This article will explain all of your options for using Google Home on a Windows PC. While the app is designed to work only with a mobile device, other options include an Android emulator, the Chrome browser, and the Google Home website.

An Android emulator for Windows is a way to run Android apps like Google Home on a PC. BlueStacks (pictured below) is one option. It shows the full app, including all your devices, routine automations, activity logs, and settings.

During our testing, we were able to receive motion alerts for a camera, but we weren't able to control lights or add a new device.

Google Chrome mimics some of the functionality of the Google Home app, but it is limited. For example, you can’t use it to set up Google Home devices. However, you can use Chrome to cast to your Google Home devices, such as a speaker or Chromecast.
