About this app

At Google Nest, we make products that are beautiful, helpful and easy to use. The Nest app is no exception.

Control your Nest thermostat, arm and disarm your Nest Secure alarm system, see your home with Nest Cam, and get an alert if Nest Protect goes off – all in one place. And receive notifications on your Android phone or tablet.

Nest uses sensors, algorithms, and the location of your phone to do the right thing automatically, turning off the heat and turning on the camera when you leave. Forget to set the alarm? It will notice, and send you a Remind Me alert.

Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Thermostat E

Thermostats that program themselves to help you save energy.

- Change the temperature from the subway or the sofa using your phone.
- See how much energy you used, and why.
- View and edit your schedule.
- Get extreme temperature alerts before your home gets too cold.

Nest Secure alarm system

- Arm and disarm your home remotely from the app.
- Receive a Remind Me alert if you leave home and forget to set the alarm.
- Receive a security alert on your phone telling you what triggered the alarm – a door or window opening, or someone entering a room.

Nest Protect

The smoke and carbon monoxide alarm that thinks, speaks, and alerts your phone.

- Get an alert if Nest Protect senses smoke or carbon monoxide. (Requires Wi-Fi and a working internet connection.)

- See the status of your batteries, sensors, and Wi-Fi connection.
- Run a Safety Checkup to test all your alarms at once. (Nest Protect 2nd gen only.)
- See your Safety History so you know when alerts happened and why.

Nest Cam IQ Indoor and Outdoor, Nest Cam Indoor, Nest Cam Outdoor, and Dropcam

The security cameras that let you see your home on your phone, inside and out.

- See what you missed with snapshots of the last three hours.
- Check in 24/7 with crisp 1080p HD video (Nest Cam and Dropcam Pro only).
- Get person alerts (or familiar face alerts with Nest Cam IQ) and up to 30 days of video history when you subscribe to Nest Aware. (Subscription service sold separately.)

Nest Hello

Know who’s knocking.

Nest x Yale Lock

The lock for a more secure connected home.

Works most of the time on my phone. Starting the app on my PC is a real pain in the a**. Having to sign into google several times then nest to get the app to work. It's hit and miss, sometimes it works. It's nice when it does. Same old, same old. Now it works sometimes after spending wasted time trying to open the app. Google makes it very difficult to get Nest up and running. Always hoping it gets easier but then as always it becomes next to impossible.

Thank you for the suggestions. The proximity of the camera and router is difficult to change. This is an outdoor camera. The wire out side has degraded and the outer white material had disintegrated. This may be part of the problem. I purchase a replacement camera , but the mounting I had (magnetic) I can't find and now have to figure out how I am going to attach it to my catio.

Hi Linda, we're here to help. You could try rebooting your Nest Camera and router for a minute to refresh the connection. Also, try moving your camera closer to the router and see if you'll get the same result. For additional assistance, reach out through phone, chat, or social forums: https://bit.ly/3o1aRK5

NEST THERMOSTAT Home/Away function VERY unreliable. Works 10% of the time. It responds when we manually command it remotely. I've spent a lot of time with their tech people with no improvement. Many times they don't seem to have any idea how the system works. VERY dissatisfied. And yes, I have rebooted both the phone and thermostat many times. Just doesn't help. Samsung S9+, S24 Ultra, S26 Ultra. Same thing. It ain't the phones!! Write better apps.
