Nest (Google Home)

Thermostat and smart home

Thermostat alerts that make sense

Nest emails a monthly energy report and alerts like "unusual temperature." The assistant tells you the one thing worth doing. The assistant reads Nest and Google Home notification emails and doesn't control devices.

Stuck? Try this: Not seeing emails? Check your spam or Promotions folder and mark one as “Not spam” so the next ones land in your inbox.

How Grok Bot connects

Email: Grok Bot reads the notification emails Nest (Google Home) already sends you, in the inbox you connected. Nothing new is installed inside Nest (Google Home).
