Hi Guoni,

 

Thanks for reaching out here in the Google Nest Community.

 

Let's check a couple of things for us to further isolate the issue. Did you use the Google Home app when setting up your thermostat? Check that the Nest Thermostat is connected with the same Wi-Fi network. 

 

Regards,

Ryan

We were able to add the thermostat to a new google home account, but now we have to log into that account to access the thermostat and log out and re-login to access all our other google home products. is there a way to merge them?

Hey Guoni,

 

I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with the device not wanting to add to the app still. Do you mind me asking which model of Nest Thermostat you own? I did also find an article with some troubleshooting steps that could be of help. Please let me know if you are still having trouble from there, as I would be happy to review further.

 

Best regards,

Jake

Yes, I do still need help. The issue is unresolved, and the only messages I’ve been getting on this thread is “do you still need help” but unfortunately no suggestions or solution. I’ve added the nest thermostat to a new google home account but would like to merge it to my existing google home account. Please advise. Thanks

Hi Guoni,

 

Thanks for the response. I'm sorry to hear that you're still having an issue with your Nest Thermostat. I'd love to know more about this and I have a few questions:

 

  • What type of Nest Thermostat do you have?
  • Have you tried doing a factory reset on the Nest Thermostat and try to add it to your other Google Home account?

Thanks,

Edward

Thanks. The one we have is the Google Nest Thermostat - Smart Thermostat for Home - Programmable Wifi Thermostat - Snow.

 

Yes, I have tried the factory reset two times.

 

thanks,

Hi Guoni,

 

Thanks for the response. At what point of the setup are you getting the message? Were you able to scan the QR code at the back of the Nest Thermostat?
