Google Nest Thermostat Integration
Google Nest Thermostats are Wi-Fi thermostats that connect with Alarm.com; they are not Z-Wave thermostats. Any questions about installing these thermostats, adding the thermostats onto a Google account, or features not available through Alarm.com on Nest Thermostats should be directed to Google.
Important: All thermostat schedules must be configured using the Nest platform. It is a basic integration that only allows control of the target temperature, thermostat mode, and fan mode. It does not support any Alarm.com rule-based automation, Alarm.com customer website-programmed thermostat or fan schedules, battery level reporting, or advanced configuration setting.
For more information about features available through Alarm.com, see Which Google Nest Thermostat features are available through Alarm.com?.
Connecting Alarm.com to a Google account
It is possible to connect an Alarm.com system to any Google account to be used with a Google Nest Thermostat.
Note: Works with Nest customers who have not yet migrated over to a Google Account must migrate to retain their Nest integration with Alarm.com. For information about this process, see Migrate a Works with Nest account to a Google account.
