Hi @Karson1

Some important things to understand about the rollout:

The rollout of Gemini for Home voice assistant and Gemini Live is a gradual rollout, there is no way to get the upgrade faster.
The rollout hasn't yet started outside of the US. Google are starting with English in the US and will be expanding to other locales in early 2026.
Gemini for Home is being rolled out at the Home level and not by account. What that means is when you get the invite and choose to upgrade, it will upgrade all of the devices in that house (but not across other houses you may have associated with your user account). If you have multiple homes in the Google Home app, you may only be invited to enable Gemini for Home voice assistant in one of your homes.

Gemini is included in the feature list for home premium... It's not yet actually fully available despite that?

Be thankful you DON'T have it! Right now Gemini is a complete mess and complaints are running rampant! There are easily 100 complaints for every compliment about Gemini. If you did by change switch over, I posted a way to revert to the original Assistant on other posts but you may be SOL at this point. Good luck and again, if you haven't already "upgraded", DON'T

Kind of insane and at the very least disingenuous that Google is using Gemini home feature to justify the value of a Gemini ultra account and then you can't even use the Gemini home features. I have nothing but compatible hardware I have a paid account and yet I can't do anything but "opt in" to early access and "hope" I get to use what I pay for.
