Before you connect

Questions about Google Home / Nest.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can the Google Home MCP actually show me live video?

Yes, it can generate live stream URLs for your Nest cameras and doorbells. You can then use these URLs in any compatible player to see what is happening in real time.

How do I use the Google Home MCP to save on my energy bill?

You can ask your agent to switch your Nest thermostat to eco mode. This helps optimize your energy usage automatically when you are away or sleeping.

Can I manage multiple houses with the Google Home MCP?

Yes, the Connector can list all structures associated with your account. This makes it possible to monitor and adjust the climate for multiple properties from one chat.

Does the Google Home MCP work with my Nest Thermostat?

It is specifically designed to work with Google Nest hardware, including thermostats, cameras, and doorbells, via the official device management capabilities.

How do I give my AI agent permission to control my Nest devices?

You will need to link your Google Device Access credentials and grant the necessary permissions in your account settings to let the agent take action.

Can I use the Google Home MCP to check if my doorbell is active?

Yes, your agent can check the status of your doorbell and even generate a live stream so you can see who is at the door without opening another app.

What Google Nest devices are supported by this API?

The SDM API supports: Nest Thermostats (Nest Learning Thermostat, Nest Thermostat E, Nest Thermostat 2020), Nest Cameras (legacy, battery, wired, with spotlight), Nest Doorbells (legacy battery, wired, battery), and Nest Hub displays. Each device exposes specific traits (e.g., ThermostatMode, CameraLiveStream) that can be queried and controlled.

How do I get OAuth 2.0 credentials for the Google SDM API?

Visit the Google Device Access console and create a project. You'll receive a Project ID. Then, set up OAuth 2.0 credentials in Google Cloud Console, link them to your Device Access project, and complete the OAuth flow to obtain an access token. The token expires after 1 hour and must be refreshed.

Can I control multiple thermostats in different locations?

Yes! The API returns all devices across all structures and rooms in your project. Use list_devices to see all thermostats with their room assignments, then use each device's unique ID to control them individually. You can set different modes and temperatures for each thermostat.

How long do camera stream URLs last?

Camera stream URLs (both RTSP and WebRTC) are temporary and typically expire after 5 minutes. The stream token returned in the response should be used immediately and the stream should be stopped with stop_camera_stream when no longer needed to free up device resources.
