Google has added a new Air Quality Index (AQI) feature to Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max devices in certain parts of the US.
EVERYTHING you can do with Google Nest Hub
The announcement, made on the Google Nest Help page, notes that air quality information will be displayed on the ambient screen of Nest Hub devices. The AQI badge will be included in the clock/weather widget for users.
Google says the reason for this new feature is the wildfire season that is currently ravaging several states, as well as the increasing efforts to reduce air pollution. The company wants to inform people about the air quality in their area to better protect themselves and sensitive individuals from polluted air.
The function pulls data from the Environmental Protection Agency's AQI database and displays the information using a numeric value from 0 to 500 and an associated color scheme.
