Last year at Google I/O 2024, we announced our Home API's and Home runtime, enabling all app developers to build innovative experiences for the home. Our Home API's give app developers access to over 600M devices, Google's hubs and Matter infrastructure, and an automation engine powered by Google intelligence.

Today, we are thrilled to share that all developers can now access the Android version of the Home APIs in public developer beta, with the iOS version coming in H1 2025. During the public beta, developers can begin building and testing their apps with up to 100 users in preparation for the launch of the Home APIs later this year. To get started, visit the Google Home Developer website.

We've built our Home API's to help app and smart home developers bridge digital interactions and physical devices to deliver the next generation of delightful experiences. With the Home APIs, you can focus on building amazing experiences for your users, and Google provides the rest. The Home API's consist of the following:

• Device and Structure APIs
• Commissioning API
• Automation API

Eve, LG, and Nanoleaf became some of our first partners to launch new apps and features built with the Home APIs in the Google Play store. Additional partners are taking advantage of the Home APIs to build innovative, cross-platform experiences including leading brands like nanoleaf, Aqara, GE, Cync, and Yale.
