AT&T’s smart home security system now integrates with Gemini for Home. The company says its Connected Life system is the “first” home security product to integrate with Google Home Premium, enabling a bunch of Gemini-powered features that can summarize home events, search your video history, and more.

With the update, Gemini for Home can provide detailed descriptions about events captured by your security cameras, such as who delivered a package and how many items they dropped off. You can also search recorded video footage using natural language questions, like “What dug up the yard last night?” or “Who let the dogs out?”, as well as review daily summaries of activity in and outside your home.

These features are only available with AT&T’s professional $29.99 / month Connected Life monitoring plan. AT&T is also adding the ability to automatically arm or disarm your home based on your proximity to your home.

AT&T launched its Connected Life system last December in partnership with Google and Abode. It’s now taking advantage of Google’s Gemini-powered Home APIs, which allow smart home brands and developers to build AI-powered features into their devices. ADT has also hinted at bringing Gemini for Home features into its security systems.
