Google home app categories removal from favourites tab

Aks25 — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 07:46:33 GMT

There is no option to hide/ remove categories from the Google Home App. These catagories like Climate, Camera, Lighting are auto created by google, but I dont find that useful.

Is there a way to remove them from favorite tab of app.

I think they're very useful because if you're looking to turn on a light you're not having scroll through every Room on the Devices page to find it.

I also change the device type on sockets to Dehumidifier, Humidifier, Air Conditioner or Fan so that they can all be easily found in 'Climate'. Also these plugs will then be able to turned on or off after a certain amount of time with a voice command.

Is there a way to hide or at least rearrange the categories widgets ??

I think probably removing all your lights and cameras from Google Home or putting them in a different Home might do that, but that's extreme.
