Google Home adds Workspace account support for smart home management
Technology
Big update from Google Home: you can now use your Workspace account you own or control to manage your smart home.
This means you can invite others to join your setup or accept invites yourself, pretty handy if you use a Workspace account for family stuff, not just the office.
Transfer Nest accounts, limited workspace access
You can also transfer Nest accounts and set up new devices like the latest Nest Thermostat or Doorbell right in the app.
But heads up: some features, like early access to Gemini for Home and certain Google Assistant tools, aren't available with Workspace accounts.
Plus, if it's not a personal account—like one managed by your school or job—admins could cut off access when you leave the organization, so be careful with what you connect.
