How to Connect a Nest Thermostat to Google Home
Once you have both your Nest thermostat and Google Home device installed, use the following process to connect the two devices.
Open Google Assistant. In the upper-right corner of the screen, tap your profile picture to open the main menu, then scroll down and select Home control. Select the Devices tab and, in the lower-right corner of the screen, tap +. Scroll down and select Nest. Sign in to your Nest account to see your thermostat and any other Nest devices you have. Assign the devices shown to a location or room in your house. You can customize rooms later if needed. Now you’re ready to talk to Nest.
How to Use Nest With Voice Commands
After the two devices are connected, the fun begins. There are several commands that will control your Nest and the temperature in your home. Say “Hey Google," and then say:
What’s the temperature inside?Make it warmer [or cooler]. Set the temperature to 75 degrees. Raise [or lower] the temperature 4 degrees.
Google Home and Nest both connect to IFTTT, so use the service to create your own voice commands, as well.
