phrases in this video may trigger Google assistant if you have one please
consider muting it or listening with headphones the newest feature added to
nests IQ indoor home security camera is Google
assistant you can now talk to Google assistant through the nest camera and
you can get answers through the camera as well so this in a room gives you
Google assistant coverage in that space it's a new feature that's just been
added through a firmware update and today we're going to be testing it out
so the Google assistant coming to this is one of the first big changes since
nest went from being a sort of more autonomous company that was owned by
Google into being a much more part of Google's hardware operations
proper the assistant features have been added to the IQ indoor camera but not to
the IQ outdoor camera and that's because if it was on the outdoor camera you
could have someone walk down the street and say something like hey Google's
switch on all the lights and all of your house lights will come on so it's on the
indoor camera only you're gonna get it through a firmware update you need to
update your nest app so to do it you go into the app I have the IQ indoor here
set as the garage camera I'm going to press that and then press the Settings
button and right here at the top is add Google assistant that is the feature
that was added with the firmware update so I'm just going to click that so I
have it now set up Google assistant is on this this nest IQ camera so let's
let's give it a go and ask it a couple of questions hey Google what time is
sunset today six oh six p.m. hey Google at cornflakes on my shopping list okay
I've had it cornflakes to your shopping list now one of the other things that
you can apparently do with this is to send video from the camera to a
television I have a chromecast dongle in the back of this one send video from
here to a television using Google Earth system so I've set this up and call it
the marriage camera this chromecast comes
from somewhere else so it's called the office TV at the moment but that's what
we're going to do so hey Google send the garage camera to the office TV hey
Google put the garage camera on the office TV well this isn't going very
well we look at my notes and see that I should be able to say hey Google Play
the garage camera on the office chromecast I also need to know which
device to use try saying that again and include the device's name okay so
progress play the garage camera on the office TV chromecast alright zoom q2n
camera garage test2 from YouTube playing on office TV yeah okay so it's playing a
YouTube video on my TV hey Google stop the YouTube video nothing's playing
right now I need to go look this up hey Google show the garage camera on the
office TV you got it streaming the garage on office TV I don't know what I
did but it's apparently about to work if we can get this this video working there
there it is and there's a delay on it so let's see if we can figure out what the
delay is I'm gonna do something and let's let's see what happens so let's
see I'm gonna wave my hand and start
and there's the wave so it's about eight seconds there's about eight second delay
from this to seeing it on your television hey Google show the front
yard on the office TV okay so this is another nest camera that should pop up
in a minute I presume it's also on about an eight
second delay I guess Google and there it is
I guess Google assistant is still very much dependent on the language you use
let's try a couple of those things again hey Google Play the garage on the office
TV so I think the problem I was making the first time is I was using too much
language I was saying play the garage camera on the office TV chromecast and
that was confusing it and now as you can see it's it's working completely fine so
that's the Google assistant in the nest IQ indoor hey Google say goodbye
