Default Star feature of the Google TV Streamer takes first step to coming to Chrome

  • Google is making the new Home experience, which came with the Google TV Streamer, available to the older Chromecast with Google TV.
  • For now, you’ll need to be in a limited-access Public Preview program to see it.
  • Once in, the service appears to work much like it does on the Google TV Streamer.
When Google launched its first set-top box streaming device — the Google TV Streamer — it simultaneously announced a new feature within Google TV: the ability to access a flyout Google Home app. Using this app, you can perform smart home actions, like turning on your lights, checking your cameras, or changing your home’s temperature.

Now, Google is rolling out the Home experience to its older streaming device, the Chromecast with Google TV (via 9to5Google). However, to use it today, you’ll need to take part in a Public Preview program, which might be a bit of a hassle for some. Still, the feature coming to Public Preview means that those of you who don’t want to join will likely get the feature quite soon, once Google irons out any bugs.
