Can't add nest sensor to Nest App

[zhangregis]

I'm in a dead loop between Google Home, Nest thermostat, Nest App, and the best sensor.

I want to add my nest sensor to Nest. But I can't do it without a nest thermostat in the app. But when I add the nest thermostat, it forces me to add it in Google home. My Nest App is still thermostat-less and I still can't add the nest sensor.

So I'm forever stuck with 3 nest sensors that can't be used. Google, fix this please!!! Or someone has a solution to save me. Thanks in advance!

What model of thermostat do you have? Nest Temperature Sensor only works with Nest Learning Thermostat models and Nest Thermostat E (setup in the Nest app), it doesn't work with the Nest Thermostat (2020) that must be setup in the Home app.

Thanks Davidking. I found a Nest E and everything worked.
