Google mini nest 2, keeps removing itself from home devices

cinereous — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 18:48:00 GMT

I have Google home setup with multiple devices connected. We share network with our neibours who also have a few devices as well.

I have setup our nest 2 speaker with a room and for our home's devices multiple times however after about an hour of being setup it removes itself from the room and won't allow access stating "please setup from the Google home app".

In the home app it displays "link account" under the device option. When clicked to reconfigure it fails and doesn't properly relink until the device is fully removed from the network and added again. (Then the cycle repeats).

Hey there,
Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to drop in here to help.

I understand that this 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?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Hi Garrett, thanks for reaching out. Yes, still experiencing issues.

For trouble shooting I've tried:

Resetting the nest 2 speaker.

Removing the nest speaker and adding again fresh.

Linking with a different account on the same home network.

And testing on both 2G and 5G wifi networks.

(Same results, or doesn't finish the configuration setup)

Hey there,

Thanks for letting me know what troubleshooting steps you've tried. I would suggest doing a factory reset on your speaker and uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that helps.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,

I have since tried a factory reset a few times.

The Google home app should be the problem as it's been tested adding by different devices as well. But I'll give it another try.

Yes, help is still needed.

Factory reset does not work, and re-installimg the Google home app doesn't work either

Hey there,

Sorry to hear that you're still having issues. Have you tried clearing the cache on the app?

I have been away for a few weeks so I haven't been able to try this.

However the speaker has been tested adding to the home network with 3 separate devices with the same issue occurring so I doubt it's an app cache issue. (Clearing app cache tonight)

I was not able to figure out how to clear the app cache, but I did reinstal the app on two separate devices. (Again I don't believe it's an app issue as I've tried adding it to the home network from 3 separate phones)

Whatever the issue is it seems related with one specific account as the nofication always says "Device Removed - X Room Speaker - ***@gmail.com has removed it from your home" this is always what appears but no prompts are given to the user of this email, and they are certainly not the one removing it.

Yes, the device has been factory reset around 6 times so far in testing.
