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.

No longer provides notifications for motion detected on camera. Thank you for such a useless developer reply. Oh and for the support email that is no longer in use. The cameras are still detecting and recording events, it's the notifications that aren't working, and they haven't been working since the latest update. I have disabled and re enabled all notification settings in the app as well as my phones notification settings and it didn't fix anything. The app sucks.

Can't stop this from taking control of my phone and diverting the sound controls to the nest instead. I have changed all available setting, but I can't stop the home devices being constantly displayed on and affecting my phone! 😡 Note: I'm not casting the audio, my son is asking the nest to play music, and this automatically overrides volume controls for apps open on my phone. However, I suspect this is impacted also by the 'Android System Intelligence' app making unintelligent setting changes.

Home app itself isn't too bad. Manages multiple devices, no issues. My issue is specifically with the security part of Home app, with the doorbell and cameras. If my dog is wearing a jumper, the notification tells me it's seen a person. The cameras can recognise people, but you can't turn off notifications for them. So I get a notification every time I leave the house... Not useful. Google needs to step up its game on the home tech front.
