If you've got a Nest Protect smoke and CO detector, now's your chance to fully integrate it with your Google Home setup.

You can now manage your Nest Protect alarms in Google Home, get alerts, and even silence them with a tap. The Google Home app also now offers more control over Matter-certified smart locks, including creating/editing passcodes, setting access levels, and tracking who has access and when.

Starting in the Public Preview, the Google Home app is finally adding support for the Nest Protect, as well as Matter-certified smart locks.

Some users found that their devices stopped responding to voice commands between Christmas and New Year's Day.

Google Home's Public Preview environment is preparing to deliver an update that expands support, features, and device control. Enrolled testers will soon experiment with third-party Matter support for smart locks and the addition of Nest Protect CO/smoke alarms.
