Lost home in google nest

Crezi85

Help please.  I have lost my home in both the NEST and Google Home app due to deleting the home manager in error.  Can someone help by advising how I can get it back or how I can go about setting the system back up ?

 

Thanks

What do you mean you deleted "the home manager"?  I've never heard of a "home manager".

If you deleted your Google Nest "home/structure", you will need to do a factory reset on all of your Google Nest devices and reinstall them, and you may have issues with some of them.

so I managed to create a new home and successfully added all of my devices back again..  however it is no longer linked to my subscription..  how do I link these ? 

@Crezi85 

Google Nest does not seem to have any way of transferring a Nest Aware subscription from one "home" to another. You may have to cancel your current subscription (and hope you get the appropriate credit) and buy a new subscription.

You could try the "Contact us" link under "Nest Aware Premier Care" on the page below to "Get 24/7 access to Nest Aware Experts on the Nest Customer Care team. They’re available to answer questions, help you access features, and manage your subscription."

Hey Crezi85, 

If you are the one who created the Home structure and you accidentally deleted it, we have no way to recover it anymore. However, if you're only a home member, you can ask the primary owner to invite you back so you can manage the Home and the devices in it again. Check out this website for more information.

Regards,

@Crezi85 

I'm just another Google Nest customer, but if you had a Nest Aware subscription on one Google Nest "home/structure", and you had to reinstall all of your devices on a different Google Nest "home/structure", I believe--as I said earlier--you'll have to cancel your subscription and buy a new one on your new Google Nest "home/structure", because Google Nest has no process for transferring subscriptions.

As I suggested above, you can also use the link above to contact "Nest Aware Premier Care" for assistance. They are not going to contact you; you have to initiate the contact.

Hi.  I have not managed to transfer the subscription so I ended up setting up a new one..  very frustrating as I have now paid twice.   The subscription service is not at all customer friendly.

Hello Crezi85, 

This certainly hasn't been easy for you. We'll take your words as feedback. Please go ahead and cancel your previous subscription in the Google Store so that you won't be charged for it again.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Cheers,
Lovely
