How do I hook my Google Home up to a Nest thermostat?
The big thing Google's connected speaker does well, when you aren't using it for music, is communicate with other apps and services. Google Home hasn't been around long enough to develop a massive ecosystem of partners that all have separate voice commands for interaction, but the current list works really well.
