Google Assistant devices have a specific level of access to your account, and if you offer them off or stop utilizing them, withdrawing access to your account isn’t a bad concept. However, if you revoke access to your Google account, some Assistant devices can end up wrecking your clever home setup, consisting of Nest.
Previously this month, some TiVo Stream 4K owners noticed a security alert that cautioned that the device had incorrect access to your Google account. Luckily, this simply ended up being a bug, and it’s one for which Google has already presented a repair.
Nevertheless, alongside that concern, another weird issue popped up. Some users who listened to that caution and revoked access to their TiVo streaming dongle also had their wise home setup shuttered, with Nest devices being de-linked from their Google accounts.
