Nest Connect Port Requirements

[jakewalters]

Hi, 

I am trying to set up a firewall rule to block traffic to and from my Nest Connect (Nest x Yale Lock), but understand that it must talk to Google in order to function. 

What ports must I allow in order to maintain functionality?

Hi jakewalters, 

Thanks for posting. During setup, port 11095 is used to connect some Nest products to the app. If you're having trouble connecting your Nest product, you may need to temporarily unblock port 11095 in your Wi-Fi router's settings to finish setup. Once your Nest product appears in the app, you can close port 11095 again.

You shouldn't need to open specific TCP or UDP network ports for inbound traffic for daily use of your Nest products. If you can check your email or use online banking with your browser, the needed ports are already open.

Let us know if that helps.

Best,

Zoe
