Hi there,
Thanks for getting back to us. I'd like to take a look at this for you.
Can you tell me what type of Nest Thermostat do you have?

3rd generation round nest thermostat. My ex was the owner and now left so need to change it. Tried to reset it but still shows the same

Hi there,
Thanks for getting back to us. You won't be able to remove the owner of the account on the Nest app since you were just invited as a family member to a home where the Nest Thermostat is added. However, what you can do is reset the thermostat back to default, and it will allow you to add it to your own Nest account by creating a new home where you should add it so that you can be the new owner of the Nest Thermostat.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,
Zoe

No still not solved so any help to remove owner from the thermostat. Tried reset and didn’t work

Hello Gemgem,
It’s me again. I know it’s been a while, and I’m sorry for the delayed response.
Can you go to your Nest Learning Thermostat Settings, then look for the option that says Nest app. From there, please check if it says none or connected.
Best,
Zoe

Can’t see where is says nest app Jist settings and option to restore
05-16-2023 08:38 AM
Hey Gemgem,
Chiming in — you can find the option for Nest App on your actual Nest Thermostat device. Just go to your thermostat Quick View menu and select the gear icon for Settings. After that, turn the ring until you see the word Nest App.
I appreciate your help, @RXShorty and Zoe.
Thanks,

It says this thermostat is connected to an account. But it’s my ex that has moved out. I’ve tried to reset it but it doesn’t remove them from being the owner

Do I need to delete the nest app and reinstall all?

Hey Gemgem,
Thanks for the update. Reinstalling the app isn't necessary, but it might help. Let us try to perform an Account Connection reset on the actual Nest Thermostat.
Please follow this guide:

I don’t have account connection.

Hi Gemgem,
For a clear vision of what you're seeing on your end, could you please take a photo of it and share it here? I would highly appreciate that.

Hi there,
Thanks for the photo. If that is the case, the only option would be a factory reset. To proceed, please highlight the All settings option and continue with the prompt. Please be advised that it will delete the schedules you created if there is.

I’ve done a reset and it still keeps the same acpcint
holder
05-16-2023 01:38 PM
Hi Gemgem,
Could you please tell us a rundown on what you did after the factory reset? Were you able to finish the setup for Language, Equipment, Network, and Nest app? Did you get on the page that says Finished Setup?
Thanks,
Jenelyn
05-16-2023 10:40 PM
Yes done all of that fine yet account holder still the same
05-16-2023 10:40 PM
The factory reset doesn’t remove them
05-17-2023 11:06 AM
Hello there,
It’s me again. Are you seeing the owner of the account on the Nest Learning Thermostat or on the Nest app?
Best,
Zoe

On the nest app
06-10-2023 10:27 AM
Hi there Gemgem,
Thanks for reaching out again, and I'm sorry for the late response. The reason you still see the owner of the Nest Learning Thermostat on the app is because the thermostat was previously added there. You have to create your own Nest account so you can add the Nest Learning Thermostat to it and be the new owner of it.
Let us know if you have any other questions. We're happy to help.
Best,
Zoe
