Your Nest Cam can now tell you if you've left your garage door open, and the Nest Hello video doorbell can soon be added to the Google Home app.
Google announced this week that it’s rolling out support for its Nest Hello doorbell in the Google Home app. This allows you to transfer Google’s original video doorbell camera — aka, the Nest Doorbell — from the Nest app to Google’s Home app. Google is also bringing its garage door detection feature out of Public Preview, making it available to all users with compatible hardware. This uses a Nest Cam to alert you when your garage door is left open.
This will let you manage the doorbell and view recorded videos in the Home app , and connect your doorbell to other devices in Google Home to use it with automations — including using camera events as triggers. The doorbell, which first launched in 2018 has been discontinued in the US but is still available in the UK, currently shows live video in the Home app . However, you needed to use the Nest app for recorded video and other features — such as doorbell ring alerts.
