There are rumors of a new tier-based plan from Google that is allegedly titled Google Home Premium. This service should be based on the existing Nest Aware plans, and may widen the range of smart home utility.
Google will find it difficult to win in a new market where clients are already reluctant to spend a month on a subscription fee unless it has something unique and valuable.
These are five aspects that would make or break the so-called Google Home Premium subscription.
Now, Advanced AI with Gemini Home
Full integration of Gemini to Home would be the most critical make feature. This would be way beyond the current simple Google Assistant voice recognition. A premium tier could unlock:
Proactive Help: The assistant anticipates requirements. As an example, it might get to know your routine and make you a morning brief or turn on the lights without consulting.
Natural Language Video Search: You can request the AI to show you all the videos of each delivery last week, and it would retrieve them instead of scrolling through the clips.
Smart Routines: Automations, which can change automatically, such as lights turning off when you are ready to watch a film.
Smart AI Detection and Professional Security Tracking
The competition already has great security, yet Google may be a pioneer in the field, giving attention to AI-based protection. It would be a break in case it adds a simple video history only. A complete security system with everything built in would be a make, and would include:
24/7 Professional Surveillance: A collaborator corporation that oversees your Nest cameras and doorbells, just like SimpliSafe.
Smart AI Notifications: Leaving the person option behind and broadening the scope to detect such events as a pet in the yard, a child in the room, or the glass breaking down.
Emergency Response Links: The system should have the capability to automatically contact the emergency services when there is a confirmed case of fire or intrusion.
Better and more dependable Automations
The free Google Home application has been enhanced, yet a paid plan might open server-based automation that is quicker and more reliable. Features might include:
Advanced Logic: Advanced setups like conditional rules ( AND, OR, and NOT ) will be added on top of simple circuit boards that have already completed simple routines, such as an if/then.
Improved scheduling: Fine time schedules with programmed delays (e.g., patio lights on at sunset, sprinklers on 30 minutes later).
Exclusive Integrations: More sophisticated connections to third-party applications and services not part of Matter, that attract power users with a diverse array of hardware.
Smart Storage and Device analytics
This operation is a continuation of the Nest Aware model. A premium plan should go beyond that to justify the price and provide:
Never-Ending Recording: 24/7 or unlimited video recording on all cameras, and not motion events only.
Video History: Adding even longer video histories, such as 60 days of stored video, to have greater peace of mind.
Usage Insights: A comprehensive dashboard with device activity, such as smart plug energy trends or a motion heatmap of the week.
Cross-Ecosystem Compatibility
Whether Google will build an actual seamless home can be the determining factor. A premium tier could deliver:
Enhanced device compatibility: Google Home supports its competitors, such as Alexa or HomeKit, effortlessly and with additional capabilities, all through the Google Home app.
Service Bundles: Offers other products. A package of Google Home Premium and YouTube Premium, Google One, or even Netflix would be of high interest to current Google users.
Conclusion
The hypothetical Google Home Premium subscription may be a turning point for the smart home of Google. Its success would rely on it providing more than just a Nest Aware rebrand.
Provided it provides sophisticated AI, high security, and powerful automations that will make homes smarter indeed, it will be successful.
