Goohle nest turns on

clodette84 — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 12:20:53 GMT

Second time happening. My Google nest turns on by itself in the middle of the night.

No one was there to turn it on (unless my dog learned how to speak), no power issues, nothing .

No activity is registered for that device. So what's the issue here?

Hey @clodette84,

What speaker is this happening on and does it run a specific command and say anything or do the lights just turn on?

There are a few places to check My Activity, is would recommend looking in the Google Home app under your profile, Home Settings, Privacy, Home History and seeing if anything is listed there.

I'd also look at your Automations to see if anything is causing Google Assistant to run at that time.

Let me know if you see anything off or if it still happening.

Brett

Hi, thank you for your reply. It's a Google nest, not sure about the version.

I checked on my account, but no activity is registered nor any automasation is present. The only automatisation is when I say "good morning" it turns on radio. But during those 2 episodes noone was talking (since everyone was sleeping), no TV was on.

And yes, also my device turns on the lights when there's a loss at WiFi , but never turns on the radio by itself

Forgot to mention: the 2 episodes happened at different hours: first time was 1am, last time was 6 am
