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.

The automation feature is becoming less reliable. The app itself I find has not improved very much, if at all over the years. Also, I realize this next comment is not about the app itself, but using Google assistant via smart speakers has gone downhill significantly. I bought many Google products with the assumption that the experience would improve over time, not become worse. I'm very disappointed.

So many things... After 8 years, I can say this app hasn't evolved much except for a few questionable GUI changes. After all these years, Google is STILL pretending that the majority of us are happy with the annoying "Ok Google" hotword that activates anytime anyone says anything remotely close to "Google" and that includes people on TV. How is it we still can't change the freaking hotword?! It's often the wrong device or even my phone that picks it up! Also, music often randomly stops playing.

It seems Google keeps raising prices but the app gets worse and worse. It used to function well enough, getting notifications and alerts instantly. Upgraded to S24 Ultra earlier this year and now it's buggy and glitches. You want $220/year for recordings/playback, but even those are slow to play and often cut short. Fix the problems and I'll re-subscribe, until then, I'll stick with my DVR
