Thursday
After not using my nest mini for a long time I plugged it in and the lights turned on and pulsed back and forth for a bit (nominally ‘connecting internet’ I believe) before the lights turned off. I tried connecting it in the Google home app but it could not be found. I believe it is a second generation as it does not have the small factory reset button, however the instructions for factory reset for the generation 2 don’t seem to be working
