Google Home introduces 'Admin' and 'Member' roles for better smart home control
Google Home 's latest update has added new "Admin" and "Member" roles to improve smart home control by allowing users to assign different levels of access. This feature, which Google began testing last year, aims to clarify who can manage smart home devices and services. Individuals designated as "Admin" will have complete control over all devices, services, and users within their smart home setup. Meanwhile, "Members" will be limited to basic device controls, such as viewing a security camera's live feed. However, "Admins" have the option to grant "Members" additional privileges. This includes providing "Settings" access for control over device and home-wide settings, or enabling "Activity" access so Members can monitor device history and recent events, like a visitor detected by a doorbell camera. How this Google Home update will make it easier for users to add kids under 13 Apart from the new roles, Google is also streamlining how children under 13 can be added to the Home app. After setting up a child's Google account through Family Link, parents can now invite them to their Google Home, where they'll automatically be added as a Member. Previously, the process required navigating through Family Link, Google Home, or Google Assistant settings to add a child's voice to the smart home system before sending an invitation—something many users found confusing. With the updated approach, inviting a child to the home can now be done directly within the Google Home app, provided they are part of the Google family group. The latest update, labelled version 3.33 of the Google Home app, is expected to be widely available soon as the company started rolling it out on June 30. If the app hasn't updated automatically, users are advised to check their settings to see if the update can be manually installed. Unlike many Google updates, this update does not mention a phased rollout, suggesting it should be accessible to all users immediately.

Google makes it easier to let friends and kids control your smart home
Ammon News - Google Home's latest update will make it easier to decide who in your household can control your smart home. It comes with a new feature, which Google first started testing last year, that will let you assign people 'Admin' and 'Member' roles. People with Admin status have full control of all the devices, services, and users within their smart home, while Members can only use 'basic' device controls, like watching the live view of a security camera. However, admins can grant Members additional privileges by giving them 'Settings' access, allowing for control over device and home-wide settings. Admins can also turn on 'Activity' access so Members can keep tabs on device history and recent events, such as a visitor picked up by a doorbell camera. Google is also simplifying the process of adding a child under 13 to the Home app. Once you set up your kid with a Google account through Family Link, you can invite them to your Google Home, which will add them as a Member by default. The previous process involved using either Family Link, Google Home, or Google Assistant settings to add your child's voice to your smart home before inviting them to your home, and many users struggled to get it to work. It seems Google is now streamlining the process by letting you invite a child to your home through the Google Home app, so long as you add them to your Google family group. The Verge

Google makes it easier to let family members use smart home devices
Google Home has a new update that will make it easier to let family members or guests control devices in your smart home. The newest Google Home update introduces "Admin" and "Member" roles. Like many systems, the Admin roles will have full control over the the devices, services and users connected to the smart home. Members, meanwhile, will only have "basic" access to device controls, like letting your kid turn off the lights or unlock a smart door knob. The lower level role can get additional privileges via "Settings" access that lets them have some control over device and home-wide settings. There's also Activity access that lets Members keep watch on recent events, like when packages are delivered and can be seen via the doorbell camera. The Member level has been in testing since December 2024, but it appears ready for the public now. Additionally, Google is making it easier to add a child under 13 to the Home app. You'll set up your kid with a Google account through the Family Link. From there you can invite them to Google Home, where they'll be added as a Member by default. Previously, to set up something similar you need to use a combination of Family Link, Google Home or Google Assistant to add your child to the smart home. Apparently, many people struggled to do so. The update is version 3.33 for your Google Home app. It should be available now, if your app didn't automatically update check your settings and see if the update is available.

Kyle Desai's 'Home': a heartfelt anthem that redefines connection
Kyle Desai is back on the charts with a new song titled 'Home'. Kyle Desai, the rising star in the country music scene known by his stage name KD, is back on the charts with a new song titled 'Home'. Hailing from Isipingo, his love for music ignited at the tender age of eight. Using two small green bar stools and a pair of spoons as makeshift drums, the young artist's passion was clear from the start. In an interview, Desai revealed the soul behind his new song, describing it as 'one of the most personal records' he's ever created. The concept of 'Home' extends beyond physical spaces; it embodies the emotions connected to relationships, memories and places that provide solace. 'Home is where you stop running and start feeling whole again,' he reflects, highlighting the honest and introspective essence of the track. The inspiration for 'Home' stems from Desai's relationship with his girlfriend. He explained that true connection often signifies home. 'Being with her showed me that 'home' isn't always a place; sometimes it's just being around the right person,' he confided. This steady, nurturing love serves as the backdrop for the song, inviting listeners to share in the warmth and security that love brings. Musically, 'Home' presents itself as a heartfelt, acoustic-driven country song. Desai described it as a simple, down-to-earth track with a warm sound that evokes memories of summer evenings and quiet moments with loved ones. 'It feels like summer evenings, slow drives and quiet moments with someone you care about,' he shared.
