Deleted Home Account accidentally

Jimwaltman

I deleted a Home account that had a Nest Doorbell attached to it. I’m now trying to add that doorbell to another Home account that has other Nest Cameras and two Nest thermostats. I’m being told I cannot add that doorbell because it is attached to another account (that I now cannot access). How can I remove the doorbell from the account that I deleted? Thanks

Hi there, 

 

I apologize for my late response and thank you for all of your patience while waiting for a reply. I definitely understand how frustrating your situation must be, and I wanted to make sure that your concern was acknowledged. Do you still need help with this issue?

I do. My Nest Doorbell cannot  be added to my existing Home account until it has been deleted from a prior Home account that I have deleted and do not have access to. Please advise.

Unfortunately, as long as that device is connected to your old account you cannot add it to the current one. You can try to Factory Reset it, but I am not quite sure that will do the trick. You would want to connect to the old account, remove it and then add it to the new one.

 

Best regards,

Brad.
