Google Home finally gets a widget

There’s finally a Google Home smart home widget for Android.

There’s also a new Favorites tile and complication coming to Wear OS for accessing frequently used devices right from your wrist. The new Favorites widget lets you view and interact with the most-used devices directly on your homescreen, no need to open the Google Home app. Tapping on an icon takes you to the device’s controls in the Wear OS Home app, where you can unlock your door, dim the lights, or adjust your thermostat.
