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.

It is crazy! 300 years of Google Home and you still cannot use the most simple automation thinkable a BUTTON as a starter for anything. What a literal hell is going on and why is nobody talking about it!? And please fix routines mess. We have 2 different routine types: household and personal and to top it up theres default routines that cant really be changed. Personal cannot be favourites, household cannot have delays, both have different starters and actions available. It is very unusable...

Rough, wish it was the go to app for everything like it wants to be. Consistently disconnects my phone from my wifi when simply opening the app. I cannot view cameras (let alone quickly), cannot access lights consistently, just frustrating. Not sure if it's a pixel/Google home issue, but I'd assume they would work together in the same family.

I hate this app with every fiber of my being! And that's saying a lot after MS OneDrive sent 2GB of my photos into the internet ether. When Chromecast was released, all you had to do was plug it in and you could cast. NOW, it has to be managed thru this app to collect your data. BEFORE, no data collected & quick connection. NOW, my time and vacay is ruined bec even tho we followed every troubleshooting step, our CC won't connect to any Home apps. We could reset, but do I want another headache?
