Works with Nest (WWN) was the original way that third party developers could access and control Nest devices. They were fully integrated with a Nest product and could check and change its status. Works with Nest connections will continue to work for those users who have a non-migrated Nest Account in the Nest app for as long as our partners support them, these integrations will remain on maintenance mode.

Works with Google Assistant (WWGA) enables the Google Assistant to control all your connected products. You can use the Google Assistant to develop Assistant Routines for use in the Home or Assistant apps. In addition, we've launched a new developer program, Device Access, which enables access, control, and management of Nest devices within partner apps, solutions, and smart home ecosystems, using the Smart Device Management (SDM) API. To learn about this new program and how to get started, visit the Device Access site.
