Managing timers on Nest Hub and other Google Assistant speakers has always been a bit inflexible, but there’s a new feature coming. For some, the At a Glance widget on Pixel phones is now rolling out the ability to control timers from Nest Hub and other Google Assistant speakers.<\/p>\n

The At a Glance widget is available on Google Pixel devices and shows contextual information such as activities seen by the Nest Doorbell, flashlight status, earthquake alerts, commute details, weather forecasts, and timers\/stopwatches in the Google Clock app.<\/p>\n

But now, Google appears to be rolling out support for timers from other devices.<\/p>\n

As we first reported back in July, Google has been working on adding support for showing timers from devices such as the Nest Hub as a part of the At a Glance widget on Pixel devices. Now, the option is rolling out at least in a limited capacity. <\/p>\n

We’re not seeing the option live on our devices just yet, but for those who are seeing it, it adds another setting to the \u201cmore\u201d section of At a Glance settings labeled \u201cCross Device Timer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Importantly too, when the timer goes off, there’s also a notification from Google Assistant that allows the user to stop the timer on that device or extend it by a minute. So this isn’t just a visual representation, but also supporting controls over these timers. This only works for timers, though, not alarms. Our tipster \u2013 who is using a Pixel 7 Pro \u2013 said that timers showed up on their Pixel within seconds of starting the timer on another device.<\/p>\n

Notably, our tipster also saw a Google Opinion Rewards survey not long after seeing the timer status for the first time. We saw the exact same behavior with At a Glance’s recently-added food and grocery delivery status, just before a wider rollout of the feature.<\/p>\n

It’s not entirely clear how widely this is rolling out at this point, but it seems reasonable to expect a wider rollout in the coming few weeks.<\/p>\n
