- Google Home could soon let you link Matter-enabled devices that have already been set up on a different smart home platform.
- This will be helpful if you are migrating platforms, as it would save you from a reset-setup cycle across your smart home products to integrate them with Google Home.
- It will also help use smart home devices with multiple controller apps without following a strict setup order.
Google has refocused on the smart home with a refreshed Google Home app released in recent years. The Google Home app is the home to all your smart home devices that are compatible with the Google ecosystem. The Google Home app could soon allow you to link Matter devices that you have already set up elsewhere.
The Google Home app lets you set up and control your Google and Nest-branded smart home devices, Google Home-compatible devices (under the “Works with Google Home” branding), and even Matter-enabled devices.
