Google Nest WiFi (non-Pro) Matter support

[DennyL]

I have two Nest WiFi routers and one Nest WiFi point that I would like to use with some Matter-enabled devices.

I know the Nest WiFi router & point use a Thread Mesh network but I don't know if they support Matter yet.

On the page linked below on the line entitled 'Matter-enabled' it shows 'Coming soon' for the Nest Wifi router and Nest Wifi point -

• Nest Wifi and Google Wifi products compared 

I can't determine when that page was last updated, can anyone tell me if they are currently Matter-enabled or when they will be?

Thanx,

~DennyL

The firmware release notes says something about thread border router support at least:

• https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/13800967

Specifications also says that Matter is "coming soon":

• https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6280668?hl=en

Edit: Also found this, but only Nest Wifi Pro is mentioned:

• https://developers.home.google.com/matter/supported-devices

I escalated the thread in hope of getting more info from Google.

Hi DennyL,

I totally understand that it's a good feature to use with your Google/Nest Wifi routers and your Matter-enabled devices, but the feature is not available. Limited options would be the link provided above by olavrb. I'd suggest you submit feedback about it. Let us know if you have other questions or concerns; we're here to help in the best way we can.

Best,

Dan

olarvb,

Thank you so much for researching those very informative links, I'll bookmark them so I can track the progress on this 'matter' 😉

Also, thanx for escalating this issue, can't hurt and maybe we'll find out if they have an implementation date that they can share.

P.S.  I'm a product expert in other forums and am familiar with escalations, etc. and I know that Google is reluctant to reveal projected dates for these things since they can change so I understand your position.

Happy to help. 🙂

Great pun.

Got it, thought the name was familiar. I just escalate because that's all I can do, we don't get more info than regular customers you know.

Matter has been "coming soon" to the Google Nest Wifi router for more than a year now. I wonder for how long would they leave us waiting. I would like to ask if someone has an estimated date when Matter will be available for this device?
