Good to know

Google publishes only a diagonal field of view (152°), so we don't auto-place it.
Google Store showed both $199.99 and $149.99 on 2026-09-15; we list the catalogue price.

Will it cover your yard?

Google Nest doesn't publish the horizontal field of view or resolution we need, so the planner can't place this model automatically. We'd rather leave it out than guess.
