Hello @N1987,

Thanks for reaching out. If you are unable to scan the QR code, you can tap Continue without scanning. Here's the step-by-step instructions on how to proceed.

Hope that helps! 🙂

Hello @N1987,

You can try resetting the device to factory defaults and see if that helps with the QR code. Here's a step-by-step guide. You can then use this guide to help you get started!

Hope that helps! 🙂

hi...still the same issue.

Hello @N1987,

If you are still unable to setup using QR code, there should be a Setup Code under the QR code. You can use that instead.

Hope that helps! 🙂

The Nest Hub does NOT have a 6-character Setup Code. The QR code is displayed on the Nest Hub's screen during the install; I don't think there's any other option besides scanning the QR code on the screen.

@N1987:

During the install process, did you select "New devices"? (You do NOT want to select "Works with Google").

Do you have the latest version of the Google Home app on your phone? You could try deleting and reinstalling the Google Home app.

If you can't get it to work, perhaps you should contact Support starting with the link below. Perhaps your new Nest Hub is encoded with an incorrect QR code, though I've never heard of that happening.

Hi N1987,

This is not the experience we want you to have, let me help you. A few questions: which Nest speakers are we working with? Is it a Nest Hub 1st Gen or Nest Hub 2nd Gen w/sleep sensing? Were there any recent changes made or is it for a first time setup?

It would help a lot if you could do a sequential reboot first: 

1. Unplug the power cord of your router, followed by your Nest speakers.
2. Plug them back in after 3 minutes.
3. Restarting your phone might also help.
4. Move your Nest speaker closet to your router.
5. Do the setup.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for helping, listairee and MplsCustomer,

Best,

Dan
