The system supports all devices in the Google Home ecosystem, including Nest products and Matter-compatible devices. Access is initially rolling out to U.S. subscribers of the premium Google Home Advanced plan ($20/month), with no confirmed timeline for broader availability. Google is seeking feedback from early adopters during this phased rollout.
