Setting up and managing Routines is a breeze with the dedicated Automations tab, allowing you to automate tasks and create custom scenarios to suit your lifestyle. ⚙️ Plus, the consolidated Settings tab makes it simple to edit permissions and manage your home’s security settings. 🛡️

Stay Informed with a Glance

Control Your Home from Anywhere

With Google Home for Wear OS, you can take control of your smart home devices directly from your wrist. ⌚ Turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat, or receive alerts when someone’s at your front door – all without reaching for your phone.
