It connects via Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 and can also act as a Thread 1.3 border router. You can pair up to two speakers with the Google TV streamer “to turn your living room into a mini home theater with spatial surround sound,” says Google.

You can also have Gemini describe current or recent activity captured on your Nest cameras and ask it what happened around the house while you were away.
