Device and Structure APIs: “With one integration, you’ll have access to more than 600 million devices already connected to Google Home, and a single, unified interface to manage and monitor both cloud-connected and Matter devices in Google Home, providing local control, broad device coverage and support for Matter. user clusters.” This includes Nest thermostats and other compatible devices, such as light bulbs.
Commissioning API: “Simplify device setup with Fast Pair on 3 billion Android devices, onboard Matter devices directly in your app, provide seamless onboarding, voice control via Google Assistant, and compatibility with the Google Home ecosystem.”
Automation API: “Give your users all the tools they need to create and control home automation directly within your app, using Google’s rich AI-powered signals, commands, and accessibility capabilities for a personalized and smart home experience.”
Some partners have already launched integration using the Home API last year:
“Eve was able to unlock advanced features for its users, such as autonomous heating scheduling on Eve Thermo, and also expand its presence in the Android ecosystem, laying a strong foundation for future development.”
“Nanosheet used the Home API to make entertainment even more fun by giving customers simple voice commands to turn on the Nanoleaf 4D screen mirroring light strip.”
“…LG used the Home API to integrate Google Home devices directly into their smart home TVs.”
All developers can now access the Android version of the Home API and test their apps with up to 100 users, while iOS will receive a public beta for developers in the coming months. Google Home APIs will become generally available “later this year.”
