TL;DR

Google Home users are having trouble controlling their Nest Thermostats through voice commands.

Users are getting a message that says, “Sorry, I can’t reach the Nest Thermostat right now.”

There appears to be no issues with controlling the thermostat through the app.

One of the benefits of having a smart home is being able to control devices without having to lift a finger. For example, a Google Home user can simply use their voice to tell their thermostat what to do. However, that convenience all comes crashing down if there’s a connection issue. That appears to be what’s happening for some Nest Thermostat owners.

Over on Reddit , one user details a situation where their Google Home speakers refuse to connect to their Nest Rhermostat. When attempting to use voice commands to control the thermostat, the user is getting a message in return that says, “Sorry, I can’t reach the Nest Thermostat right now.” Adding to the confusion, it appears that there is no issue with controlling the thermostat via the Google Home app.
