Unapproved account accessing Google Home

[Rachel11]

My husband is not linked to my Google Home. We just downloaded the app, requested create a new Google Home account, put in our address and a different home name, however he could immediately see all devices linked to my Google Home. 

When I went to check and remove him from my account, he is not linked.

When I use the "add profile" button it shows him as a suggested account as he is a family member on Family Link. 

Most concerning: Why/How can he see the Google Home though?

Secondary: How do we set up a seperate Google Home for his shed TV and Nest Mini so it doesn't get cut off every time our daughter plays music inside on her Nest Mini?

Hi @Rachel11 

The reason your devices show up in the Google Home app for your husband is because your husband's phone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your devices. If your husband is not a member of the home, you should notice they show up under "Local Devices" instead of the room in your home they're actually associated with. Any phone or tablet connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your devices can cast to and have limited control over those devices. As devices designed for the home, that is working as intended.

For your second question, the TV and Nest Mini will need to be factory reset and set up again in a different home structure. It's also key that a different account is used with the streaming service in each home structure, they cannot be the same, as most streaming services will only allow one account to play music on one device at a time.
