How to connect Alexa to your Google Nest thermostats, cameras, and doorbells.

This skill is only available to users with a Google Account. If you still use a legacy Nest account, migrate it to a Google Account by following the instructions at https://g.co/nest/accountfaq. After you’ve migrated to a Google Account, follow the steps below to enable the skill and configure your settings.

First, set up your Google Nest Cam, Nest Doorbell, or Nest Thermostat in the Google Home App. More information is available at g.co/nest/getstarted.

Then enable the Google Nest skill for Amazon Alexa and complete these steps:

1. Open the Google Home app.
2. Tap your account.
3. Verify that the Google Account shown is the one linked to your Google device. If correct, tap X to close the account window. To switch accounts, tap the dropdown icon, then tap another account or “Add another account”.
4. Tap “Settings”.
5. Tap “Services” and then “Amazon Alexa skill”.
6. Follow the instructions on the screen to enable the skill in the Alexa app.

If you are adding a new Google Nest device after you have already enabled the skill for a previous Google Nest device, make sure to allow the Amazon Alexa connection in the Partner Connections Manager for your new device in the Google Home app.

Voice Commands

To change the indoor temperature, say:
"Alexa, set the dining room to 68."
"Alexa, increase the master bedroom by 4 degrees."

To display a live view from a camera or a doorbell on an Alexa device with a display, say:
“Alexa, show the [camera name] feed.”

To stop displaying a live view, say:
“Alexa, hide the [camera name] feed.”

To talk to a visitor directly from Amazon Fire TV, Echo Show, or Amazon Fire Tablet via your doorbell, say:
“Alexa, answer the front door.”
Note: Voice commands to talk to others via doorbells are only supported on the Nest Doorbell (battery), and Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen).
