Quick answer
Google Home updated smart lock support to include European mortise locks and fixed a 360p video resolution bug.
Google has announced an update for its Google Home smart home platform, expanding functionality and addressing technical issues. One of the key improvements is support for European smart locks, known as mortise locks. These devices feature two mechanisms—the latch and deadbolt—and Google Home can now manage them independently while more accurately displaying their current state.
Additionally, developers fixed a bug that caused streaming video from cameras to be locked at 360p resolution. Users can now view video in higher quality. A new subscription payment issue notification feature has also been added for paid Google Home services.
The update also benefits iOS users: temperature rounding in Fahrenheit has been improved, camera-related crashes have been reduced, and playback controls remain accessible even when the camera connection is lost. All changes are now available in the Google Home app.
