Nest no longer supports Nest Secure. It will not be accessible in the Nest app and will no longer connect to the internet. You cannot use the Nest app to check the status of your Nest Secure, control your Nest Secure devices, or receive notifications from your alarm system.

The Spaces view is automatically enabled if you have at least one camera in the Nest app. If you don’t have any cameras added to the Nest app, you can manually turn on Spaces to see your Nest products organized room by room on the Nest app’s home screen. The product icons on the app home screen are “live,” meaning they show their current status such as your thermostat’s target temperature.
The Spaces view is especially useful if you have multiple Nest products in one or more rooms of your home.
At the top of the screen, you’ll see the home icon with your address and the mode your home is in below it. To manually switch to either Home or Away modes, just tap the icon.
Next, you’ll see rooms with cameras listed first in alphabetical order (bedroom, kitchen, living room, etc.). If you have more than one camera in a room, you’ll see the cameras grouped together in that location.
Rooms that don’t have cameras, but have Google Nest thermostats or Google Nest Protects, will be listed next in alphabetical order.
How to turn Spaces view on or off
If you only have a few Nest products, or you simply prefer to see them all organized individually instead of by room, you can easily turn off Spaces and go back to the “traditional” Nest app homepage layout. Or if you don’t have a camera and want to enable Spaces, here’s how to do it manually.

How to change Nest product locations with the app
If you didn’t give one or more of your Nest products a room name during setup, they’ll be grouped together at the top of Spaces in “Unassigned.” You might also have Nest products grouped together in a space, even though they’re actually in different rooms in your home. For instance, this can happen if you assigned them all the location "Bedroom" in the app even though they’re installed in different bedrooms.
Labels don’t affect which space Nest products appear in. So if you have Nest Protects in different bedrooms with labels, for instance Bedroom (John) and Bedroom (Mary), they’ll both be grouped in the Bedroom space.
If anything is out of place in the Spaces view, you can easily change your Nest product locations with the Nest app so they’ll appear grouped in the right space. For detailed instructions, please see the following article about changing the location name for your Nest product:
