Gen 1 nest aware plus subscription

Buck44 — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 02:30:22 GMT

I recent paid the $120 subscription fee for my nest gen 1 cameras . However when I open the app , there are cameras listed that do not have a subscription associated with them. How can I fix this, or who can I contact. Google makes it soo hard……. I think I like it better when it was just nest. Please help!!

@Buck44

Are all of your cameras in the same "structure" in the Google Nest app (or the same "home" in the Google Home app)? A Nest Aware or Nest Aware Plus subscription applies to only one "home/structure".

Here is Google Support responding on this in one thread:

Thanks for the help! However yes, all my cameras are indeed in the same “home/structure “

@Buck44

If all of your cameras are in the same home/structure, then if you go to Settings | Nest Aware for each camera in the Google Nest app, it should say "Active: Nest Aware Plus". The same should be true for your "home" if you go to Settings | Nest Aware from the initial screen in the Google Nest app. (If you have the newer cameras that work only in the Google Home app, if you go to Settings | Video for any camera, under "Video history" you should see a description of the subscription level. (We have both, and that's how it shows up with our Nest Aware Plus subscription.)

If that's not the case, then I don't know. If you just got the subscription, maybe there's some lag going on with the Google Nest servers.

Google Nest has only one documented way for contacting Support:

Yes , still shows up as no subscription. Think it would be of any benefit to remove the cameras with no subscription and then try to re-add them?

Your screen shot shows that you still have a 1st Gen Nest Aware subscription, where you pay separately for each camera. It used to be $10/month for the first camera and $5/month for each additional camera. I don't know what it is now. But you have to pay additional for each additional camera. The new (2nd gen?) Nest Aware subscriptions cover all cameras in the same "home", for $60/year for Nest Aware and $120/year for Nest Aware Plus. To use these plans you also have to migrate your Nest account to Google. I don't know how Google handles pricing if you're switching from an existing 1st Gen Nest Aware to 2nd Gen Nest Aware.

This page has info on subscriptions:

I'm just another customer, and so don't know every detail on this, and we switched to the new subscription a couple of years ago.
