Transfer devices to the Google Home app

You'll receive reminders that you can transfer a product from the Home app. Just tap the notification to start.

If you don't check the notification or you dismissed it, you can start the transfer in the device settings. When you transfer your device to the Home app, remember that:

• All your new camera history will now be stored and accessible in the Google Home app and on Google Home for web.
• Any camera history in the Nest app will be accessible until it expires.
• After you transfer your device, live video will only be available in the Google Home app and Google Home for web.
• Your camera settings, Activity zones, notifications settings, and schedules will be automatically transferred. You’ll need to set up Presence sensing again.

Transferring to the Home app requires a software update and may take up to 25 minutes. You'll receive a notification in the Google Home app when it's done.

Before you begin, check the following:

• You are the owner of the home in the Nest app.
• You have a Google account or have migrated your Nest account.
• You've installed the latest update for the Home app and your phone's OS.
