The connected home is a major part of Google’s gadgets ecosystem, but Google I/O tends to be more focused on the new abilities coming to the smart home rather than the hardware. We’re likely to hear about new features and integrations, and how Google is attempting to make its Home control app a little more robust. Hopefully, we’ll also hear more on the interface it’s preparing for the leaked Nest Hub, which is supposed to act like a centralized smart home controller, akin to the still-unreleased Samsung Hub. We might also hear about why Google is rolling FitBit results into your Nest Hub smart display.
