Google Nest Wired

[Pug1210]

I have two Google Nests (Wired Indoor) and I moved across the country to a new apartment. I deleted my old "home" at my old apartment a few weeks ago as I was getting Wifi setup and just tried to create a new "home" to hook up my Nest. It claims it is connected to another account but there is no other home in Nest or in the Google Home app and I have no way of finding the original account and removing or transfering them because, technically, I already deleted it.

I am technically in a tough spot as I am hooking this up before I go on a business trip tomorrow and was hoping to have the ability to check in on my pet. Now I have two Home Nest devices that are not useful.

I'm guessing your two "Google Nests (Wired Indoor)" are probably cameras. When changing to a new Wi-Fi network, the general process is to first remove the Google Nest devices from the Google Nest app or Google Home app and then do a factory reset.

Since you apparently did not do that, your cameras still have your old account and Wi-Fi settings. (Google Nest does not check WHICH account they are connected to.)

If you do a factory reset, you may then be able to reinstall your cameras. Press the reset button for at least 12 seconds, until the status light stops blinking yellow and turns solid yellow and you hear a confirmation tone:
