Feature Request (Temporary/ limited access).

To whom it may concern,

I have a couple of feature requests.  The first request would be temporary, limited time access, to google home. With this feature, a user could grant access to their google home devices for a temporary amount of time. Example: Some one leaves town for two weeks on vacation, they give temporary access to a house-sitter so then house-sitter can keep an eye out for packages, open the garage door remotely, and use the assistant to turn on or off the lights.  When the homeowner returns, the access is revoked.  Another example would be renting out an AirBnB.  The owner could provide access to the Nest Hubs and Chrome Casts in the AirBnB for the users that have rented the AirBnB.  The renters could have the option to turn off any cameras and/or microphones for their own privacy's sake.

The second request is Limited access.  This would allow a user to invite guests to have limited access to their Google Home smart devices.  For example, my mother has a Nest doorbell outside and a Nest camera in her living room.  My sisters and I like to keep an eye on her as she has passed out before.  Right now, the only way we can have access is if we are invited into her Google Home, which includes her Nest Thermostat, all of her Nest Mini's, her ChromeCasts. etc.  There have been times where we have accidentally turned on her lights or adjusted her thermostat.  It would be nice if she could invite us to have access to only her cameras.

 

Thanks for your time!
