Google Home can now also control your garage doors via buttons

You can already open and close your garage doors through the Google Home app using voice commands. Google has secretly added another option to this.

Garage doors open at the push of a button

Google is constantly adding new features to its Google Home app. This time it’s about buttons with which you can operate your garage doors. A Reddit user shared the screenshot below of it.

These buttons had been in the Google Home app for a while, but they didn’t work. Until now, garage owners could only open the doors with a voice command. Now this can also be done silently, with the push of a button. According to 9to5Google, the buttons don’t work with every brand, but they do work with doors from the Tailwind and Nexx brands.

The Google Home app gets even more new possibilities. Google has also started rolling out a new ‘Inbox’ feature, as well as better controls for smart lights and improved support for cameras and the Wear OS app. All of these improvements are now being tested and are not yet seen in the stable version of the app. Do you also want to test in the Public Preview of the Google Home app? Then follow these steps.
