Welcome to episode 72 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. Abner, Damien, and Will reconvene to talk all about Google's recent smart home announcements. From Gemini for Home and Google's revised subscription service to the new Home Speaker and that very, very red Nest 2K smart cam, it's feeling like a fully revitalized smart home platform, and we're here to talk you through every announcement.
