When Will Google Home Have a Web Browser Option to View Nest Cams? (Update, it's there now)

When Will Google Home Have a Web Browser Option to View Nest Cams?: My old thread was closed, and since I was told 'If you're still experiencing problems, feel free to start a new thread and we'll be happy to help', I am opening a new thread.  My issue is still not resolved. I bought a Nest Cam with Floodlight expecting it to work in the Nest camera web browser int...

A year later and NestCamLover still has no joy or response from Google.

This is completely unacceptable. As a software developer I know for a fact that the reason Google is giving is BULLSHIT. "because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays." I don't think so Brad.

More likely the answer is: 'We bought Nest and do not want to support the legacy API in our new API so we'll just string you on for a while in hopes that you get frustrated and just go out and buy new cameras that only work in the mobile app that allows us to collect more usage information without pesky users know what we're actually up to'

Well Uncle Krops; having forgotten the words of Uncle Gilmore, you leave me no choice. I now must hack your nest APIs and publish an open source library that allows anyone to view all their cameras and cam history in a web browser on or any device they choose.

I just looked. The old nest.google.com site is all marketing now. However, home.google.com now shows all my nest cameras in the browser. Wuu-#_(king-Huu! If only they'd let me know this change had happened when it did.
