Is there anything quite as wonderful as unlocking the hidden potential of a gadget years after it debuts?

Technically, you’ve been able to arm the Nest Secure with your voice since it launched in November 2017 — as long as you had a different Google Assistant device, like a phone or a Google Home speaker, to listen to your commands.
