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.

I have 6 Google home devices spread out over my house controlling lights, TV's, speakers etc... for years they worked very well and I loved my Google smart home. I felt like I was living in 2030. I have no idea what happened but my speakers buzz and click (the newest one) Google won't respond to my voice half the time. When it does respond it's wildly inaccurate. It can't find devices half the time for no apparent reason. It's a buggy mess. It's infuriating and I will be switching platforms.

Works ok if you have great wifi, I have had multiple Chromecast devices and Google devices, if there is any small issue with your wifi you will need to reset your devices completely and fully set up everything again. Home doesn't recognize that my cell phone is the only one I've ever used for setting google devices up and so if I have to change a setting I'm forced to hard reset the device and start over and hope it connects to the wifi again.

Changing the temperature settings on my Google Nest Thermostat is unnecessarily complicated and awkward. I have to go to settings, then temperature preferences, then temperature presets. I then have to modify every temperature preset that I want to change. Over time I wound up using the same single preset for every time slot of every day so I only have to change one thing. My last thermostat was much easier to set having a simple table for each day of the week. This is my last Google thermostat.
