Subscription not working

stevefuture1 — Sat, 16 Sep 2023 00:16:32 GMT

I’ve got a renewed subscription which is paid (I’ve checked with bank) however there is no history available from the cameras despite them recording info. When I check my account in the Google Home app it tells me that ‘Nest Aware plan has ended’.

All instructions provided don’t cover this subscription issue which is frustrating (there is no way to contact billing support directly).

Did your subscription somehow get renewed for a different Google Account or a different Google Nest "home/structure"?

The subscription is there, however It appears to be associated with a different’home’ in my account. I have one to handle our google nest wifi and one to manage our cameras, How can I fix this?

@stevefuture1

On this thread, a Google Nest Community Specialist posted instructions for transferring a subscription:

If that does not work, you could try the "Contact us" link in my earlier post.

I don't know why you would have two "homes", though.

Thanks - I got in touch. If you set up a new home within your existing account, and manage your cameras under this new home, you either need to take a new subscription or contact them and then delete the existing home in order to transfer your subscription- there is NO information about this or a warning when setting up a new home. Google won’t transfer your subscription without deleting the initial home. This is consistent with the opaque nature of all the Aware products and in my case (being overseas) is not possible to rectify, given I need to have physical access to undertake the set up steps. Theses products need a fundamental rethink imho, as they’re not fit for purpose, lack critical setup information, and google support cannot make simple adjustments even within a user account to rectify subscription changes.
