Moving forward, we’ll deliver that single experience through the Google Assistant.

We want to unify our efforts around third-party connected home devices under one developer platform – a one-stop shop for both our developers and our customers to build a more helpful home.

It also means Nest and Google Home devices and services can work even better together. Over the next few months, users with Nest Accounts will be invited to migrate to Google Accounts, benefiting from industry-leading protections and a single account across the Nest and Google Home apps, and all of Google’s other products. One Google Account to manage Nest and Google Home devices As a developer, you can find more information on our Device Access site. Read our blog to learn about these additions to Works with Google Assistant and all the ways we are creating a helpful home.

We’ll also invite smart home developer enthusiasts to participate in our Device Access for Individuals sandbox, allowing you to directly control your own Nest devices for your private integrations and automations.

For example, when it’s clear there’s nobody home, a Home Routine can turn down your thermostat, turn off your lights, and run your smart vacuum. These routines will work with your devices to know if you are Home or Away.

Routines allow you to automate smart home experiences, and we’re expanding the Works with Google Assistant capabilities with Home Routines that will give you more flexibility to get the most out of your smart home devices.With the Device Access program, we are enabling qualified partners to request secure access and control of your Nest devices in their apps and solutions, providing you more choices to control your home.Here’s what you should know about our partners and your integrations: That includes offering three additional ways to give you the integrations you’ve told us are important combined with protections to keep your data private and secure: the Device Access Program, Home Routines and Device Access for Individuals. We’re adding new solutions to make Works with Google Assistant an even more flexible platform, grounded in security and safety.
