Description
Create a more organised and personalised smart home with Google Home. Set up, manage and control your Google Nest, Wi-Fi and Chromecast devices, plus thousands of compatible smart home products like lights, cameras, thermostats and more – all from the Google Home app.
Personalise your home view.
Pin your most-used devices, automations and actions to the Favourites tab for easy access the moment 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 at 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 at any time and see a recap of recent events.
Control your home from anywhere.
Turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat or get an alert when there's a person or parcel at your front door. With Google Home for Wear OS, you can control your home right from your compatible smartwatch.
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 that they're secure by default. And Google uses your compatible devices and data to make your home helpful, but only in the ways that you allow. Visit the Google Nest Safety Centre at safety.google/nest to learn more about how we protect your information and respect your privacy.

Ratings and Reviews
Removing devices
It works great but I think your missing one big function and that is so you can remove devices from your wifi like the kids adding all their mates to the wifi you can only pause them not forget or kick them from the network like traditional routers
Trouble for Apple User
This would be great if it was easier and actually worked from an Apple iPhone. We have tried connecting to 2 different Chromecast devices and both times it has been a massive task and taken hours. From the Google Home app we can find devices and start setting them up. However, as soon as it gets to the step where the device has to be connected to the WiFi it says “connected” for a second then suddenly the “something went wrong” notice pops up. I have set my iPhone settings as recommended; also tried to reset my phone, the Chromecast device and WiFi modem but it still won’t work.
When we did eventually get it connected with one of the devices we tried, it was great!
A seriously awful platform
2 weeks ago I got google home setup with a few bulbs I ordered. I can see them, I can turn them on and off, great!
I added a routine to one so it woke my daughter up at a set time. Now I cannot find these settings anywhere. I’ve googled it and even official docs do not make sense. I’ve gone through every menu, cannot find the blasted thing. If I can’t edit a schedule, I simply have to stop using the app.
The app is a hot mess. Settings in 3 different menus. Persistent other menus on every page that contain largely pointless details like app versions and links to help. Menus that are just not clear and totally text based requiring you to really study the links - and still get it wrong - rather than skim. Really poor UI realestate usage. If you’ve looked at Apple’s home app and then tried using this for some non-HomeKit supported hardware, you’re going to have a bad time.
