Google today made it possible for the Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones to control some smart home products through the Google Assistant. Pixel owners can now interact with Belkin Wemo and Honeywell smart home products, for example. Users will need to add each smart home product manually to their Pixel via the app. Once added, people can utter requests such as, "Ok Google, turn the temperature up downstairs" to adjust the thermostat. This functionality requires the latest version of Google Play Services as well as the latest Google app.
