One of Google TV's best features in years is now available on your Chromecast

Toward the end of the third quarter last year, Google rolled out something fresh for Google TV: the Home Panel. It’s basically a slick new way to manage all your smart home devices from one easy spot. It first popped up on the Google TV Streamer and later made its way to Chromecast, but only for users who signed up for the Public Preview program. Now though, that early-access wall is coming down, with the Home Panel starting to land on regular Chromecast with Google TV devices and other TVs running Google TV.
