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.

would be much better if a method was provided to delete stale devices, If you do the unlinking method and you still have a lot of devices you are using you would need to set them all up again. !!! Updated from your response, you didn't read it properly, i am not unlinking a service, for example Nest, because i have a lot of camera's that are active and working, just to delete a couple of stale cameras, it makes no sense to have to all that work, at leasy give us a way to hide stale devices.

Night vision OFF setting is gone?? Bring it back! My camera was in black & white "night mode" until 10am on a sunny day! Unacceptable. Edit- Article response is useless, it stayed "night mode" 4+ hours past dawn on a sunny day. I want it OFF. I have lighting. This feature was always there until recently. Bring it back! Or at least have some adjustability for light sensitivity. 10am is far past "night".

--- Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) The Google Home app is okay overall, but not great. I use it to control a few smart devices, and when it works, it's actually pretty convenient. But it can be frustrating—sometimes it lags or disconnects for no reason, and that's annoying when you just want things to work smoothly. The layout isn’t super intuitive either; it could definitely be simplified. As someone who’s into tech and likes things to run efficiently, it need more polish and stability.
