Nest outdoor IQ won't migrate to Google Home App

Rerb — Wed, 07 Feb 2024 16:17:25 GMT

All off my Google products apart from my nest IQ outdoor has successfully transferred over to home app.

I have nest thermostat, smoke alarms, Google 2nd gen battery doorbell & home hub max. All fed with Google WiFi pro routers

The IQ camera is not seen when I add camera to home app, I can only use in Nest app?

I have just added 2nd gen battery doorbell & want to add two cameras to this account.

I just want everything on one app if that's possible?

The Google Nest IQ Cameras cannot (yet?) be transferred from the Google Nest app to the Google Home app, nor can the Google Nest Hello Doorbells or Nest Protects:

We've been using 2 apps ever since getting a (2nd gen) battery camera in Sept. 2021, and do NOT want to transfer our 1st gen cameras until Google Nest adds these Nest app functions that are still missing from the Google Home app:

Thanks for the info as I thought it was something I had done. I can access via other devices but still no control.

I do have a version 1 nest cam that I replaced with the iq, do these transfer over to Google Home?

According to Kia's blog post in the link I provided, you can transfer the 1st gen Nest Cam Indoor and the 1st gen Nest Cam Outdoor cameras. We have not done so because the Google Home app lacks so much Nest app functionality.
