Nest Point Activation

caseytripp — Sat, 17 Sep 2022 12:39:56 GMT

Bought a three pack with router and two points. Router connected quickly and easily. Attempted both Points but each said it had to be activated. The help link went to an article about televisions. Exhausted searches about this problem to no avail. I am using a Google Pixel 6 if that helps diagnose the issue.

Short answer: Try to set them up with a different device, like an iPhone or iPad.

Must it be an Apple product? Can I set it up with a different Android phone that's not a Google phone? Super frustrating to have all this Google versus Google problems.

I agree.

A non Google Android phone should work too.

Yes. Using a non Pixel phone worked. It is shameful that Google's own phone won't work with Google products.
