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.

Couldn't believe it could get any worse, but since installing a new sky max hub, it has become unusable. Cannot add any of my speakers to rooms, google just keeps saying there was a problem connecting. Every time I say goodnight now, it asks to set an alarm, which I don't want. If I use my phone, it all works fine, but that defeats the object of having the minis around the house. Voices keep changing. Everyone in the house is frustrated with the minis inability to follow simple instructions.

Unreliable when playing audio (randomly stops and restarts) ; unreliable WiFi connection (even when right next to a WiFi repeater) - have to turn Chromecast audio device off and on or reinstall it, or turn Nest Mini on and off (and even then sometimes won't connect - says no WiFi even when next to the WiFi repeater). Chromecast devices and Nest Mini devices have become way less reliable - seems that software updates have reduced reliability enormously. Suggest you buy something else!

terrible app. always tries to play live versions of songs even when you ask for songs from specific albums. it's a known issue for years and Google chooses to do nothing. at this point, I assume that Google abandoned Google home years ago. it's wildly inconsistent. pot luck whether or not features will work as intended, even if they worked 5 seconds earlier. if I could give 0 stars, I would
