Google has updated the Alexa skill to allow customers with a “mixed” home ecosystem to manage the latest Google Nest Cams via Amazon’s voice assistant, Alexa. The announcement, official, went through the Google Nest Community, the Mountain View blog dedicated to the products of the Nest range.
The new compatible products are as follows:
- Google Nest Cam for outdoor or indoor, battery or corded
- Google Nest Cam with a spotlight
- Google Nest Doorbell a batteria
Amazon Alexa now supports live streaming viewing from security cameras and doorbells through the Echo Show, Fire TV, and Fire tablet. With the Doorbell doorbell, you can also talk to whoever waits behind the door or gate through Amazon devices, Alexa will act as an intermediary.
Coming soon, Google assures us, that the voice assistant of the e-commerce giant will be able to notify the homeowner when a Nest device detects someone waiting at the door. It was previously possible to ask Alexa to adjust the temperature on a Nest Learning thermostat or play live images from an indoor or outdoor Nest Cam and Cam IQ and wired Doorbell on Amazon devices.
