Can't see Nest devices into Google Home account

Hello,

I've recently bought a Google Nest Thermostat Learning v3. No problems for installation and configuration.
But it's my first device requiring Nest App, so I installed it and created a new account (logged with Google Account)

Now, I can control my device with Nest App, but I can't see the device into Google Home ! Nest App doesn't seem to import automaticly data from Home (I can't see my wife's account linked on Home in Nest Familly tab either).

I don't now how to fix this, since both Apps are using the same Google Account, but don't communicate.

Thank for any advice !

Numerous customers have reported the same thing in this forum

Many have reported success with this workaround:

In the Google Nest app, create a new, temporary Google Nest "home/structure".

Go to the Google Home app and delete that new, empty Google Nest "home/structure".

This action apparently forces the 2 apps to sync, and makes the thermostat appear in the Google Home app.
