Summary
Google’s Aug. 5 update pairs a new interactive Storytime mode in Gemini for Home with a broader Google Home app upgrade centered on cameras, automations and reliability.
Gemini can now create and reshape stories by voice in real time, while also handling alarms and timers more naturally — including 12-hour or 24-hour preferences and follow-up questions about time remaining.
Five added camera brands — Eufy, Tapo, Wyze, Reolink and Nanit — can now feed into the Home app, which also gets faster clip saving, steadier live streams and easier camera navigation.
Home Premium Advanced subscribers now receive AI-generated camera event summaries, and Google says automations have expanded to more countries and languages.
The release also fixes smaller smart-home annoyances, including a lingering speaker light-ring bug, while improving smart-lock notifications and error handling.
