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.

The lack of widgets is shocking. You would expect Google Home to have widgets that allow you to control certain device/rooms or have device control shortcuts but no. How about a shortcut on home screen to turn a light on or off, control an entire room, change brightness or color of a smart light? Nothing! You have to open the app for everything. High time shortcuts and widgets for individual device, groups, or entire rooms/homes come to the app.

sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. when it does work it is very helpful and convenient. This is what happens: While in the Home App, I have my Smart Outlets to turn Lamp lights on/off and setup with a timer. The one outlet set with a timer I cannot control at all; it will turn on or off as scheduled (good thing) or sometimes randomly turn on and off not following schedule (not good). Always indicates "Off" though. I usually use the App to turn lights on or off; Icon always show off.

In principle, the app is great for controlling multiple devices, but it doesn't work properly, or the devices don't, despite the expense. I have 2 outdoor cameras plus the nest aware sub. I am inundated with notifications outside the zones, and don't always get notifications inside the zone. A recent example: my partner drives our car onto drive, walks around and enters the front door without a notification. 30 seconds later, a stranger walking past outside the zone triggers a notification!
