Hi there.
I tried to setup my Nest Protect today but it didn't appear as a device in my Nest App.
When I tried to Factory Reset the device and set it up, it showed the original setup Nest Protect first- which now is not linked to the device.
Not sure how to resolve? Any guidance will be helpful

Hey! When it comes to Nest Protect, it's often not recommended to use the factory reset option frequently. Personally, I recommend restarting your modem and phone to clear any cache that might be preventing proper configuration.
Restarting your modem and phone is often a good initial troubleshooting step. This can help clear temporary network glitches or software conflicts on your phone that might interfere with the setup process. It's similar to giving both devices a fresh start to communicate properly. Clearing the cache on your phone can also resolve issues where old data might be causing problems with the Nest app.
