But the older devices and future Nest cameras will. The next time you connect to the home’s Wi-Fi, open the Home app to finish Google Assistant setup, which adds you to the devices connected to the same Wi-Fi. So I had a nest thermostat installed, and it's all fine on the nest app, however I wanted it to then connect to my google home so everything is all in one place.
Scrolling through 24/7 recording on the new Google Nest cameras, quite frankly, sucks. It’s slow to load, and breaks 80% of the time. If you scroll through more than a couple of hours of footage, the Home app’s feed inevitably breaks, showing either a blank screen or an error message. That’s not a problem for most actual security needs, but it’s rather frustrating if you’re trying to view changes from the camera’s view due to, say, weather.

After you connect your smart devices in the Google Home app, you can use the Google Home app to control them. If you have a Google Nest or Home speaker or display, you can also use voice commands to control your smart devices. Google told us last August that it was “working on bringing the full functionality” of older Nest products to the Home app. Obviously, that still hasn’t happened.

Google does not perform your Pro installation and has no responsibility or liability for the installation. We partner with Handy and OnTech, who are independent of Google. Handy is a platform for home services that connects individuals to professional installation partners, including OnTech, who will install your Google Nest Products. The professional installer connected to you is not an employee, subcontractor, or agent of Google. For your convenience you can pay for your installation through Google Store, but Google accepts the payment on behalf of Handy, whose network of licensed installers perform the installation.

Regardless of which method you’re using, it’s a good idea to note that you’ll need to use the same account as is used for both apps. Other members should no longer have access to the devices or services you set up, including Nest thermostats, alarms, locks or cameras. If you set up a Nest Cam with your Nest Hub Max, the Nest Hub Max should also no longer be available. If your camera has a 1st gen Nest Aware subscription, cancel the subscription.
A wired camera to see who’s inside, lights on or off. Install your lockin its new home, and then add it back to the Nest app. You need to get an entry key from the thermostat and enter it into the Nest app. At the top right corner, tap SettingsAdd product.

If you’re the only member of the home, the home gets deleted, including home data such as video history footage and thermostat settings. To organize and manage your devices in the Google Home app, you can create a home. Then, you can invite home members who will share control of the home and its devices. For example, you can put your grouped living room speakers, office lights, and thermostat into a home, and invite your family to be members of that home. The process to get to the feature is also somewhat different, depending on the app you’re using. So we’ve split this guide into two — one for Google Home (for newer, battery-powered nest devices) and another for older gadgets.
Nest Cams encrypt video to keep your data private, include two-step verification for automatic protection, and provide enhanced security through your Google account.

There’s even a Nest Cam with a floodlight to boost security. Get alerts just for things you care about, like people, vehicles, and animals. You can also set Activity Zones that cover only the areas you want to be notified about.
