Gemini for Home sharpens Spotify control, lighting tweaks, and message broadcasts

Gemini for Home is enhancing its capabilities to better recognize songs, artists, and playlists on Spotify. The voice assistant is also improving its ability to control the color temperature of smart lights. Users can now request Gemini to broadcast a message and follow up with a separate reply message in a single command.

Google Home recently resolved an issue where smart lights would turn on or off without user input. With that problem now fixed, Google has rolled out a Gemini for Home update aimed at providing users with more control over their lights. This update will also enhance Spotify media selection and simplify broadcasting messages.

Turning to smart lights, the Gemini for Home update introduces the ability to set specific color temperatures using voice commands. For instance, users could say, "Hey Google, make the living room lights 2700 kelvins." This feature aims to simplify the process of using voice commands to adjust the ambiance in their homes.
