[ruudvz]

1st Gen Nest Thermostat has no setup id in the Nest App menu, only lists that it is connected with an account
In order to add it to Google Home for domotica I need the 6 setup digits (they are not on the back of the device, there is also no QR code, how to get these digits???

TIA Ruud

If it says its already connected with an account, you'll first need to factory reset the thermostat.

This means you have a thermostat model that is setup in the Google Nest app, not Google Home app. Only the newest thermostat has the QR code physically printed on the back of the display.

1. If you haven’t already, download the Nest app on a phone or tablet.
2. On the Nest app home screen, tap the Settings cog.
3. Tap Add product. The app will switch to a camera view to scan the thermostat’s QR code.
4. On the thermostat, press it to open the quick view menu and tap the Settings cog.
5. Turn the ring to select Nest app and press to open it.
6. Select QR code. Your thermostat will show you a unique QR code to scan with the app. If it doesn't, tap Continue without scanning in the app and select Get entry key on your thermostat instead.
7. Follow the remaining steps in the Nest app.
