Hey there Daniel, you should be able to start routines anywhere. Right now there does seem to be an issue with some folks not able to start routines at all with their voice on phones/Google Assistant

[@God_is_my_savior-316]

Nope. Google is a very unethical company and is shafting all customers who use Nest cameras. April 2024 Google is discontinuing the nest app permanently. All dropcam and dropcam pros will be rendered worthless and unusable.

[@AutomateYourLife]

The dropcam thing isn't solved, but the Nest App is just moving to the Google Home app in most ways

In this video, you refer to using iHeart radio, how? I have been trying and boggling how, to no avail.... when i ask it to play iHeart radio, it pulls up the Google search and brings up the sites to download? Please advise!

[@AutomateYourLife]

Sometimes Google brings in and removes services. If it's not working for you now, it might not be available in your country or might not be available any longer. You could maybe check in the app to see if it's listed in the music services settings and if it is it should work. Otherwise........

How do you customise the ‘your morning’ or ‘your afternoon’ pages? The example display on the box of the nest hub doesn’t seem possible in reality.

You can't directly customize it. Do things in the morning and in the afternoon and they will naturally show up there

Why do my security cameras need to know where I am when they're not calling police or fire? Can't seem to get an answer to this question?

[@AutomateYourLife]

Well, that depends on the maker and what you're doing with those cameras. Some include a security system component that wants to know where you are for arming/disarming/alarm purposes. All depends.

This is a great resource for anyone wanting to get the most out of their Google Home setup. Google doesn't advertise how to setup a lot of the extra features outside of just the basic setup, leaving one searching for the way to do it. I wonder if this is be design so more people will "Google" how to use the Google/Nest Home features, thus bringing in ad revenue from the Google search engine.

Thank you Brendan! I'm gonna send it to the Googlers to see if they want to use it for some of their support pages. Let's see! ;)

[@carnagelan]

Thank you for this. I know this is an old video and you seem very smart. I am looking for smart home devices that dont require you to be connected to the manufactures servers for it to work. Only via my local lan/wifi. Are there any manufactures that make smart home devices like this? Wall plug/light sockets and so forth. I have the sonoff but it requires always online to work. If i loose my internet connection then it wont work. I am very bad at soldering so modifations will be messy for me

[@AutomateYourLife]

I think you should start to look at Hubitat as a smart home hub. Just about anything you connect to that hub will be locally controlled, so don't require internet. Some require WiFi, but that's usually more reliable than internet. :) SmartThings is another hub you can look at for local control, but they're just getting that part of their system setup and it still requires internet to work sometimes. No soldering needed for most stuff that goes into those hubs!

[@amdguru34]

I want to know the steps in setting up the nest hub to make voice calls! When I tell google to call my phone number, it says it needs help with personal assistance results. Then it tells me go to settings to make the changes. I've tried on both the Hub and my phone. I want the stupid nest hub to be able to call my phone. This is TWO DIFFERENT google accounts! My son's google account is what's on the Nest Hub. So I've tried going to Google HOME on my phone, then go to assistant settings and looking for the nest hub. I can't find either the hub or the google account I'm trying to connect with. I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me step by step how to do this. Not sure why I'm getting this message from google nest hub when I ask it to call my number?! Oh, I can initiate a duo call TO the nest hub from my phone, BUT a duo or meet call can NOT be initiated FROM the nest hub.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Personal results is part of the Google Assistant settings. You can go into settings in the app, and you can search for personal results and you'll find it. In order to make phone calls, certain permissions have to be granted. This video has a section on personal results and once you do that, you'll find the phone call setup goes fine. This video also has a setting on family and how to manage it for others too

[@amdguru34]

@@AutomateYourLife This would have to be done from the nest hub I'm guessing? However, I can't find "HOME" in the settings on the nest hub and so this must be done on my phone which doesn't make any sense either since it's two different accounts. I'm really pissed off with this and now have to set through a 3 hour video trying to find this. Not your fault, you made a great video, I'm just pissed off as I've now spent several hours trying to figure this out. The idea of three more hours doesn't appeal to me. Looking in the nest hub, I can not find anything that's close to what I'm seeing in the video. It's like a huge portion of the settings is missing in the nest hub. I will just throw it away and get him a tablet.

Tip for those people who don't live in the USA: not everything he says is possible in your countries. But there is a trick that makes this possible! Set your default language to US English and your 2nd language to your own language. Menu is now in English but it listens to your own language and also answers in your language. It is also not possible to choose a radio station in other countries, there is a trick for that too. Just create a Routine, which acts like a shortcut. Create new routine-starter (voice command) eg Radio 0 - choose what the routine should do - choose media play and control - choose radio - and enter the frequency in the transmitter eg 101.2 fm. And finished. Now you can start your favorite channel with a simple command.

Phenomenal video. Can't believe it's free! I'm hoping you can answer a question that will save me hours of pain learning to configuring homebridge to connect their thermostat to homekit. My parents have the nest thermostat (the pricier model) and want to be able to turn off the air conditioning when they leave the house. The thermostat is in their closet and they use nest temperature sensors in the rest of the house. The caveat is that they are iPhone users. If they install the Google home app on their iPhones can the nest hub use their phone's location to surmise their presence or absence to control the thermostat? Thank you in advance.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Yeah it'll work within the Google Home app if they allow location and Bluetooth as a permission. I think that's all the permissions they'd need. They have to turn on that feature in the Nest app if they still have a Nest account and I believe the Google Home app if they've moved over.

is there not anyway to watch or look thru your KZbin favorites on the nest hub? That's crazy! I just connected mine and I was trying to see about syncing all my favorites for you tube on the nest and no luck This is pretty limiting.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Sadly, the answer is no... :(

[@sicilianbambino]

@@AutomateYourLife wow that is crazy. This thing is pretty useless for my use. Do you know ever they ever intend to incorporate that kind of feature that should be already there?

Not when you come in, sorry Spidey. You could do this when you turn off your alarm as of today, or at a set time.

@@AutomateYourLife but why they don't put in this function because that thing and i think other nest products they KNOW if somebody is in the room or not... i need any thing that can do that for me. Just read a line (i wrote or i saved in) when i come through the door... or enter the room

Can you covert those time codes to KZbin chapters?

[@AutomateYourLife]

I tried. YT won't accept so many chapters at this time.

[@O1OO1O1]

@@AutomateYourLife haha, I did wonder how it'd handle so many. You're the first person I suggested this to who broke KZbin. Nice. That's an accomplishment. :D Until they fix that (give them 6 years), might I suggest having a pinned comment with all timestamps, then in the description (so there are some chapters), summarise the complete list into the sections you already have listed? E.g. Nest hub setting walkthrough Google Home App Etc.

What android phone do I need to set up my nest hub

[@AutomateYourLife]

Any phone with the Google home app working on it will do. The Google home app has some operating system restrictions but it's pretty much any phone you could have bought with iOS or Android in the last 7-8 years

[@Terry-pn1sp]

@@AutomateYourLife my phone can't download the google home app it is saying not compatible with phone

[@AutomateYourLife]

@@Terry-pn1sp it's the operating system is too old on your phone so you would need to do a system update

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do without the app so you will need a different phone or tablet

Google have learnt nothing, still no proper Web browser, no proper KZbin app, it's painful watching the company keep on making silly mistakes, crucial functionality is not there..... Basically a dumb tablet..

Hi! today I bought a 2nd generation nest hub I checked that motion sensor and quick gestures are on but no matter what sleep calibration and quick gestures don't work on it. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thank you! :)

[@AutomateYourLife]

No that's odd. I'd chat with Google support

[@philsummers8291]

I never got a set up code, and you video skipped over that, can you help?

[@AutomateYourLife]

A setup code...like the 4 character thing? That doesn't matter as long as it's working but if it never showed up, I'd do a full reset of the Nest Hub.
