Google has changed its Google Assistant features to now follow light-switching commands in order to keep a quiet environment if the user is going to sleep. Google Assistant has not changed responses to quiet when presented with a voice command to turn the lights off. Instead, Google Assistant will now acknowledge light-switching commands with a chime. However, the new changes to the systems will only be in place for lights that are in the same room as the users.
Google also points out that the update will not only work with lights but also with any other items that have been identified as lights in the system, like switches or plugs. This means that the changes will also apply to things like desk lamps. The new feature will also work with any light-related voice command.
