Create a more organized and personalized smart home with Google Home. Set up, manage, and control your Google Nest, Wifi and Chromecast devices, plus thousands of compatible smart home products like lights, cameras, thermostats, and more – all from the Google Home app.
Personalize your home view.

The Google Home app is designed to show you the status of your home and keep you up to date with what you may have missed. Check in on your home anytime and see a recap of recent events.
Control your home from anywhere.
Google Home for Wear OS allows you to control compatible smart home devices from your watch.

Use the favorites tile or add a device to your watch face to make managing your home as easy as a tap on the wrist.
A helpful home is a private home.
Protecting your privacy starts with one of the world’s most advanced security infrastructures, which we build directly into Google products so they’re secure by default. And Google uses your compatible devices and data to make your home helpful, but only in the ways you allow.

The built-in security in your Google Account automatically detects and blocks threats before they reach you, so that your personal information is secure.
We build privacy tools that keep you in control.
