A distance of 3-5 feet falls under the acceptable range. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup. And so, it's best to create a new Home and try to access the device via the new Home. Sometimes, the issue may subside with a simple change of Home environment, a.k.a creating a new Home. Go to the Settings tab and select the Apps tab.
Search and open the Google Home app and select Force Stop. In a similar manner, try to refresh the Google Home app too. Start by unplugging your Google/Nest device from the power supply.

You probably might have come across this request while opening the app for the first time. If you failed to grant access to it then, better do it now. Open the Setting menu by clicking on the Setting icon from the home screen. Once the device is ready to be paired, the LEDs will blink white.
Rather than rebooting the router, I reboot my phone, and then it can magically see the devices again. Currently, there exist three variants of Google Home devices - Google Home, Home Mini, and Home Max. The second generation of Google smart devices came with the Nest moniker - Nest Hub, Nest Mini, Nest Audio, Nest Hub Max, and the newer Nest Hub .
Check if the Device is Ready to be Paired
Apart from checking and ensuring the optimal setting for the app, you might want to take a look at the Google device itself. In addition, you can try turning off or temporarily disabling other devices until you connect the one that bothers you. After that, things should go easier. Hello, after many searches I cannot find a solution to my issues with the control of ST using Google Assistant.
Any help to setup Google Assistant for the control of ST would be very helpful. I misspoke … i am on version .64 from version .59 … so maybe i did do something totally wrong here… but that doesnt explain why the chrome cast would work. Hardware issues on the Google/Nest gadgets could also hinder detection. Better keep an eye out for them too. Do ensure to maintain adequate proximity between the devices, though.
General troubleshooting
Like most apps making use of connectivity services, the Google Home app does require access to location services to work. Turn on Local Network Access for the app you would like to allow access to your network. This will allow permissions for your device to discover Cast-enabled devices. Just tap on the plus icon in the top left corner. From there, tap “Set up device” and tap “Works with Google”. Locate the manufacturer, select it, and sign in with your credentials if asked.
The connection issue could be connection between the clouds. I remember having a real PIA trying to get ST, Hue & Harmony accounts linked to GH. It was all through the GH app though.
If you still can't find it, move to the next step. The speaker or display is plugged in and powered on. If you are using Google Home on an iPhone, you’ll need to grant it Bluetooth and Location access. On the other hand, on Android, Google Home requests only Location access in order to add devices. With that in mind, make sure that the app has all permissions granted. I found a suggestion somewhere here to add resync as an automation that kick off every time you boot HA.
Move the speaker or display to a different location. This will rule out any interference in the area which may be causing the SSID to not broadcast properly. Reconnect the power cable back into your speaker or display. Make sure that your phone and the device you want to add to Google Home are both connected to one SSID. You'll be able to use Google Home and Nest devices as hubs for Matter-enabled products.
I already had the API key setup and syncing used to work, but stopped. The docs show that the test app expires and you can re-create it. This worked for me and I could resync my devices without much effort. Well, the media changes that broke my device didn’t get into 0.64 until build 3. You may want to update to the latest and greatest.
Make sure that the device is set up in the companion app. Many devices don’t require companion apps these days, but we still suggest using them. Once you add the device to your Home, you can uninstall the app. The devices that come to mind first are smart bulbs that use Tuya/Smart Home apps. You should unplug Google Home/Nest and restart the device you want to connect, too.
Nonetheless, a system refresh can get rid of any such temporal issues. If there is no such option within the app tab, your Google Home app is up to date. Now that you've taken care of the prereqs, let's start the troubleshooting procedure. Toggle the Use Location/Access Location option to enable the service.
Chances are there was an issue that has since been fixed. If you are still facing the issue even after going through all the tips mentioned here, better contact the customer services of Google for further assistance. Confirm the selection by tapping on the Delete App option. With a power cycle test, you not only get the system refreshed but also deplete any static charges that may have piled up over time on your device.
Make sure Bluetooth and Location are enabled on your phone
Whether from system inconsistencies or an improper power supply, the device may put out different LED statuses - like the Google device blinking orange. While there are quite a few fixes to this issue, refreshing the system will do for now. Log in to the respective app stores to set up automatic updates.
Hence, best if you veer away from other Smart Home gadgets. Apart from the tips mentioned above, you should also consider relocating the Google/Nest device to a more convenient location to avoid proximity-based errors. Then, press and hold the app icon to open the popup menu. Once you uninstall the app, you can always reinstall it from the respective app stores.
