I’ve recently encountered a frustrating issue with my Nest Hub Max camera, and I’m reaching out to the community for guidance and support. Despite my best efforts, the camera setup process consistently fails at the QR code scanning stage. The Google Home app freezes at a progress circle, never advancing to the QR scanner, resulting in a timeout. This issue persists across multiple attempts, including factory resets, network changes, and app reinstalls. The camera itself works fine on my original Google Home and Nest devices, which adds to the confusion.
I’ve noticed that several other users have reported similar problems, often in closed threads where further discussion is impossible. It’s concerning that this issue remains unresolved, especially if it’s a result of recent software or firmware updates. I’m hopeful that by sharing my experience, I can connect with others who might have found a workaround or solution.
If anyone has successfully resolved this issue or has insights into potential fixes, I’d greatly appreciate your input. Let’s work together to troubleshoot and find a resolution!
