Recognizing new phone

Mindworkx
Community Member

Hello. I changed phones a week ago and connected my new S21+ to the home app and works great. But, when I ask the hub to find my phone, it says my OLD S9+ should be ringing... How do I make Nest recognize my new phone as the primary one S21+, and also delete the old connection to the S9+?

Hi Mindworkx,

Please remove your old phone from your Google devices...

https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity 

And also make sure that you have the 'visability' setting checked as 'show in menus' for your new phone and unchecked your old phone on the Play store settings page...

https://play.google.com/settings 

Hopefully that should now work.

 

Regards,
Cathal
