About this app

Set up, manage and control your Google Nest, Google Wifi, Google Home and Chromecast devices, plus thousands of compatible connected home products like lights, cameras, thermostats and more – all from the Google Home app.

Turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat or get an alert when there’s a person or parcel at your front door. Google Home on Wear OS will be available as a preview as we continue to add controls and improvements.

One view of your home.
The Home tab gives you shortcuts for the things that you do most, like playing music or dimming the lights when you want to start a movie. Control it all with just a tap or two – and get to the good stuff faster. The Feed tab highlights important events in your home in one place. Here, you’ll also find ways to get more out of your devices and improve your home setup.

Create routines that allow you to turn on compatible lights, check the weather, play the news and more with one simple command.

See all the active audio and video streams on your compatible home devices in one place, change the volume, skip to the next track or quickly change which speakers they’re playing from.

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 at any time and see a recap of recent events. You can also get a notification if something important happens while you’re away.

Set up your Nest Wifi and Google Wifi in minutes using the Google Home app. Run speed tests, set up a guest network, and easily share your Wi-Fi password with family and friends. Use parental controls like Wi-Fi pause to manage online time for the children. Automatically prioritise video conferencing and gaming traffic on all devices, or decide which devices to prioritise for all traffic types. Get more insights into your network, whether it’s a notification when a new device joins your network or detailed insights for troubleshooting a poor Internet connection.

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. The built-in security in your Google Account automatically detects and blocks threats before they reach you so that your personal information is secure.

We build privacy tools that keep you in control.
Control your Google Assistant activity, privacy settings, information and personal preferences. See your activity, delete it manually or choose to delete it automatically. Control your privacy on Google Assistant with your voice. Ask questions like 'Where can I change my privacy settings?' to get answers to the most common privacy and security questions.

Visit the Google Nest Safety Centre at safety.google/nest to find out more about how we protect your information and respect your privacy.

The Google Home app has got better, but still awkward to use. I've been using it to control wifi switches for a while - no problem. But now I've swapped a couple of switches for a smart socket, and it's broken the Automations. Trigger an automation, it turns off the wrong switch. That switch was NEVER in the automation. So, I deleted the automation to re-create it. But it still runs, even though deleted. It's no longer in the app, or on the website, so how can I get rid of it properly?

Hey Tony, we're sorry for the trouble. We'd suggest doing a sequential reboot by unplugging your Google Home devices and Smart Switches for 30 seconds. Also, try syncing them to the Google Home app by saying "Hey Google, sync my devices". Reinstalling the app could help as well. For more help, visit: https://goo.gle/3ie15Ae

The app largely works as intended but there are a couple of annoyances. For example, when casting to Chromecast and the programme finishes, the media controls in the notification bar don't go away automatically and keep returning if you dismiss them, as if it's still playing. Also, if you're using the Google VPN to try and add devices it might struggle. Would be helpful to add this to the instructions, as disabling my VPN allowed me to add devices immediately.

Trying to connect to my WiFi network is impossible. Since I changed Wi-Fi network every device I have was easy to connect but not with the Google hub. To factory reset there should be a reset button but there isn't or anything to suggest connection. It was fine on my old Wi-Fi but now rendering useless. I find the terminology in the support not helpful. It's not really consistent with how the app function. It diagnosis the problem and tells you how to resolve, but when you look its not there.
