Thanks to smart speakers and digital assistants like Google Assistant, being able to control our smart devices in our homes got a lot easier, where instead of fiddling with an app, we can just tell these digital assistants what to do instead. That being said the good news for Logitech Circle 2 camera owners is that the devices have recently gotten a bit of an update (via Android Police).In an announcement by Logitech, it seems that the company’s Circle 2 home security and monitoring cameras will now play nicely with the likes of Google Assistant and Chromecast. What this means is that users will be able to use devices like Google Home to control the cameras, and with the support of Chromecast, they’ll be able to project the video feed onto a bigger screen like a TV instead of watching from their phones.
According to Logitech, “This latest integration with the Google Assistant works on all Circle 2 Cameras (Wired or Wire-Free), as well as the first generation Logi Circle, allowing you to watch live video feeds of what’s happening in and around your home directly from your TV. In addition, the integration will continue to evolve, so people always have access to the latest smart home features and voice experiences they love.”
The feature is now live for users in the US, with plans to eventually roll it out to other users in Europe soon. More details on how to get the feature to work can be found on Logitech’s website.
