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.

Honestly it gets incredibly infuriating that, after 2 years of dealing with routines, that won't play the specific playlist i want and still no fix. I have tried every solution google gives just like a bunch of people, and it doesn't work. I am an eclectic musical listener, so I create specific playlists. You'd think They'd fix it by now bit they won't give a specific reason why it happens either, only the same "solutions" that don't work.

App used to have a keyboard for command entry. It no longer does. I'm hearing impaired, so voice commands are problematic. I really would appreciate having the ability to type commands again. Also, because only voice commands, and my hearing issues, it rarely understands what I'm saying. *a year later and this is still an issue. seriously, a keyboard option for us with hearing issues. come on. 7-25-25

great when it actually shows video. Mostly I get notifications of movement or package seen then open the app to a spinning progress wheel and blank image. Ineffective at least 75% of the time. I'll also get parts of activity, like someone walking away but not them walking to the door. I pay extra for storage etc so you would hope reliability would be increased. Nope.

Hello there. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that receive notifications of activity but then have the app fail to display the video footage, showing only a spinning wheel or a blank image.
