Control your smart home devices with the Gemini mobile app on Android (via) Google are adding smart home integration to their Gemini chatbot - so far on Android only.
Have they considered the risk of prompt injection? It looks like they have, at least a bit:
Important: Home controls are for convenience only, not safety- or security-critical purposes. Don't rely on Gemini for requests that could result in injury or harm if they fail to start or stop.
The Google Home extension can’t perform some actions on security devices, like gates, cameras, locks, doors, and garage doors. For unsupported actions, the Gemini app gives you a link to the Google Home app where you can control those devices.
It can control lights and power, climate control, window coverings, TVs and speakers and "other smart devices, like washers, coffee makers, and vacuums".
I imagine we will see some security researchers having a lot of fun with this shortly.
