Google has introduced new updates for older smart home devices, including certain Nest models, with enhanced features available through a new subscription service called Home Premium.
The Home Premium subscription mirrors the existing Nest Aware pricing and offers two plans:
- Standard Tier: Priced at $10 per month, this tier includes Gemini for Home and Gemini Live, automation capabilities, 30 days of event video history, intelligent alerts, familiar face recognition, garage door and package detection, smoke and CO alarm alerts, and zoomed-in preview notifications.
- Advanced Tier: At $20 per month, this package includes all Standard features plus Ask Home for video history, AI-driven notifications and descriptions, Home Brief summaries, 60 days of event history, and continuous 24/7 video monitoring.
Additionally, the Google Home features are bundled at no extra cost with Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra plans.
