Migrating nest to google not working

danielnelson2 — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 23:40:37 GMT

When i click migrate to google in my nest app, it asks me to pick which google account and then give permission. I do that and the wheel starts spinning and then it says an unknown error has occurred. There is no error code or anything. I have tried multiple times

Same Issue.

I’m assuming you have Google One subscription?

If so, there is no fix I’ve found.

Google help isn’t helpful.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for reaching out.

We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing this with your devices. Kindly check these steps and see if it works.

Migrate your Nest Account to a Google Account

Important: If you started using the Nest app after August 19, 2019, you’re already using a Google Account and don’t need to migrate.

If you started using the Nest app before August 19, 2019, you created a Nest Account to manage your Nest products. You now have the option to migrate your Nest Account to a Google Account, creating one unified Google Account that you can use to manage products and homes in both the Nest and Google Home apps.

If you migrate, your Nest data will be associated with your Google Account. To understand how Google will use your Nest data if you migrate and how you can manage your Google settings, read our Privacy FAQ s.

Note: If you use a Gmail address to sign in to your Nest Account, you might still need to migrate.

Before you begin

If you migrate your Nest Account to a Google Account, your experience of your Nest home and products will change. Migration is optional, and once completed, is not reversible, so it’s important to understand the changes that migration will bring before you start.

Here are some key things that will happen when you migrate:

You’ll remove all Works with Nest connections.
You will no longer be able to use the Nest app on Apple TV or on Android TV.
Home members may lose access and need to be re-invited.
After migration, home membership is managed with the Google Home app.
Your data will be handled according to Google’s Privacy policy.
You’ll be subject to the Google Terms of Service and these Nest Terms of Service.

We recommend that you read all the information in the Important changes when you migrate and Privacy and Terms of Service sections to help decide if migration is right for you at this time.

How to migrate

You can only link one Google Account to one Nest Account.

On your mobile device, download the latest version of the Nest app from Google Play.
Check that you have an eligible Google Account.
1. If you don’t have one, you will need to create a new Google Account.
Open the Nest app and, if asked, sign in.
Tap Settings Account verify that you’re signed in with the account you want to migrate.
1. To migrate a different Nest Account, tap Sign out at the bottom of the screen sign in with the account you want to migrate.
Tap Migrate to a Google Account.
Follow the in-app instructions.

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

Princess
