Google Home gets upgraded Gemini voice assistant and new camera controls
Summary
Google is updating its Home platform with Gemini 3.1, improving camera controls, event labeling, and the ability to handle multiple tasks in a single prompt. The update also expands the Ask Home automation feature and adds more triggers and actions across security, lighting, media, and device health, with a gradual rollout via early access. While changes aim to streamline smart-home workflows, some features require a paid plan and Gemini 3.1 is primarily the voice-assistant update rather than a full camera-model upgrade.
