In August, Google announced it would launch a new video streaming set-top box, Google TV Streamer. It also revealed it was ending production of all of its older Chromecast devices, including Chromecast with Google TV.

This week, the Google TV Streamer officially goes on sale for $99.99. At the same time, the company is rolling out new updates for its Google TV operating system for all supported devices, including smart televisions and other streaming sticks, dongles, and set-top boxes.

In a blog post, the company said that the update will benefit people who have other smart home devices:

With the new home panel on Google TV, you can control all of your compatible smart home devices — including lights, thermostats and cameras — without leaving the couch. The new doorbell notifications also allow you to see who's at the front door without pausing what you're watching. And, if you can’t find the remote, you can control your devices using your voice and the Google Assistant.
