Nest migration to Google

Deweyk — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 18:20:54 GMT

I’m having issues with access to the app. I have followed the migration instructions and I’m sure it worked (end of last winter) then the nest app stopped and is asking me to migrate again but when I follow that it says my google account is already linked to another account.

Please help me so I can control the heating again.

The one problem I know the Migration tool has is that the "GSuite/GWorkplace" identities are not allowed to own any of the 'personal' devices. You have to have a "user@gmail.com" account as the owner in order to function.

That’s all to technical for me, I don’t understand. Thank you for trying.

Hey there,
I understand that these issues can be confusing but I definitely wanted to stop by and see how I could help.

Just wanted to double check to see if you were still needing help on this? If so, what troubleshooting steps have you tried?

Please let me know.

Best regards,

Hello

I haven’t done anything as I don’t know where to start. I came here to look at other comments but nothing I could see matched my issue.
I would appreciate some direction.
Thank you

Hey there,

Sorry to hear that you're still having issues on this but I'm happy to help.

What kind of email address are you using? Are you using an @gmail.com email address? I suggest using that domain or creating a new Gmail account as that is going to be the easiest solution for you.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Garrett DS

To "fix" in your case?

Get on a chat with support, and they can walk you out of the hole.

This is a "community" site, not a real support site.
