How Can I Reset My Google Nest?
Most of the time, your Google Nest device may encounter issues, like not responding to your requests; it will need your help to reset it. You can reset Google Nest if it is acting strangely or has become unresponsive. Resetting it will erase any data, and you may need to set it up again.
Common problems that
can be solved by resetting your Google Nest include a device that doesn't
respond, skipping music, static, and LED lights that won't turn off. There are
two different versions, and the instructions to reset Google Nest will
vary accordingly. Flip your Mini over to determine its generation; if it has a
slot for a wall-mounting screw, it is a Nest Mini 2, and if not, it is a Home
Mini.

center button on your Google Nest Mini. It is the location of the lights.

Detect to factory settings if:

but now you wish to re-add it to the same account.
- You wish to start from scratch and reinstall Detect
from the beginning.
- If you want to keep using the device, after you reset Google Nest, you may
continue to set it up the way you want. If you're giving your Nest away,
you may pause at the setup page.
Conclusion
When you follow the
reset steps, you will solve most problems with your Google Nest. It will work
again, but even if it isn't, Google provides fantastic customer service to
allow you to trade in for a replacement.
To reset Google Nest
permanently erases things, so you don't have to do it until you've tried
restarting it and other troubleshooting options. Instead of restoring the Nest
to factory settings, you can sometimes resolve a problem with it by rebooting
it. If the problem is new and hasn't happened before, restart your device
instead of resetting it.
