About this app

Create a more organized and personalized smart home with Google Home. Set up, manage, and control your Google Nest, Wifi, and Chromecast devices, plus thousands of compatible smart home products like lights, cameras, thermostats, and more – all from the Google Home app.

Personalize your home view.
Pin your most-used devices, automations, and actions to the Favorites tab for easy access right when you open the app. View your Nest cameras and doorbell live feeds, and easily scan through event history. Set up and manage Routines in the Automations tab. And quickly edit any permissions in the consolidated Settings tab.

Understand what’s going on at home with a glance.
The Google Home app is designed to show you the status of your home and keep you up to date with what you may have missed. Check in on your home anytime and see a recap of recent events.

Control your home from anywhere.
Google Home for Wear OS allows you to control compatible smart home devices from your watch. Turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat, or get an alert when there’s a person or package at your front door. Use the favorites tile or add a device to your watch face to make managing your home as easy as a tap on the wrist.

A helpful home is a private home.
Protecting your privacy starts with one of the world’s most advanced security infrastructures, which we build directly into Google products so they’re secure by default. And Google uses your compatible devices and data to make your home helpful, but only in the ways you allow. Visit the Google Nest Safety Center at safety.google/nest to learn more about how we protect your information and respect your privacy.

Ratings and reviews

Google continues to dumb down their ecosystem, nearly to the point of it being absolutely useless. Basic features like stopwatch, media alarms, and some broadcasting capabilities. Actually I can get past the removal of features but to also make the assistance dumber in general?! It fails to actually execute anything you ask it to do half the time. I've bought dozens of Google smart speakers/dispays over the years, I won't be buying anymore.

This version look more stable, there are things to fix like: Wyze Cam doesn't work, it show up active, but image is not available, keep saying "connectiin". Also integration with Android Smart TV is erratic, I can see that the cheaper tv (TLC) is playing content, but I can only control the volume from the Sony TV. I'm not sure Android TVs works so different from this app.

Used to work great. I often used it in the kitchen to find recipes and watch cooking videos. It used to display a full list of options. Now, it either only shows one recipe or it shows a google search that isn't calibrated to the screen, so you can't see any of the options. There is limited and unhelpful info online on how to fix this. I tried updating, rebooting, etc, to no avail. Now, it's not much different than the Google mini since the video option is so limited.

What's new

Over the next few weeks we’ll be rolling out the following update:
Lock the doors, dim the lights, change the temperature, and more with the new Google Home Favorites tile and complication for Wear OS, making managing your home as easy as a tap on the wrist.
