How to Factory Reset Your Second-Gen Nest Hub From Google

Need a fresh start? Performing a factory reset on the second-generation #NestHub returns the device to its original settings.

To perform a factory reset:
📱 Remove your Nest Hub from the Google Home app. Open the Google Home App, tap your Nest Hub, then Settings, and then Remove device.
🔈 Press and hold both volume buttons on the back of your display for about ten seconds.
🔇 If you change your mind, release the volume buttons before the restart begins.
✅ When “Resetting” appears on screen, the factory reset has begun and your device will be ready to set up again when the reset is complete.

The Google home app needs an update where I can just go into the app settings and change the Wi-Fi so everything can automatically change in one easy step!
