Multiple Homes vs. Devices

[pmazzola57]

I added a 2nd home to the Home app using the same Google account. In the new home, most of the devices and Groups from my 1st home were duplicated into the 2nd home. 

How can I remove them from the 2nd home, while still keep them in the 1st home?

How did the devices and "rooms" in your 1st "home" get duplicated in your 2nd "home"? When you create a new "home", it does not have any devices or "rooms" until you add devices to that "home" and put them in "rooms", and I think you'd get an error if you tried to add a device that was already in another "home", although some devices can be moved to a different "home".

We have only one Google Nest "home", so I don't know how customers view their devices when they have multiple "homes". I thought they had to select which "home" they wanted to view, and saw just the devices in the selected "home".

Well, I set up the 2nd home while still in my 1st home so I guess it picked up all the devices on that same WIFI SSID.

When I actually went to the 2nd home and signed in to the WIFI there, it was a clean slate and allowed me to just add the devices at that home.

All good now.
