The last one 9to5Google The “APK Insight” post reveals that owners with Google Pixel and Nest devices could see a useful integration.

“At a Glance” is a contextual function part of the Pixel launcher that displays information throughout the day, including weather, events, timers and reminders.

The ability to keep an eye on timers set with home speakers from your phone is useful as you don’t have to keep asking the home speaker “how much is left on the timer”. It is unclear whether this integration will be enabled via devices on a Google account or whether the timer information will be shown to any Pixel device on the same Wi-Fi network as the home speaker.

We guess you’d be able to ignore timers from a Pixel device, but we’re not sure what that would look like or how it would work visually. In any case, the following system icon will be associated with this setting.
