Google has followed Amazon in announcing
its own home hub device in the form of Google Home. The new device shares
numerous features in common with Amazon's Echo device,
which is yet to launch in the UK. Like Echo the device combines a Wi-Fi
connected speaker with microphones for voice control, but it looks far more
powerful thanks to Google's huge range of connected technologies, all of which
work via the new Google Assistant technology.
Google Home looks
like a small Bluetooth speaker, smaller than you might expect in fact, being
easy to pick up single-handed. The lower section contains a speaker, with
interchangeable bases so you can customise it to your home. It's the upper
section that contains the clever bits though.
On top are a
series of microphones to pick up your voice requests, based on this Google Home
can play music, provide information based on requests and act as hub to control
numerous other devices around your home. Voice controls are sent to Google's
servers and parsed by the new Google Assistant technology. This is a chatty
personal assistant which replies to your queries, through voice here but also
via text on Android devices.
