Hi there,

I need to connect my chromechast 1st gen to a new network but I cannot use Google Home app to set it up as it cannot be found via bluetooth. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Foontic you will need a secure WiFi network to set up your CC. It's not being found by Bluetooth because it can't be set up that way. If you go into the Home app, your devices should be visible. If you click the gear in the upper right and choose Device Info, you can choose to forget the WiFi network currently remembered and set up the new Wifi network.
