Делиться контролем над умным домом стало проще! Google Home запускает долгожданное обновление: теперь можно гибко настраивать права доступа для домочадцев. Речь не только о взрослых, но и о детях — можно выдавать разрешения на управление конкретными устройствами (розетками, светом, колонками) без полного доступа ко всей системе. 🎛️🔒 Удобно для безопасности и бытовых сценариев: например, разрешить ребенку включать музыку в своей комнате, но не трогать кофеварку. Функцию тестировали почти год, и она наконец выкатывается всем. Настраивается через приложение — ваша «умная» крепость под контролем. ✅

- Google Home’s
- latest update
- will make it easier to decide who in your household can control your smart home. It comes with a new feature, which
- Google first started testing
- last year, that will let you assign people “Admin” and “Member” roles.
- People with Admin status
- have full control
- of all the devices, services, and users within their smart home, while Members can only use “basic” device controls, like watching the live view of a security camera. However, admins can grant Members additional privileges by giving them “Settings” access, allowing for control over device and home-wide settings. Admins can also turn on “Activity” access so Members can keep tabs on device history and recent events, such as a visitor picked up by a doorbell camera.
