Our verdict
A Wi-Fi 6E mesh with a built-in Thread border router, which is the reason it matters to Home Assistant users: a single, well-placed border router for Thread sensors and Matter devices. The router side is closed (Google Home app only, no HA entities for the network), and the system has wireless-only backhaul. Amazon UK titles the same hardware 'Google Wifi Pro'; the price here is for a single unit.
What can Home Assistant control on the Google Nest Wifi Pro?
Home Assistant has no integration for managing the router itself; the legacy google_wifi integration targets the original Google Wifi, and Pro support was not verified. Where it helps is Thread: HA's Thread integration can discover the Pro as a border router on your network, and Matter-over-Thread devices can join through it. Treat that as unverified for your specific firmware.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the Google Nest Wifi Pro work with Home Assistant locally?
- Partly. The Google Nest Wifi Pro connects to Home Assistant through a certified "Works with Home Assistant" integration (thread), which relies on the Google cloud. It works in Home Assistant, but commands go via the internet and stop working during an outage of your connection or the Google service.
- Which protocol does the Google Nest Wifi Pro use, and do I need a hub?
- The Google Nest Wifi Pro uses Wi-Fi and Thread and Matter. To pair it with Home Assistant you need no hub — it joins your Wi-Fi network directly; or a Thread border router (Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1, Apple TV 4K or a HomePod mini all work); or a Thread border router if it is Matter-over-Thread, or just your Wi-Fi network if it is Matter-over-Wi-Fi. Google's own hub is not required when you integrate through a certified "Works with Home Assistant" integration (thread).
