Google told its customers that, as part of bringing its Home products under the Nest brand, it would be pressing customers to migrate their Nest account to a Google account, starting from the summer.

Having everything under a single account also made it supposedly easier for devices to work together, such as enabling a Nest Hub to show live video from the Nest Hello doorbell without any additional setup.

Google later cut access to new Works With Nest connections in August of 2019.

Alongside working with Amazon to migrate the Nest skill that works with Amazon Alexa, Google claimed it was also working with other partners on more custom integrations.

Logging in enables management and access to the various products, such as allowing homeowners to view live feeds from their Nest cameras from a television connected to the Apple TV.

Despite support continuing for Nest accounts, Apple TV users are not able to log in with their Google accounts to that version of the app.

There is also a recommendation to check support sites and social media channels for updates.

As Google has also disabled the ability to create a new Nest account, there is no official workaround for the problem.

Though it does point those same users in the direction of migrating over to a Google account, there is no sign of an equivalent set of instructions for those using the Google account, which by its absence indicates there is no support offered.

Negative reviews on the App Store complain of similar issues since migrating over.

One user wrote in November of how the migrating made our video cameras worthless because of their reliance on the Apple TV for viewing them.

Furthermore, their use of iPads that were four years old meant they couldnt update to newer iOS versions that later updates to the Nest app do not support, meaning they cannot be utilized for viewing the cameras either.

Given Googles CES announcements regarding third-party integrations with Google Home, it makes sense that a fix would arrive at roughly the same time.

More charitably, given the similar status for the Android TV version, it could simply be Google electing to put its resources into other products and services, leaving those it deems inessential to have minimal support and caretaker-style development.

Apple is just as guilty also You also forgot Amazon Theyre all trying to lock you into their Ecosystem.

I get it. Every company would like to lock you in.

Supports Apples Homekit, Amazon Alexa, Google, SmartThings, and IFTTT.

I think Amazon and Google have been more in your face in acquiring these hardware companys and locking them down to only their system.

Or its just the 2 of them, always seeming to leave Apple Homekit out.

While there is some debate about what kind of iPad it will be, heres everything we know about the rumored tablet.
