At Google I/O 2024, we announced our Home APIs and Home runtime, enabling all app developers to build innovative experiences for the home.

During the public beta, developers can begin building and testing their apps with up to 100 users in preparation for the general availability launch of the Home APIs later this year. To get started, visit the Google Home Developer Center.

Late last year, Eve, Nanoleaf and LG became some of our first partners to launch experiences built on our Home APIs in the Google Play store.
