Google One might include Google Home Premium, redesigned Home app coming

Besides “Google Home Speaker,” there are more details about the “Home Premium” subscription that is replacing Nest Aware.

About APK Insight: In this “APK Insight” post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in case that they do ship. With that in mind, read on.

Like Nest Aware, Google Home Premium lets your cameras “record video when they detect activity.” You can also “teach compatible cameras to recognize who you know” (Familiar Faces).

Google advertises “Security that understands what it sees” to “Keep up with what’s important to you with detailed AI event descriptions, notifications, and daily summaries of what happened at home.” Strings today also reference E911 emergency calling. 

“Google Home Premium Advanced” is also coming, which is presumably Nest Aware Plus with 60-day event history and 10 days of 24/7 history.

Of note today is a line about how “Google Home Premium is included in your Google One subscription.” This is already the case for Nest Aware in the UK (since 2024), and it remains to be seen whether that perk will be expanded worldwide. That’s presumably Google One AI Pro and higher.

• “Google Home Premium is included in your Google One subscription. Get more video history and intelligent alerts by setting it up”
• “Google One bundles {product_name} and deep AI integration across Google apps for the best of Google AI in your home and beyond”

Meanwhile, today’s strings talk about a “redesigned app” with an “Ask Home” feature at the center: “Just describe what you want to automate, or ask to search your video and home history.”
