Adding telephone number to Presence Sensing

DragRacerX
Community Member

I have the Nest Thermostat in a Home Location with 4 separate Family Member phone numbers. 3 of the phone numbers are iPhones, the other is an Android. When my Nest Thermostat was setup originally, ONLY my iPhone number was entered & it is the ONLY number that shows up on the Presence Sensing Phones screen in my Google Home app. My question is: HOW DO I ADD THE OTHER 3 PHONE NUMBERS? I have searched quite a bit for the answer, but have not found the answer. I expected that there would be an Add Phone option on the above screen. I have found  how to add a Gmail address, but not a telephone number. Phone numbers are required for determining if anybody is home or everybody is away.

Hi DragRacerX,

 

Thanks for reaching out and we're sorry for the delay.

 

To be able to use multiple devices for the Home Away Assists/Routines, you'll need to add the other email address as a member of the family. Check out this link to know more on how to add members.

 

To organize and manage your devices in the Google Home app, you can create a home. Then, you can invite home members who will share control of the home and its devices. Complete steps here.

 

I hope it helps.

 

Regards,

Ryan
