Migrate Works with Nest to a Google Account & Re-Link to Alarm.com

In March 2020, Google began notifying remaining Works with Nest users to migrate to a Google Account. Use this guide to complete the migration and then re-link your Nest devices to Alarm.com for continued integration.

Note: Migration and Google account issues are handled by Google. After migrating, you can reconnect your Nest devices to Alarm.com.

Before You Begin

  • Install/update the latest Nest app on your phone.
  • Ensure you know the primary Google Account you want to use (ideally the one you already use for Google Home/Assistant).

Migrate Your Works with Nest Account to Google

If you received Google’s email, you can click Switch to Google in that email and start at step 5 below.

  1. Open the Nest app and sign in to your Nest account.
  2. Tap the settings icon (gear) and choose Migrate to a Google Account.
  3. Review the migration benefits/details and tap Continue with Google.
  4. Select the Google Account you want to use (or create/use another account).
  5. Tap Allow to grant Nest the requested access to your Google Account data.
  6. If prompted, disconnect old Works with Nest connections and consolidate homes into a unified Google Nest home.
  7. Review Google’s privacy documents and your Google Account settings, then tap Continue.
  8. Accept the Google Terms of Service and Nest Terms of Service, then tap Complete migration.
  9. If you’re accepting a home invitation, review access changes and tap I agree.
  10. Choose email preferences and tap NextDone.

What to Expect After Migration

  • Control of target temperature, thermostat mode, and fan mode through Alarm.com.
  • Thermostat schedules remain managed in the Nest platform.
  • Advanced Alarm.com rule-based automation for Nest devices is limited.
