Central topic for questions/discussing the Google Nest Wifi App. You can use this topic to ask questions and share your experiences with the Google Nest Wifi devices.
This app supports Google OnHub routers (by TP-Link and Asus), as well as Google Wifi, Nest Wifi, and Nest Wifi Pro.
The app should automatically detect the correct model of your Google Nest Wifi device and adjust the device icon and power usage accordingly. If it doesn’t, please generate and submit a diagnostic report.
Awesome! Which Google Nest Wifi products are you using? It took a bit of guesswork to figure out the right product names for automatic detection during pairing. Let me know if your devices are recognized automatically and have the right device icons.
The available data is quite limited and only provided over LAN. You can actually view it yourself by opening http://DEVICEIP/api/v1/status in your browser.
I have Google Nest WiFi, two routers and two satellite. The satellite works as AP and one of the router is also AP but connected with cabel to the main unit.
I can add all of them in the app but I only get status for the two routers, not the AP.
I’ve pushed two updates today (v0.1.3 to stable and v0.2.0 to test) that address a couple of issues and improvements.
v0.1.3
The second-gen Nest Wifi Router and Nest Wifi Point weren’t being recognized correctly due to a misinterpretation of their internal codenames. This has now been fixed, and both devices should be detected properly with the correct icons in Homey.
v0.2.0
I also revisited the implementation of the alarm_connectivity capability. Previously, this was based on the online status from the Nest Wifi API, but it turns out this reflects the WAN connection rather than the device itself.
To fix this, I’ve introduced a new capability: alarm_wan, which triggers when the WAN port is disconnected.
The alarm_connectivity capability has been updated and will now appear as “Device Offline” in the sensor overview. It will only trigger when the device can’t be reached on the network. If this state persists for 24 hours, the device will be marked as unavailable by Homey.
The app should automatically detect the correct model of your Google Nest Wifi device and adjust the device icon and power usage accordingly. If it doesn’t, please generate and submit a diagnostic report.
