I got my nest thermostat working with Google home however it only stays functional for a day or so. Policy app and my Google home are not able to reach the nest thermostat. When I look on the device it says it's online. If I reset the nest thermostat it will work again for a few more hours. My old program thermostat was much better than this. Unfortunately I threw it away when I got the nest thermostat.

Tech support at Nest helped me fix it. I had the Nest App and the google home app on my phone. I only needed the google home app. I ended up uninstalling the Nest App and doing a factory reset on the Nest Thermostat then I re-added it to google home. I also had 2 different google accounts and the google home app may have been confused about which account I had given access to google home. It was hard to find the Nest support person but once I did find them they called me right back and were able to solve my issue.
