Unable to add nest thermostat to Alexa or Google home

Hi

No matter what I try, I am unable to add my nest thermostat to either Google home or Alexa.

In Alexa the message is no devices found

In Google I get a login page, but with no option to use my Google account.

Please help.

  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.

Are you using the same account in the Nest app and Home app? Once setup in the Nest app, it should show up automatically in the Home app? Maybe check at the bottom underneath "local devices"?

To connect it to Alexa, follow these steps:

Control Nest products with Amazon Alexa - Google Nest Help
