The feature was spotted in the Google Assistant under the file-box-shaped icon on the lower-left-hand side of the UI. For clarity, that&#8217;s where the AI-driven tool provides an overview of users&#8217; days.<br \/>\nThe purpose of the app is obvious, tucked right into its branding. On appearance, Google bills it as a way to help families maintain their schedules with helpful reminders. Suggested pre-built 'bells&#8217; include everything from reminders that it&#8217;s time to study for the big quiz to bedtime reminders. Of course, there are also pre-built reminders to grab a snack, do some yoga, get some outside time, and more.<br \/>\nThe intention here is to help families remember to do a much wider variety of things. And custom notifications are part of that. So users can set their own reminders, complete with a reminder message, date and time, and more. There&#8217;s even a toggle to turn bells on or off so they aren&#8217;t lost if they need to be disabled for a while.<br \/>\nFamily Bell is much more customizable than standard reminders<br \/>\nBut this goes much deeper than simply pushing notifications to every device within a system. In the settings for Family Bell, Google allows reminders to be sent for individual devices. So, if the reminder is intended for a specific member of the family, it can be sent directly to their Google- or Nest-branded smart speaker or hub.<br \/>\nFor example, a reminder might be intended to let a younger family member know that it&#8217;s time to get off of video games and go outside. If they have a smart speaker in their room, Family Bell allows that to be sent straight there instead of playing everywhere.<br \/>\nWhen will this arrive?<br \/>\nFamily Bell has only just made its way to some users and appears to be in testing. That means that, for now, the home automation-related feature not going to be widely available.<br \/>\nGoogle itself hasn&#8217;t announced the new feature either. That may actually be because it was forced to cancel its Google I\/O developers conference earlier this year. Typically, these types of features would be announced at the event. But it seems more likely that it simply isn&#8217;t ready yet since other features were announced via less traditional means.<br \/>\nFamily Bell will deliver custom reminders on a more individual basis<br \/>\nThe post Google Tests Individualized 'Family Bell&#8217; Reminders For Smart Homes appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Google-Assistant-Android-Q-AM-AH-2-1-600x450-1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Assistant is getting a new feature called &#8222;Family Bell&#8221; that could soon deliver better, individualized reminders.
