1 gmail account, 2 homes, 2 hue bridges

[riversde]

I own two houses and they are set up as separate homes in the Google Home App. I have Philips Hue lights in both houses. Each house has a separate hue bridge with separate PH accounts (which is required by PH). The problem is, when trying to setup Hue in my 2nd home (+ > Set up device > Works with google) under Linked Services it already shows I have linked Philips Hue - this linkage is clearly from my 1st home. My only options are to Reconnect Account or Unlink Account. 

Ideally.. linked services should be specific to a home not to a gmail account, right?

found this post searching for the same exact issue, it seems I can't add another Philips Hue account to google home if I'm already logged into another one.

Any hints?

At this point it definitely seems like a system limitation. I have reported it as feedback within the google home app, I suggest you do the same. I think what I will ultimately end up doing is buying a separate non Philips Hue hub (Aeotec SmartThings or Hubitat) which is zigbee compatible and have one of the houses use it so I can link to google via a different service.

I would also suggest reporting this to Phillips as well so that we can both work on the partnership together.
