The best smart home devices that work with Google Home

When Google Home first launched in late 2016, there weren't a lot of compatible devices--especially compared to the popular Amazon Echo. Nowadays, though, Google has expanded its family of smart home devices to include the Google Home Mini (ships in late October for $49) and the Google Home Max (available in December for $399). And the list of supported devices is growing rapidly as well to include top brands and categories like lights, locks, thermostats, plugs, and switches. With plenty of options to choose from, it can be hard to know which products are the right ones for you. While we're devoted to reviewing every new smart home device we can get our hands on, it's also important to know which works best with each platform.
