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.

I really hate the Google chromecast features. Whenever I want to watch a video, it doesn't "Add to Queue". It plays straight away. And if I want to watch one music video, it will add the entire playlist. The "Stop Casting" is gone. Replaced by "Disconnect from TV". But when I reconnect it to TV, the playlist still shows up. I still prefer the older features. So much more friendly to use

Not happy! I've been using this for the last few years with no problems. Now, I have just paid for a streaming service that previously had no issues casting to my chromecast, but now it starts to load, then goes to a black screen with a blue casting logo. Have tried every trouble shooting guide on the web, with no luck. It seems I am not the only person with this issue and looks as tho google is blocking certain websites. I can still cast youtube, netflix etc.

I have been experiencing significant lagging issues, and I am unable to access past notifications on the Activity page. It has been over two months since I was last able to view my notification history. This is a major inconvenience, and it could potentially be a problem if I need to refer to past events for any reason. I rate this app a ZERO!!!!!
