Google Home is only showing two homes in my current pull down list. When I try to add another, it says:
Too many homes
Remove a home to add another one.
You're a member of the maximum number of allowed homes.
The help seems to indicate I should be able to belong to 5.
Any suggestions?

Odd. You could try deleting and reinstalling your Google Home app, just in case it's a temporary anomaly that a reinstall would fix.

Thank you for the suggestion. When i reinstalled it, it clearly listed the 5 I was currently part of.
I feel quite stupid, but the reason I didn’t see them before is the Ui switches from a pull down (first action to change homes) to a horizontal scroll for the one you want to select. I didn’t realize it was a horizontal scroll, so I didn’t see the other names. Interesting UI display, I didn’t notice any indicator to show there was more off screen, and therefore I should scroll.
Anyway, your suggestion pointed me in the right direction (no pun intended).
thank you

Glad you got it figured out.
The Google Home app's user interface isn't always very intuitive; so it's easy to miss what should be obvious.

Can the 5 home limit be removed? Can I have 10 homes instead?

Hi wraynor,
Apologies, but one Google Home account can only have five homes, and it can’t be changed. We'll take this as a feature request, and we will appreciate it if you can send feedback about this and any features that you’re looking forward to using with Google Home.
Warmly,
Alex
