i have 2 nest outdoor cams and a nest doorbell. all three devices were migrated from the nest app into the google home app. my home and my wifi were both "deleted." so I am going through the process of setting everything up from scratch. and i cannot get the google home app nor the nest app to connect to any of these three devices.
when i try scanning the qr code from the home app, it identifies all three devices and then says can't find it.
when i try scannign the qr code from the nest app, same thing.
when i try searching, no devices found.
i have tried factory resetting using the pinhole on the doorbell and nothing. i suspect the doorbell internal battery is toast and that will need to be replaced, but the cameras are still in good condition so those i would like to salvage if at all possible.
any help would be greatly appreciated

I would suggest contacting Support.
I don't know how transferring two 1st gen outdoor cameras and one 1st gen doorbell from the Google Nest app to the Google Home app could cause your Google Nest "home/structure" to be deleted, and I'm not sure what you mean by "deleting" your Wi-Fi.
