Any update on supporting Nest Protect in the Google Home app?

raulml — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 03:20:38 GMT

I’ve been waiting for this feature for 2-3 years now but I don’t see any updates.

Is the Nest Protect ever going to be supported in the Google Home app? Can anyone from the Google Product team confirm and provide a timeline here?

I have 15+ Nest Protects installed, plus a mix of gen1 Nest Outdoor and Indoor wired cameras, Thermostats, Doorbell etc...Now I’d like to expand my system with new devices but, I still need Nest app support which is the app I still use 99% most of the time because of the Nest Protects. The 2 app approach (Nest + Google Home) doesn’t really cut it for me and I feel this is taking way too long. Please HELP!

I’d rather they bag the Home app and make all the nest products work in the superior Nest app - like they did before Google started actively destroying the Nest ecosystem.

Agreed and incredibly frustrating how Google ruined what seemed like a great brand. I've given up on Nest (sunk cost) and am moving to Simplisafe as this is their core business, and the fire detectors are much cheaper.
