Hello

I just bought Google Hub Nest Gen2, and inlcuded Homey in Google Home. I downloaded app in Homey and activated sync. Now I would like to send voice from Homey to Google Nest Hub, but I cant add device Google Nest Hub. Google App in Homey support devices like Hub Max, Cam Doorbell and Thermostat. Is it possible that Homey does not support Google Nest Hub Gen.2?

It strange since everything work other way, transfer data to/from Homey to Google Home, but cannot make a flow to send a voice from Homey to Google Hub, beacause device not supported by homey

I think you need this app.

My Homey won’t add Google Nest Hub as device, does homey devicelist need an update?  
I have installed my Google Nest app, but Homey can’t find any devices when I logged into Google account.

The same here. Strange thing, that Google says “no devices to connect to Homey” (and I am logged in on my Google Nest Hub).

This still seems to be an issue, at least here in Australia. Did anyone find a solution?

You need this app (and Yes, sounds strange)

Not only Chromecast but also nest mini’s, hub (only apparently not max), nest audio

Hi. I also find this strange, and it is still like this…

Nest hub, nest audio, and nest mini should be on this list. Should be a way to use this as a Sonos smart speaker system. That’s the whole point of a smart speaker is it not?

Anyone have a work around or suggestion? Is this posible cith the Chromecast app?  
(I’m not able to try as I’m away at work and all my Nest items are turned off)

Might just be me - but still not possible to add the Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) through the Chromecast app. Any suggestions to a solution? Really annoying not having the possibility to cast sounds and the like from a Homey flow to the speaker.  
In case there is no solution for getting the hub in Homey again - what speaker should I be looking in to getting?

Thx in advance.

I made a “request-a-brand.homey.app” for this.

I hope this will make this happen 🤞 If you guys support the request maybe it will be a priority 🤷‍♂️

I had the same issue with my Google Nest Mini. Google Chromecast app just couldn’t find any new device to be added.

**This worked for me:**

1. restart Homey
2. restart Google Nest Hub 2/Audio/Mini (via Google Home app or unplug the power for a moment)
3. add new device with Google Chromecast app

**If it still can’t find your devices:**

1. uninstall Google Chromecast app from Homey
2. restart Homey
3. restart all network devices (modem/router, access points)
4. install Google Chromecast app
5. add new device with Google Chromecast app

It should find all your Google Nest devices at this point, unless they failed to connect to your network - you should check your router and clients connected in that case.
