Manually Removing unwanted devices from Google Wifi via Home app

[BurninU]

How do I manually remove unwanted devices from the google wifi device list via the Home app?

I have the same issue, I hope they add more features to control your network, being the pro version and all.

Much and long requested feature:

• https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Wifi/Wifi-How-to-delete-previously-connected-devices/td-...
• https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Wifi/Unnamed-Offline-devices-on-Nest-WiFi/td-p/4834

It's not possible to remove devices manually. The only way you can trigger it, is a full factory reset of the Nest Wifi network and set it up from scratch.

This is a much requested feature that Google doesn't seem interested in implementing.

Stale devices should be automatically removed after 60 days though.

This will be my last Google product.

Hey BurninU,

As olavrb mentioned, there's no current option to manually edit the device history within the Home app. It is a feature that we see requested from time to time, and I can see how you might want to have control over that feature. You're welcome to leave feedback in the Home app for our internal teams explaining that you would like to see the ability to edit the history list. I'll pass that comment along to our teams as well.

Aside from creating that feature request for you, is there any other way in which I can help?

Thanks,
Jeff

The option is not there.  😒

Hey all, 

The process Dianahemes shared is to remove devices themselves from your Google Home account (such as a speaker you might no longer use). That series of steps will not remove a device from the device history list, as that list is managed entirely by Google Home itself and does not have manual editing. I hope that clears things up a little. 

Thanks,
Jeff
