| Amazon Alexa | Yes | Google's spec page for this model says it is compatible with Alexa. Google's Nest skill help page lists 'Nest Cam (indoor, wired)' without a generation (live view on Echo devices with a screen), so which features work on this model is not confirmed.[1] |
| SmartThings | Unconfirmed | No Google or Samsung page found. |
| Home Assistant | Unconfirmed | Home Assistant's Google Nest integration lists 'Nest Cam (indoor, wired)' without a generation and does not name the 3rd gen, so it is not confirmed. |
