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 experience using this app on Pixel 8 pro has deteriorated to the point of unusability. Devices take minutes to load, if they load at all. Many previously usable features and event data are completely missing from the UI. I do not know exactly when they changed this, but it feels like something major broke in the last 1-2 months and I can no longer reliably control my devices from this app.

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.

Google Home App & Hue: Great, But Gemini's Color Control is Bugged! The Google Home app on my Android device is fantastic for general Philips Hue control – dimming, changing standard colors, it's all seamless. I initially wished for more custom colors like "fluorescent yellow." I've learned Gemini should handle these, but frustratingly, Google Home gives an "device not compatible" or similar error message when Gemini tries to set them. This bug needs a fix to truly unlock full color control. Sti
