Google Home – IoT is getting better with this smart home device:

Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the world and the Google’s part in revamping the smart home market is stunning in every aspect. Google Home is perfect in every part and here is the justification for the statement.

1. It adds a sweet touch of fragrance to the home setup:Google home looks like a fresh flower pod used for decorating the house, and it has a very pleasant finish that suits the house of any setup/style. This smart device is cylindrical and has an angled top placed with four LEDs portraying the colors of Google. It has a modern and modular case that comes with a changeable base that can spice up the decor. It is not portable, but it acts as a powerful speaker that can fill up the entire room with strong bass and clean highs.
2. It controls the house with a single account:Compatible with Chromecast is another advantage of having Google Home. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support multiple accounts (as of now) but it might shortly. Google Home can talk to the Chromecast device to play music, stream YouTube videos and lot more. Another major function of this smart device is that it can communicate with Google to get you the correct information. Google Home is not as good as Echo when it comes to multiple device support and Mario Queiroz, the VP of Product Management at Google admitted that Echo had a wide area of skills but explained, “then you start getting deeper, and it doesn’t work very well, then you’re sort of disappointed. And I think that happens with Alexa sometimes.”
3. It has everything to control the connected things nut with some restrictions:Initially, Google Home will be working with a small set of applications and home automation devices but in the mere future, Google has planned to expand the device’s compatibility. This smart device uses the Knowledge Graph, a super database that understands million of entities and the relation between them. Quieroz also said he isn’t worried about the setbacks the Google Home has with Amazon Echo and also added, “We’re competing for the feature for feature in most of the areas. And in the areas that matter to the consumer, we’re going to do a better job.”

Google Home, the smart home device will be commercially launched later this year, and it might get a price of few hundred dollars. The tech industry and the general crowd is waiting for this beautiful assistant.
