The latest update to the Google Home app introduces a feature that allows users to transfer multiple Nest devices simultaneously from the old Nest app. This enhancement simplifies the process, which previously required a one-at-a-time transfer method, making it more efficient for users with several devices.
This functionality, currently in Public Preview, supports all Nest devices released since 2015, including the Nest Thermostat, Nest Cam, Nest x Yale Lock, and Nest Protect smoke alarms. Users will be able to migrate all their devices with a single tap, marking a significant improvement in the app's usability.
While this update follows Google’s efforts to enhance compatibility for older Nest products, some users have reported issues, such as first-generation Nest Cams disconnecting from the app. The rollout of this feature is expected to expand in the coming weeks.
