Summoning the personal AI on your phone and other devices works just the same way. You can command it to do any of the above work for Google smart speakers, display, or other smart devices.
How to connect your Nest products to Google Assistant
To get started, you will have to download the Google Home app on your Smartphone. And for iPhones, you will need to download the Google Assistant apps. You can have access to it through the home app, but the assistant app will gain you access to more features. But if you are an Android user, it is already built in.
After that link the Nest products to the Home app by following the guidelines on the app. Once you have done that, you can now make use of your voice commands to control it. if you find difficulties in setting it up, you might need to migrate your Nest account to a Google account.
