Unable to log in to Nest app to set up new device

I just purchased a Nest Protect Smoke/CO detector.  I'm following the instructions to set it up and I have to download/install the Nest app on my phone.  Easy enough.  When I log in with my Google account I keep getting told unable to log in try again later.  This has been going on for about 5 days now.  This morning it allowed me to log in, attempt to add my house and once I verified my address it started back over as though I'd never added my house.  Now I can't log back in.  I have the Google Home app for a smart speaker but I've never had a Nest account to migrate.  If I try to add the detector using Google Home it prompts me to log into the Nest app to set up my house.  So it's a circle with no end.  Anyone have insight before I return this product?

Being told to login later sounds odd.

You could try contacting Support starting with this link:

As far as I can tell from other posts, Google Home does NOT support Nest Protect.

Hi everyone,

 

@cugrad99, thanks for reaching out here in the Community. Adding your Nest Protect to the Nest app shouldn't be a problem. I would recommend you reinstall your Nest app and if your account is not yet migrated, select the "Sign in with Nest" option on the login page. Just a reminder, the Nest Protect can only connect to the 2.4Ghz bandwidth of the internet. Let us know how it goes.

  

I appreciate your response, MplsCustomer, jrg167 and MikeClark.

 

Best,

Emerson
