2021 Nest Cameras on Alexa Show

jmor — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 18:27:07 GMT

I am having problems adding the 2021 model cameras to Alexa control.

1. Bought 2 new model 2021 Nest cameras.
2. Downloaded Google Home app on iPhone.
3. Scanned QR for cameras and added them to Google Home fine on my Google account.
4. Opened Alexa app and tried to enable skill "Google Nest".
5. It shows no devices found even though I am logged in to my Google account.

It found my Nest thermostats and Nest Hello doorbell camera fine and Alexa is controlling them. But I cannot get my two new 2021 Nest Cameras (Nest Cam (outdoor or indoor, battery)) to show up or be discovered. Any help?

The new Nest devices (and associated Home App), do not support integration with Alexa, unfortunately. It's not clear that there ever will be an Alexa skill that works with Home App devices.
