Google Assistant's Home control now directly supports over 65 partners

in #google7 years ago

It feels like only yesterday that Google Home launched with support for a few select services. If memory serves me well, those were Nest, Hue, SmartThings, and IFTTT. It took a while for Home to add its next batch of services (Wink, WeMo, Honeywell), but oh how they grow up so fast! Suddenly, it was an onslaught of new partners and services and we could barely keep up.

Neither could Google, apparently, because its support page for partners and services on Google Home only lists 32 companies in the "Smart Home" category. But there are twice as many if you head over to the Home control section of your Google Home app. Here are the ones you'll be able to connect but that Google hasn't listed on its page yet:

APOWER Smart Plug
Cielo Smart Home
Connectiviot
eedomus
eGlu Smart Home
Gigaset Elements
Homematic IP
HomeSeer
Honeywell Lyric and Honeywell Total Connect Comfort US (previously only listed as one "Honeywell," but now separated into two)
Hook Smart Home
i3 Control
iFutureLive
Kasia Home
Logi Circle
Magic Home WiFi
mydlink home
Mysa Thermostat
Netatmo
Powwow Smart Home
Rogers Smart Home Monitoring
Samsung Smart Home
Sengled Home
Sensibo
Smart Life
Smart Living
Smart Voice
Smart We Link
Smartenit
Somfy Connected Thermostat
SSG Home
tado
Telstra Smart Home
Yeelight Actions
Most of these aren't very new. I've seen mydlink, Netatmo, Yeelight, and Samsung Smart Home for several weeks, maybe even months in the list of partners. But some of them are relatively new. Logi Circle for example was just announced a couple of hours ago and I'm pretty sure Hook and Cielo are relatively new as well.

Keep in mind that these are only the direct partner integrations with Google Home and Assistant, i.e. the ones where you do not have to say, "OK Google, ask service x to do y," or, "OK Google, talk to service x." If you take into account the latter category (Actions on Google), there are hundreds of integrations including known brands such as LG, Anova, Rachio, August Home, Logitech, Roomba, and more.
