Can the Nest Mini receive a notification when the power goes out at home?
I suppose that sending a push notification when the power is turned on or off at home is a simpler approach.

Hey everyone, 

 

Thanks for visiting the Community. 
 

If you're referring to receiving notification when Google Nest devices are turned off, yes, the Google Home app can notify you of a variety of home and device updates such as new home members, account changes, product updates, and device specific notifications. You can control whether or not to receive these notifications in the settings of the Google Home app.

 

Notifications in the Home app are set to off by default. If you're setting up the app for the first time, or you're adding a new device to your home, the app will ask you if you want to turn notifications on. If you keep notifications off, you won't receive alerts about activity in your home, such as if a camera detects motion or if someone has rung the doorbell.

 

To do that, you can follow these steps:

 

  1. Open the Google Home app Google Home app.
  2. Tap Settings and then Notifications.
    • If push notifications are not enabled in your phone's settings, a banner will appear at the top of the screen. To turn on push notifications in your phone's settings, tap the link in the banner and follow the steps.
  3. Select General notifications.
  4. Turn any notifications on or off.
    • If you turn on critical alerts, but they're not enabled in your phone’s settings, a banner will appear at the top of the screen. To turn on critical alerts in your phone's settings, tap the link in the banner and follow the steps.

Hope this helps.
