Set up smart devices in the Google Home app or Nest app, including speakers, displays, thermostats, sensors, lights, and plugs.
The setup process varies by device and app, so it's important to follow the correct instructions. Your device will include instructions on how to connect it to your Google Home.
Verify whether your device needs to be added to Google Home before, during, or after installation, particularly for complex devices that might need professional or detailed setup. Some devices may also require you to add the device to the manufacturer’s app before adding it to Google Home.
Tip: For a smooth setup without interruptions, it is recommended to keep your device within 15 to 20 feet of your Wi-Fi router.
