Google has released the Google Home Extension for the Gemini app on Android. It enables Google’s GenAI assistant to control Google Home smart devices without the help of Google Assistant, as it used to before.

Along with that, the Extension enables people to converse with Gemini in a more conversational manner to control smart home devices and perform more complex actions than before. For example, you can tell Gemini “The sunlight in this room is too bright” and it will close the curtains in the room for you.

To get the Extension for Google Home in the Gemini app on Android, open Gemini, tap on the profile picture/icon in the top-right corner of the screen, go to Extensions, and enable Google Home. Google is rolling out the new feature in phases and it will become available to everyone “over the coming weeks.
