About this app

Create a more organised and personalised 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.

Personalise your home view.
Pin your most-used devices, automations and actions to the Favourites tab for easy access straight away when you open the app. View your Nest cameras and doorbell live feeds, and scan through event history easily. 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 at 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 at any time 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 favourites 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 that they're secure by default. And Google uses your compatible devices and data to make your home helpful, but only in the ways that you allow. Visit the Google Nest Safety Centre at safety.google/nest to learn more about how we protect your information and respect your privacy.

Ratings and reviews

Google Home has completely streamlined my smart home experience. Voice commands are intuitive, and Google Assistant handles everything from controlling lights to playing my favorite music. I love the seamless integration with my devices, routines that simplify daily tasks, and the quick responses to questions. It's reliable, responsive, and truly enhances everyday convenience. A must-have for any modern home!

Like for many others, automation is broken on the pixel 9 display. Edge to edge display rollout is so UI breaking. You are the company who pushed edge to edge and yet you can't seem to even get it right either. I know this goes beyond the scope of this app, but for petes sake please give us an option in Android settings to toggle on or off edge-to-edge display if we don't want it. Because these cases are going to keep happening and we can't be left hanging with no recourse until a new update

--- 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.
