Google Smart Home App Now Supports Legacy Devices

Google has announced that it is expanding support for older Nest Cams in the Google Home app, starting with the first generation Nest Cam Indoor, released in 2015. While support is already available in the public beta of the app, users are asked to be patient as the transition may take a few weeks.

The move is part of the company’s plan to integrate legacy Nest cameras into the updated Home app unveiled at Google I/O in May.

According to Google, Nest Cam Indoor users will be notified by email as soon as access becomes available to everyone. If users are not happy with the Home app, they can switch back to the Nest app.

The company stressed that the Nest app will remain functional for the time being.
