Unable to add additional protects

[tcingle]

Bumped into this issue trying to add a protect to my existing 4. In the end I had to first Create a new home just for the protects. I then stood up a new 2.4 Ghz SSID just for them. You then remove the protects from your current nest home, do a factory reset on the proects and then add them to the new home via the new SSID (make sure your phone is on the new SSID when adding). I was able to add 10 protects this way with minimal issues. It's stupid and took forever to figure out but it works.
