Google NEST Protect V2 Interface

Google recently automatically added my Nest Protects to Google Home. I assume it would be possible now to connect the Protects to my Homey Pro (early 2023) but I can’t choose the Protect in de official Google Nest app from Athom. Are there any plans to update this app or is there another way to connect my Protects to Homey? nest googlehome

[Tutorial]: Adding your Google Nest Protect to Homey

@Rogier_Verheugen, I did see this post earlier but I would assume that there must be an easier way to add the Protecs now that Google added them to Google Home.

Hi @Sjon_Yvonne,

I understand. I don’t know anything about writing software but @Herazio his tutorial is so good and straightforward it can’t go wrong.

When starting to implement my 3 nest protects I was in doubt if I would succeed. I did.

@Rogier_Verheugen, that’s good to know. I am going to wait a little while if maybe someone has an easier solution and then I can give this a try.
