• Google TV Streamer’s home panel is now widely available on older Chromecast and Google TV devices.
• The home panel gives you access to smart home controls from your TV’s quick settings panels.
• It lets you control lights, thermostats, cameras, locks, plugs, other TVs, and speakers and even supports notifications from Nest doorbells.

Google is gradually rolling out all the new features it debuted with the Google TV Streamer to older Chromecast and Google TV devices. The AI-generated screensaver feature reached users earlier this month, and now, the Google Home panel is rolling out widely.

The new Google Home panel on Google TV gives you access to smart home device controls, allowing you to dim the lights, adjust the thermostat, or check your security cameras without reaching for your phone. The panel also offers notifications for your smart doorbell and lets you control locks, plugs, other TVs, and speakers.
