Move over, Amazon Echo — here comes Google Home

Google announced its new home assistant to compete with the Amazon Echo and it offers so much more.

Home has all the same features that it launched with Google Assistant back in May but now includes smart home controls.

You can play music, get answers from Google, manage tasks and control other devices all with your voice.

Google wants you to think of Home as the “hub” for the connected home.

So get ready to come home and turn on your lights and music with your voice.
