How do I restore my accidently deleted Nest devices? All I did was sign out of all my devices.

Earlier this evening I was doing a review of my Google Security settings, and saw a couple old phones and computers in the list, so for good measure I signed out of my devices that were using my Google Account for logging into various apps and started relogging in on my current devices, however I noticed a notification for a email that I had deleted my Nest devices.  I did not delete them I only signed out as part of good security practice on my network.  I logged into the Nest app using my Google account credentials, and I got a choice to select my Home's Nickname or to create a new home.  I selected the one that had always been setup and was asked to put my address in again have  which I did, but the next screen asked me to set up my Nest Subscription again, it said said I didn't have a current subscription.

This is super frustrating,  I have a Google Nest Hub Max in every room of the house, at least 4 Nest Cam Indoor, a full suite of Nest Protect products.  I am concerned that my historical cam footage may have been deleted, i try to back it up in Google Takeout but it never seems to work, the export always crashes (suggestion Google: Give us an option to select a specific camera in Google Takeout, it would be much smaller of a file).

This is too long already, so Google or a community member hopefully someone knows how restore the devices back into my Nest app, since I only signed out of my devices, there has to be a way to sign back in to restore the devices back to my account/app along with all the device settings?

I Just Pushed reset button on backside camera and started all over with installation of device. I think you have to do the same with all your deleted devices?! Take care, good luck! Love Paul

Hey folks,

 

Restarting and factory resetting your Google Nest camera or doorbell will have different results:

 

Restart: Keeps all your settings, and it should reconnect to the same Wi-Fi network. This is helpful if it ever becomes frozen, has trouble reconnecting to the internet, or isn't working normally.

 

Factory reset: Erases all your settings and options, and restores its factory default settings. It will not automatically reconnect to Wi-Fi and you'll need to set it up again.

 

You can find this information, plus additional information on this process here. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Best Regards,

Brad.
