TL;DR
- Workspace accounts finally work with Google Home.
- You can now share smart home control with both Workspace and @gmail.com users.
- Newer devices like Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) and Nest Doorbell (3rd gen) now work directly with Workspace accounts.
After years of frustrating lockouts, Google is finally adding real Workspace support to the Google Home app. Still, the company is asking users not to use their work accounts.
Workspace users can now do what personal Gmail users have always been able to do: set up new Nest devices, invite family members to manage the home, and move old Nest accounts (from 2019 or earlier) to their Workspace identity, according to a Google Nest Community post. So if you’ve been using a custom domain for your smart home, you can now collaborate without restrictions.
