Nvidia's demonstrator said "show me the baby's room" and the TV switched to a view of the Nest camera in there.Ĭheck out the video above for more from Nvidia's demo. It can also control any Smart Home device, like Nest Thermostats and cameras, that can natively be controlled by any other Assistant device like Google Home.It can control Wi-Fi devices and, with the addition of a $30 SmartThings USB dongle plugged into the back of Shield, Zigby and Z-wave SmartThings devices, too. I didn't test it myself, but during a demo Nvidia gave me, the Shield was able to control lights, raise blinds and even react to a garage door opening, to trigger an "I'm home" smart-home routine. "Turn on/off the TV" uses HDMI CEC and, like with Amazon Fire TV, results varied and not every TV supports the command.You can also have the TV turn off, but you'll have to leave your receiver or soundbar on. It plays songs on demand, through your TV or AV system. Spotify, Google Music and Pandora are supported.I had to say "Launch Sling TV" to launch the app.

"Watch Sling TV" just provided me a list of YouTube videos about Sling TV.The same command from within Amazon, for example, just did a global, cross-platform search as opposed to showing me popular Amazon shows. Unfortunately it only "knows" about supported apps, including Netflix and YouTube.I said "Find popular TV shows" and it gave me the list of shows within Netflix, not globally. Unlike Alexa, it "knows" what app you're in and tailors results accordingly."How do I use assistant?" brought up a nice screen of suggestions.

The on-screen prompts work just like Assistant on a phone, suggesting stuff to say and flashing what Assistant heard after you say it.

The mic just doesn't seem as good as what's inside a Google Home speaker. It worked best on the coffee table in front of me (Nvidia says the battery lasts two weeks with ambient listening enabled), but when I got farther than about eight feet away, even in a quiet room, it didn't work as well and I had to raise my voice.

Placement of the controller is key for far-field commands.

But like any new voice command system, don't expect miracles yet. Overall the system shares a lot of similarities with Amazon's integration of Fire TV devices and Echo Dot, which I also liked. Most commands worked as expected, although for a lot of stuff, particularly on-screen navigation, you'll need to have the remote in-hand anyway. I spent a little time over the last day talking to Google with the controller on a table, in far-field mode, and so far it's pretty good. That little hole on the controller hides the far-field mic.

It feels kluged, but the system still has pretty much all of the functionality of a Google Home speaker, with the bonus feedback of big-screen visuals from your TV. In the meantime, you'll use the controller as a mic.
