Hi
Thank you for being a valued customer and a part of the Nest family.
Works with Nest was created in 2014 as a way for other smart home device makers to take what Nest knows and personalize your experience with their products, such as turning off the device maker’s smart lights when Nest detects you’re away. The connected home has evolved significantly since then, and we’ve implemented numerous updates to enhance how you interact with and manage devices with Google Home.
In 2019, we made the decision to eventually retire Works with Nest to unify our efforts around third-party connected home devices under a single platform for developers to build features for a more helpful home – with a focus on compatibility, security, and privacy. The goal is to simplify the developer experience and give you more control over how your data is shared.
We’re reaching out to let you know that after extending support for Works with Nest for the last few years, it will wind down and no longer work as of September 29, 2023.
What this means for you.
-
Through September 28, 2023, all current Works with Nest connections will remain active, and you can continue to use Works with Nest as you do now.
-
In the coming months, you’ll be able to use a script editor to create advanced home automations that will offer new features and capabilities. We’re also working closely with our partners to provide replacement integrations where possible. Learn about the changes and options available to you.
-
Starting September 29, 2023, the connections will no longer work and you will lose access to them.
We’re committed to helping you and minimizing disruptions. If you need help, our support agents are standing by.
