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.

I've submitted feedback through the app multiple times with no response. The recorded video doesn't load. I'm paying extra for extended 24hr video and can't access any of it. I even tried clicking on the link you provided and get a 404 error. Apparently Google home does not support VPNs. I deleted the app and reinstalled. After reinstallation the recorded videos loaded. Though almost all forms of support block access from a VPN IP address!

There isn't support help number. Following steps are clear on the nest panel as written for support help for seniors. I've followed directions to my best knowledge. It shouldn't be this hard to connect back internet. My upstairs work but downstairs doesn't. Working with the device trying to get to the panel has been bothersome and not user friendly with turning the dial and getting nowhere. I I've gone over troubleshooting several times and still at the beginning stage.

Since end of 2020, they have destroyed the ability to play songs from YouTube music on all the Google devices at the same time. It was able to do this from 2017 to Oct 2020. Users can do it for a handful, but when it goes to all, e.g. In my case 16+ devices, home, home mini, and Chromecast, audio gets corrupted. This is a well known bug, in Quora, Reddit, and Google forums but they seem incompetent to fix it after 2 years. I have spent many hours working with them, but they seem apathetic...
