"This means when a user who has a hub for Google Home device (at home) is viewing or controlling their Matter devices (at home), they can do so with higher reliability, privacy, and lower latency," Jeannie Zhang, product manager for Google Home, told The Verge.
"Now, if the internet is down and you ask Google Assistant to turn on the lights, it should actually be able to follow through," highlighting the significant shift from cloud dependence in device control.
"This should make it easier and more affordable for device OEMs to build Thread into all their new products," Google Home senior engineering director Matt Van Der Staay writes.
"Google is opening its Home APIs to all developers. This allows developers to integrate Google Home devices and automations into their own apps," showcasing increased accessibility for developers.
