Google’s Pet Memory forgot who my cats are
One of the best things my smart home does is help me care for my pets, and security cameras are particularly useful for keeping track of my many critters. But the barrage of notifications they send often means I miss important ones.
AI Summary
Gemini for Home claims Nest cameras can identify pets by name, but the system fails to distinguish between two cats, Boone and Smokey. Because the cameras cannot reliably tell the animals apart, pet‑focused smart notifications and automations are largely ineffective. The Verge notes that the feature’s shortcomings limit its usefulness for owners who rely on accurate pet recognition.
