When most people think about Google Assistant smart speakers and displays, they think of Google’s own devices. There’s no question that Google’s Nest Mini and Nest Hub are hot-sellers, but there are also many non-Google-made Assistant devices out there as well. These devices have typically lagged a bit behind in getting the same features as Google’s products. Third-party Assistant speakers are finally getting a few of these features.
Voice Match is a feature that allows people to get personalized responses when Google Assistant recognizes your voice. This is great for calendar events and reminders. You can add up to six people’s voices to a single speaker or display. Many Assistant devices already have this feature and have had it for quite some time. Google says it’s rolling out to more devices now.
Next up is a feature in the Google Home app that allows you to adjust the “Hey Google” sensitivity on specific speakers and displays. This feature was only formally announced a couple of months ago and it’s apparently available for more devices now.
Lastly, the ability to choose a default speaker is now available to more Google Assistant devices. This allows you to pick a preferred speaker for playing music/podcasts. You can ask for music on the kitchen speaker and have it play on your default speaker in the living room. This can be set up for any speaker in the Google Home app under “Device settings.”
Google is very vague about which devices are actually getting these features. Some of them have been around for a while and are already available on a variety of devices. Google loves to announce things several times and take their time to roll things out. All you can do is check your devices and hope that these features are now available.
