Here's How Google Nest Works With Apple Homekit

do i still have to subscribe to nest's paid service to get this to work?

Do you have to have a Nest Subscription to record to Apple Homekit secure video? I'd like to just use the camera for alerts on the nest hub, but only record to HSV.

If I add my wired doorbell 2022 to HKSV do I still need the nest aware subscription?

Did you ever made a video, showing the Airplay feature?
Nice video by the way😊

When viewing your Nest Camera in the Apple Home app, do you see a live view straight away or do you have a large Google 'G' logo in place? I have just set up Hoobs on a Pi4B for my Nest Indoor/Putdoor Battery Cameras, and have this experience, even when I have a Nest Aware account with 24/7 live recording. Im wondering if I should get a Starling Home Hub instead? Reading online they say it is due to the Google Device Access API.

I hope someone can help me as I'm running out of time, quickly. I have 4 Google nest wired cameras and the plan that's 12$ a month. What I need is to save footage/recording/clip that could be as long as an hour or 30 minutes. I did it once on my phone and for the life of me I cannot figure out how I did it. HELP....PLEASE! It's footage of my dog that died and I need it.

Do you think basic automation will be available directly through google anytime soon? (Eg turn on lights when my camera detects people)

Hi Brian,

Can you have an update on this with the wired 2022 nest doorbell please.

Looks like Starling is able to run it with HKSV

Thanks!!

Hey Brian, does this by any chance enable automation starters for the Nest Camera with Floodlight daylight sensor?

misleading video title as this is bridging to apple not native to google

Thank you, great video.

starling hub not recommended ...1st not apple authorised 2nd when live in europe they still send usa powerplug 3rd with cat 5 cable ....for this kind of money !!
bad buy ....the connection in home app works...thats all!

I got all excited until i realized Starling only works with HomeKit. :( I was hoping for SmartThings or something in the Android world.

I don’t have the option to add the secure video function from my Home app while using this method?

Starling is one of the best things I have in my SmartHome. It's pretty amazing in HK. The package notification announcing a package is at the door on my AirPlay2 speakers is something we use everyday, thanks to my wife's spending habits. lol

Is there an Android option?

Great video again! Can it work with ring cams

Great review as always.👍

Just had mine delivered to the UK. Whilst expensive, it’s just so simple to install and it ‘just works’.

Completely replaced my SmartThings and Hubitat setup.

Added the Starling and Aqara M2 and happy days. Even my old Xiaomi Sensors work perfectly which were hit and miss on ST.

Wish I’d moved to HomeKit sooner!

Tnk’x sooo mch for all informations you are the best ´´ Please the nfc’s work with smartthings or not ? Tnk uu 🙏🙏👍

I bought the starling home hub over a year ago and it’s been the best smart home product I’ve ever bought

Any chance you could try to set up a 2 week on/off schedule for a nest thermostat based around icalendar with this for us? The Nest learning ‘stat by itself only allows a one week programme which is insufficient. Thanks!

Thanks Brian.

I’ve largely ignoredNest Products because they didn’t work with HomeKit, but this is a great solution. I might have to look into the Nest Protect smoke detectors

You really need to add chapters

I’d pay for a device like that to bring my Wyze cams into HomeKit without having to hack the Wyze firmware, it’s my only home tech I don’t have in HomeKit

Looks like a great option

Thumbs down for the starling/homebridge when Matter is coming soon. Good video and tips otherwise.

I'm first in the dog world

Brian,
What a brilliant workaround! So nice to see you dragging Google into the world of automations. I can’t wait for the day that this would actually work without a third-party bridge. I need to experiment and see what I can do to make things work with all of my Google and nest devices. Thanks for discovering this work around and making another excellent video. You probably should update your song to dream by Rush!
