Nest Hello doorbell	Works	Works fine with Homebridge; native Nest app also good Saved copy Nest Hello + Homebridge works fine for me. I purchased a Google Home mini as a speaker so that I can get announcements in whatever room I want. Homebridge does not seem necessary because the Nest app works pretty well already but it's cool to have the option to view your front door from Apple Homekit if you want. If the Sonos speaker has Google assistant then I've read that you can get the Hello to play announcements on it. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2020-10

Nest smoke detectors	Works	Used via Homebridge since Home Assistant lacks support Saved copy … homebridge and some in Home Assistant. Both are needed in my case. 1. SwitchBot - homebridge plugin supports their API whereas HA only supports BLE 2. Nest smoke detectors - no support in HA 3. Dummy Switches - useful for complex automations in homekit In HA, i have my Kwikset Halo locks, Jandy iAqualink pool controller, Big Ass Fans (HA has better support than homebridge). In my opinion, homebridge has one job and that is connecting non-homekit devices to homekit. HA is a much more powerful platform but i only use it as a homekit bridge.

It's a little bit of work to setup with a Google account, but once setup works just fine. I have the Nest and three room sensors, and all work within HomeKit without issue.

So the Nest plugin does work, as someone else stated it was updated to work with Google and Nest account. Last I heard Starling Home Hub is essentially running homebridge at it's core with the same nest plugin but has been customized to allow easier user setup. The Starling Hub and the nest plugin are both done by the same developer.

Nest thermostat	Works	Google refresh token fix ends monthly cookie expiry Saved copy Finally, finally, FINALLY! Thank you Adrian Cable for implementing this! For anyone who gave up on this plugin because your google cookie token expires every month or so - this is the fix. All you have to do is: Run the node script included in the plugin package called login.js. You can find it with: `# sudo find / -name login.js` It will be in the plugin directory - mine was in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-nest - so I ran: `# node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-nest/login.js` Copy the resulting url into your browser address bar and sign into Google.

Nest thermostat	Works	Refresh token login works; all thermostat functions available in Home Saved copy I have a Nest Learning thermo managed by the Homebridge Nest plugin using the “refresh token method for a Google Account”.

Nest x Yale lock	Works	Yale added via Homebridge Nest plugin, not Google Nest SDM; Starling Hub also suggested Saved copy So I need to correct myself. I used the Homebridge Google Nest SDM for thermostat and cameras, but it doesn't support the Yales. So I must have used something else to get the Yale's added. Most likely the Homebridge Nest plugin. I switched from HB to HA over a year ago and actually just switched back to HB last weekend but with a fresh install. That is when I decided to just buy the Starling. Anyway, good luck!

Even when someone presses my doorbell the notification from the home app takes a good 30-50seconds to notify me. Other times things just say no response. Internet is gigabit plan.

I previously had the normal nest thermostat and recently moved to a new home where I am very determined to keep homekit connectivity for all my devices.

Nest thermostat	Partly works	Works but plugin uses Google login after Nest integration was killed Saved copy Short, honest answer is that you can’t. The previous version of the nest homebridge plug-in relied on an easily-revocable, homebridge-specific API key, not your actual Google username and password. Then Google decided to absorb nest into their Google Home platform and killed this integration, only grandfathering people such as myself due to a big outcry. The new version of the nest plug in requires your actual google credetials for this purpose. Which means I’ll be moving to ecobee once Google kills the grandfathering they’ve had for existing nest users.

About 1 year ago when I bought my house and went fully invested into the Nest ecosystem ($2,803 in products before tax) the Works with Nest program was alive and well with no sign of it going away. Because of this I was able to integrate with HomeKit (my primary products are all Apple) using Homebridge.

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
