I have owned my Hub max from new. Today (owing to the camera being offline) I disconnected the device from my account and completed a factory rest.
Now when I try to reconnect it I constantly get the error message "Google Nest Hub Max connected to another account".
When I check my Home app, the device is not listed, however, (as I discovered while trying another trouble shoot) when I am in the Home app and I click on my avatar and go to "assistant settings" then "devices" it is still listed. When I click on it, I am just taken back to the Home home screen.
I have tried the following to date:
- Restarted all devices
- Uninstalled home apps
- Factory reset hub max
- restarted wifi
I have tried some of the other solutions on the boards as best I can but some of them are not bringing up the same options (possibly out of date).
Has anyone managed to crack this?

Hi bananamedic,
Thanks for posting — let's get this sorted out.
If you have a home member, your Google Nest Hub may have been linked to them after you reset the device. You can remove it from their account before resetting. Here's how: open the Google Home app > Tap on the device icon > Settings > Remove device > Remove. You can also check under your Google Account's Your devices and unlink it there.
Keep me posted.
Best,
Lovely
