New Nest Cam Battery Powered Does Not Work With Nest App

The NEST app is amazing. The Google Home App is less intuitive and frustrating. Nest designers should help Google designers. Nest is like IOS - simple to use. Why would Google prevent new Nest cameras from working with the Nest app?

Hey folks,

 

Thank you for your feedback on this issue, I fully understand the frustrations of not having your new Nest Cams in the Nest App. I can imagine having to use two different apps at the moment is quite daunting, and could lead to frustration. 

 

However, the new Nest cameras and doorbell are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays. A Nest Aware subscription applies to all of your cameras, speakers, and displays in the same home structure. Thank you for your continued patience, and support. I am more than happy to assist you further with this inquiry if you wish. Please let me know.

 

Best Regards,

Brad.

I just paid a lot for a couple new Nest Cameras after a burglary. I cannot get either of the cameras to work. They keep trying to get me to get Chromecast to get them to work and the Nest App does not recognize them. Google should try to sell a good product than try to take over the world.
