Local Home SDK ready for Actions

The Local Home SDK, developed by Google, has transitioned from its developer preview phase to a full production release, allowing developers to submit local fulfillment apps alongside their smart home Actions using Local Home SDK v1.0. This SDK enhances integration with Google Assistant by enabling local fulfillment, which reduces latency and increases reliability by routing commands through the local network, with a fallback to cloud fulfillment if necessary. It supports local device discovery over Wi-Fi using protocols like mDNS, UDP, or UPnP, and facilitates command transmission using TCP, UDP, or HTTP. The Actions console now features improved scan configurations, supporting multiple device families and a new user interface that clarifies protocol grouping and required fields. Developers can upload JavaScript bundles for their local apps and are encouraged to use the updated test suite to self-test their apps before submission. For further enhancement, developers are directed to resources such as the Introduction to Local Home SDK, developer guides, and a codelab, with an open invitation to provide feedback and engage with the community.
