Google Home Member Device Control

Jolleyization — Sat, 31 Dec 2022 08:47:27 GMT

How do I limit certain Google Home members control to certain devices? Say for example there are 2 Xbox Ones in the house. I want control of the 2 via Google Home, but I want to give another Home member control of only 1 Xbox. This goes for a Nest Thermostat as well... Basically any device or home automation that can be controlled by Google Home. Is this possible? If not, why?

@Jolleyization

Unfortunately, Google Nest has only one level of "household" membership, and every member has "full access and control devices and services", so they advise to "only invite people you trust to become home members" (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9155535?hl=en)

Google Nest would have to answer why.

Hi folks,

Thanks for the help, @MplsCustomer.

@Sjp23, thanks for posting. I totally understand that this is a good feature to use with your Google Home app, but this isn’t available. I'd suggest you submit feedback about it, here's how.

Let us know if you have other questions and concerns otherwise, we will be locking this thread after 24 hours.

Thanks,

Juni
