The new Google Home app on Wear OS garnered a lot of interest before it launched on the new Pixel Watch and then made its way to other smartwatches in the Android ecosystem. For now, Google is clear about the app’s scope: A “Preview” notice is prominently displayed, just to ease you into the potential bugs and missing features. But preview or stable, we like dissecting Android-related novelties, so that’s what we’re going to do.
In its current form, this new wrist-bound Google Home app feels very basic. A three-level navigation structure lets you pick the home you want to control, then a list of different rooms in that home, and finally all the devices in that room.
