I am unable to connect Nest thermostat gen 3 to google Home app. It is connected to Nest App. Tried connecting from Google Home App ->Set up a Device -> Works with Google->Nest-> at this stage I do not see connecting with Google account and I do not have Nest App logins.

Please advise how to connect thermostat to Google Home App.

Thanks

@Amish

The method you are trying to use is not correct.

When you install a Nest Learning Thermostat or Nest Thermostat E in the Google Nest app, it is supposed to appear in the Google Home app AUTOMATICALLY, as long as you're logging onto both apps with the same Google Account and are connecting to the same Google Nest "home/structure" and have assigned the thermostat to a "room" in the Google Nest app. However, if you search this forum, you'll find that has not been happening for many customers.

Many customers have done the following to fix the problem: In the Google Nest app, create a second, temporary Google Nest "home/structure". In the Google Home app, go to that empty Google Nest "home/structure" and delete it. It seems this forces the 2 apps to sync and the thermostat appears in the Google Home app.
