Google Home device name change

Hi I’m a manager of my own Home account… obviously! I’ve recently moved a TV from one room to another. It’s listed under Local Devices which is odd. When I try to move it to another room in the house and change its name in Home it asks me to send a request to manage. But I’m the manager! I’ve hit the button anyway but no email turns up in gmail and there’s no pending invitations.

Anyone else had this problem? What did you do to fix it?

Cheers

If it's appearing under local devices, it was not set up with the email address you're signed into the Home app with. You'll need to factory reset it and set it up again with that account.
