Can't remove roommate access to Nest

Imnotasnail — Sat, 01 Apr 2023 15:57:53 GMT

My roommates are able to connect to my nest without them appearing as guests or under household in my Google home app. Under recognition and sharing, I have turned off "Let others control your cast media" and yet they are still able to connect and control the nest. Please someone help, I am losing my mind.

There isn't a setting or feature for this I'm afraid, this is working as intended. By default, anyone connected to the same Wi-Fi network as a Chromecast, Google Home or Google Nest speaker or display can cast content to it. To prevent this from occurring, you would need to have your own Wi-Fi network that only your devices are connected to.
