To go along with its (re)rebrand, it’s launching a new Google Home Developer Center that will house everything needed for you to learn and build smart home devices, applications, and automation with Google.
The dev center will include tools for building Matter devices and Android apps with Matter, customizing setup of devices in Android and via the Google Home app, creating automations and routines, analytics and performance monitoring, and even testing and certifying all of these before deploying them.
For those who aren’t aware, Matter is an open and universal smart home protocol that makes it easy to build, buy and set up smart home devices.
That means when you build devices with Matter, they can be easily set up and controlled by millions of users everywhere they interact with Google, including Nest speakers and displays, the Google Assistant, and of course Android devices.
There was a lot more announced at the summit, including a new smart home directory on the web and mobile, native Android support via Google Play Services, and a new Google Home Mobile SDK among other things.
