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.

Night vision OFF setting is gone?? Bring it back! My camera was in black & white "night mode" until 10am on a sunny day! Unacceptable. Edit- Article response is useless, it stayed "night mode" 4+ hours past dawn on a sunny day. I want it OFF. I have lighting. This feature was always there until recently. Bring it back! Or at least have some adjustability for light sensitivity. 10am is far past "night".

Awesome app but annoying bugs. Powerful app with many features, you can really get quite deep with customising and automation. I seriously love this eco system and highly recommend... however... please fix the annoying bugs! The worst, most stand out bug, is the "back" bug. When you click the back button in the app, or swipe gesture to go back from your device, the app just closes. App would be an easy 5 stars if they could get the user interface and flow working properly without crashing.

Hi, Andre! We are happy to help you. We're sorry to hear the Google Home app has bugs, especially a back button bug that causes the app to close. We understand it could be frustrating. We recommend you follow these steps: 1. Restart your mobile phone. 2. Uninstall the app and reinstall it. 3. Make sure you have the latest Android or iOS version.

Nest was perfect before the integration to Google home. Now, I got a pop-up after my entire home disconnected multiple times that the home app has a bug and to clear my cache. Home has gotten so much worse, now cams, security & speakers won't connect. I do not trust my system anymore. Google destroyed Nest and nothing works correctly. If I could give it less than one star, I would. Very disappointed. Tried troubleshooting w&w/o tech help .. issues just got worse. techs said eat my money. sad.
