Google Assistant Is Compatible With Over 5,000 Smart Home Devices


Google Assistant was recently found to be much better than its competitors like Siri and Alexa. The company has been working on improving the experience for users with the aim of enabling them to control all of the devices and appliances in their home with just voice commands. Google has made significant progress in ensuring that Assistant works with all kinds of connected devices. It has announced this morning that Assistant is now compatible with more than 5,000 smart home devices.

That’s a considerable increase over the past few months given the fact that it was only compatible with some 1,500 smart home devices in January this year. The devices that it supports include security systems, dryers, lights, plugs, thermostats, fans, locks, sensors, doorbells, cameras, refrigerators, and many more.

Google also revealed in its blog post this morning that one of the most popular ways that people use Assistant is to watch movies and shows on TV and for music playback. Media and entertainment queries such as “play SportCenter” have surged 400 percent in the past six months, according to the company.

This is just the beginning and we can be sure that Assistant will be compatible with more than just 5,000 devices in the months to come. We’re likely going to hear about more devices getting compatibility at Google’s upcoming I/O event. The company has also revealed that it’s working with its partners to bring the Assistant to the next-generation of TVs that will be available later this year.

First Battlefield 1 DLC Goes Free On Xbox And PC


If you own Battlefield 1 but didn’t quite get around to buying its first paid DLC then you’re in luck. The first Battlefield 1 DLC has gone free for a limited time albeit only on Xbox One and PC. It’s actually free for the next couple of weeks so you have all the time in the world to download it before the clock runs out.

This isn’t some free weekend trial sort of thing. Those who download the first Battlefield 1 DLC for free before May 15th will be able to keep it indefinitely. This is a pretty good opportunity to get the DLC that normally costs $15 for absolutely nothing.

The first DLC expansion for Battlefield 1 is called They Shall Not Pass. It brings four new maps, six unlockable weapons, the Trench Raider elite class, two additional Operations as well as the Frontlines mode.

A total of four DLC expansions were released for Battlefield 1 and the idea with offering the first one for free would certainly be to entice players to spend money on the remaining expansions. Whether or not you want to do that is entirely up to you but in any case, a free DLC expansion is too good to pass up.

Battlefield 1 players on Xbox One can get the free DLC from the Xbox Marketplace and PC gamers can get it from Origin.
