Same with a virtual assistant that automates your morning routine, and a thermostat that adjusts to your daily schedule – they would fit right into the imagined future of that 1960s TV show. 

But these things aren’t out of sci-fi. They’re actually what your Google Home can do for you today. And they’re only getting better.

Whether you’re trying to keep your family safe with a smart security system, or just looking to make your life more convenient by automating daily tasks, Google’s smart home controls are now simpler to use, easier to customize, and more accessible than ever. Plus, they’re connected across your favorite devices.^1,2,3

Your Google Pixel Watch can do a little bit of everything. It combines health, fitness, and sleep tracking with features that let you look up directions, buy what you need online, and get hands-free help on the go. 

It also puts you in charge of your smart home controls anytime, from anywhere in the world. Now, you can even customize the face of your Pixel Watch to give you easier access to the smart devices you use most – from the lights in your kitchen to the stereo in your living room. Say you’re out on a long run, but you forgot to unlock the door for your dog walker. If you added your smart lock to your watch face, you could tap the shortcut and unlock the door, without interrupting your stride.

Want to cool down the house once you’re done with your miles? Quickly access your  smart thermostat from the favorites tile with a swipe on your Pixel Watch.^1,2 Now you can enjoy that whoosh of cold air the moment you walk in the door.

Whether you’re at the office across town or lounging on a veranda in Italy, your smart home is never far away with Google Home for web. Keep tabs on your front door, confirm that a package arrived, or check that your newly independent eighth grader got home from school. Just open Google Home for web in Chrome on your laptop, and watch live streams of your Nest cameras and doorbells.^1,4,5

You can play the stream in the background while you work, or explore your camera history from your browser. And with a Nest Aware subscription, you can unlock even more video history, search for a specific date or event, and easily download clips to keep or share. If a video clip is too long, you can even trim it by picking a new start and end time. Cool, right?

The home panel gives you one-tap access to your entire smart home directly from your Pixel’s lock screen or quick settings. 

Turn off your kitchen lights from your bedroom at night, adjust the temperature, or view a camera live stream to make sure that package is still on your doorstep – all with the same powerful controls as the newly designed Google Home app.^1,4,5

If you have a Pixel Tablet, you can add widgets to your home screen – like weather, event reminders, and breaking news alerts – to get updates at a glance. 

You can even make holidays easier by turning your Pixel Tablet into a smart home controller. That way, anyone there can silence your teenager’s blaring music, call up a last-minute recipe, or dim the lights for dinner. It’s easy: Dock your tablet and poof – it transforms into the ultimate smart home controller, accessible to anyone via the screensaver. 

So, if you ever doubted that something akin to The Jetsons would one day be real, look around. It’s easier than ever to manage your smart home with your Pixel Tablet, phone, watch, and other favorite Google devices.
