We chose to transition to the Home app because this app is designed for the future of the smart home - a single place to set up, manage, automate, and control your home.

You can check out the recent Nest Community blog if you want to read more on Nest cameras and the Home app. Unlike the Nest app, the Google Home app was built to accommodate both battery and wired products, event-based and 24/7 continuous video history, while giving you a whole home view and history of your camera and doorbell feeds across all Nest cameras. Our new cameras, including the upcoming Nest Cam (indoor, wired) and Nest Cam with floodlight, were made specifically for the Google Home app. In this post, I want to share more about our commitments to you going forward. We hear you, and we’re taking your feedback to heart. Since launch, many of our long-time Nest customers have provided valuable feedback on our new Nest Cam (battery) and Nest Doorbell (battery) devices - particularly on the transition to the Google Home app experience.
