Unwanted deletion of Google Nest

Albert-Belgium
Community Member

Hey Everyone,

I have at home 3 Google Nests.

One of those three is not stable due to unwanted deletion of the device.

In the Google Home app I can see in history that my account has deleted the device and this happens at very odd hours like middle of the night when I am sure I was sleeping at that moment.

* I changed the account - didn't work.

* I switched places with the device as I have multiple ones. - didn't work the error is always on the same Nest device.

 Now I have to reinstall the device every 2 or 3 days (not funny).

Any suggestions?

Hey Albert-Belgium,

 

That certainly hasn't been easy for you — let's figure this out.

 

Could you tell me what Google Nest device you're referring to? Also, are you using a public or private network?

 

Thanks,

Alex

Hey

Thanks for the follow-up. It's the Nest mini I have on every floor. And it's just one which give me trouble.

I am using a private network.

The Nest mini is now at less then 5 meters from the router so I don't think the network connection is the problem.

Seems so strange that in the history of the events in Google home it is mentionned that my own userid has deleted the device and this at hours where I am not active...

I happens I just did my usualy work.

1. Delte name of device in Google home because it is not active anymore.

2. Reset the device to factory settings

3. Re-install the device and it works nicely ...until my user wille delete it which would be less than 48 hours.

 

Kind regards

Hey Albert-Belgium,

 

Thanks for the information.

 

A few more questions:

 

  • How frequently does the device unlink (daily, weekly, etc.)?
  • Are you getting any message from your Nest Mini when it disconnects from your account?
  • What's the firmware version of your Google Nest Mini?
  • Could you please set up your device one more time. Once the set up is complete, please send a feedback report with the keyword GHT3 [Home Mini, Nest Mini, Nest Audio] automatically unlinking and note in their feedback report if they have attempted to perform a factory reset and how frequently their device unlinks.

Keep us posted!

Sorry seems as my last message hasn't been send.

 

- Frequenty of unlinking is between 24 and 72 hours. (The last one was 48 hours).

- I don't receive any message at all. Aftre the unlinking the Nest mini is in a state where he ask my to use the google home account to install the device.

- Firmware version of System is 279716. 

   Firmware version of Cast is 1.54.279716

- Could you clarify your question about the feedback report? Is that a manualy written report starting  with the necessay and the information about the frequency of unlinking even after a factory reset?

Thanks for the follow up. The problem still is there.
Meanwhile I have bought a nest hub to replace the mini and it works as a charme.
