Trends Spotlight: Smart Home Keeps Getting Smarter

People with just one or two smart products at home soon realize how amazing creating a truly connected home can be. Building your Smart Home ecosystem with products like Google Nest speakers and displays can make life easier and help you do things like access media, manage your tasks and plan your day using only your voice1.

For instance, in addition to the home security products like the Nest x Yale Lock, Nest Doorbell and a variety of indoor and outdoor smart cameras, Google also offers a variety of audio entertainment solutions so you can stream your favourite music, podcasts and more to fill your home with rich sound. And with Chromecast devices, you can stream all the best movies and shows2. Plus, smart displays like the Nest Hub Max give you simple Smart Home controls right at your fingertips, allowing you to control sights and sounds at home, as well as your home comfort with a Nest thermostat3.
