Google today improved Google Assistant on Android devices and its Google Home product. The assistant can now talk with a wider range of internet-of-things devices for the home, allowing people to take control over more things around their house through voice commands. Specifically, Google Assistant can connect to Best Buy Insignia, LIFX, TP-Link, and Wink products. People can say "Ok Google, turn on the fan," and Google Assistant will do that via the Best Buy Insignia WiFi Smart Plug. People can also control LIFX and TP-Link lighting, as well as adjust their Wink-connected thermostat. Taking advantage of these tools requires turning them on in the Google Home App on a smartphone. Google Assistant is available to most Android 6 Marshmallow and Android 7 Nougat phones.
