The amount of smart home tech in my own house has been slowly growing over the past few years, covering basics like heating and security, to more niche aspects like keeping the ambient humidity low enough. But as much as I can appreciate having it all at my disposal, nothing really compares to being able to set up customizable smart buttons.
So the news that Google Home is finally adding support for physical smart buttons is quite exciting. The worst thing about smart home software is that it’s all scattered across various apps and ecosystems. So the more I can consolidate into a single place, the happier I will be. Especially if it means more cross-platform support.
