Google is giving older Nest devices a useful security upgrade – no additional costs required

Some of the updates coming to Google Home will require a subscription, much like the current Nest Aware subscription. In fact, the prices for what Google is calling a Home Premium subscription will carry over from Nest Aware.

Also: Your Google TV may be getting its biggest update in years – what Gemini offers at no cost

The company will offer two tiers: a Standard tier for $10 per month, and an Advanced package that includes Google One subscriptions, costing $20 per month.

The Standard tier will offer Gemini for Home, Gemini Live, automation features, 30 days of event video history, intelligent alerts, familiar faces, garage door and package detection, smoke and CO alarm, and alerts with zoomed-in previews.

Also: You can Google the world around you by video now for free – with Search Live

The Advanced tier supports everything in the Standard option, plus Ask Home for video history, AI notifications, AI descriptions, Home Brief, 60 days of event history, and 24/7 video history.

The Google Home features will be included with Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra at no extra cost.
