your setup at home. Bring that professional feeling to your own space when you set up automations using "Help me create". Just describe what you want in the Google Home app – a workout vibe that brightens the lights, lowers the thermostat, starts your “Pump It Up” playlist, and sets a 45-minute timer – and Gemini handles the rest.8 Schedule your automation for every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 PM, or keep it flexible by using a simple voice command like “Start workout mode” for on-demand fitness time.1,2,3
In addition to convenience, you get added peace of mind when you subscribe to Google Home Premium. Maybe you want an automation that makes your home feel safe, but you’re not sure where to begin. Take the guesswork out of security with personalized suggestions based on your devices. For example, if you have a Nest x Yale Lock, Nest lighting, and outdoor Nest Cams, you might see recommendations to automatically lock the doors, turn off the lights, and turn on your cameras every night at 10 PM.1,2,3 You’re always in control and can accept, edit, or dismiss these suggestions.
For cameras that share the whole story, speakers that connect you with expert-level knowledge, and spaces made smart with intuitive automations, look no further than Google Home Premium.
