Vacation Home camera sharing

ZoarRoad

hello,

I'm trying to set up a local neighbor with access to our vacation home's google home camera and thermostat system.  The more eyes the better.   

When I invite a house member the only choice is to grant full access to the invitee.  Why is there not a choice to 'see' the stream and settings without being able to modify them.  makes no sense.  Please address.

Many Many Many users on this forum have been requesting this feature for well over a year.  Hoping to see it in the future but for now updates are coming out of Google at a very slow rate.

What's really sad is that access can be shared to older Google Nest cameras and doorbells with a public or private link in the Google Nest app (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9227530?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DiOS&oco=0#zippy=%2Csh...). But because the newer cameras work only in the Google Home app, this option is not available on newer cameras.
