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.

Ratings and reviews

The idea behind Google Home app is good, execution poor. We pay to have events recorded for later playback. Google Home app 95% won't playback video clips. It's the only app on my phone that seems to have a problem. If you complain through the app it is temporarily fixed for only 1 camera and 1 session. This has been a continuous complain now for over 1 year! I never had this problem with the Nest app. I can play any video I want on all other apps. This one fails the test and does not for.

For years, I have used this app and connected many Chromecasts to my TVs. About a month ago, I could not get anything to stream to my devices. I tried resetting them and to no avail, I am still not using any of my devices. I called my ISP and even reset my router. Nothing has changed on my end. It's definitely a Google thing. My kids are frustrated they cannot stream videos any longer.

I have had issues connecting my two Google Home Minis and can't seem to contact Google. The help number has been discontinued. I contacted my internet provider thinking they might be the cause. My internet signal was great! They tried to help me by walking me through the setup process. We tried Router reset, Google Home app uninstall/reinstall, resetting the Mini(s), and forgetting them. They just tell me to download the app. I loved using them in the past and would like to continue doing so.
