  1. Google previews firmware 3.79.550760 for older Home and Nest speakers

  2. Google Home October update fixes Gemini voice commands

    Google is rolling out its October Google Home update, focused on Gemini in the smart home: according to changelog reports from 9to5Google and Android Authority, the release makes "stop" commands more reliable to prevent misinterpretations and adds more natural ways to end a Gemini conversation, such as saying "thank you" to stop talking and close the mic. It also makes answers easier to read on smart displays, better distinguishes relaxing music from ambient sounds, and keeps weather temperature units consistent with the Home settings, while fixing unstable drag-and-drop reordering in Favorites, adding larger smoke alarm banners, and enabling Matter control for Philips Hue lights with existing bridges. Android Authority noted its author's Home app did not yet look different at publication, so the details come from Google's release notes, including the claim that compatible Matter devices respond faster and more reliably via local control through Home hubs.

  3. Alexa Plus one year on: great smart home control, weak personal assistant

    The Verge's Jennifer Pattison Tuohy spent a year living with Amazon's AI-powered Alexa Plus, from early access in July 2025 through its full launch in February 2026. She calls it the best smart home assistant she has tested — responses dropped from 10–15 seconds to 3–5 seconds, and routines, calendar import, shopping and recipe help all improved — but says its personal-assistant features are still underbaked and it fumbles complex or time-sensitive requests. Her biggest complaint is the constant advertising on Echo Show displays, which Amazon says it will remove only through Photo Gallery Unlimited at $2.99 per month per device.
