Error 400 during the Nest integration setup

Hi all,
I’ve worked my way through the excellent step by step instructions for Nest - Home Assistant as I want to add thermostat to HA.
I’m running into a brick wall at the Device Setup / OAuth and Device Authorization steps / Link Google account.
The link generated for the ‘authorise your account’ takes me to nestservices, but with the error “Can’t link to Nest” (where Nest is my project name).
I’ve fiddled around with the URL based on the docs Authorize an Account  |  Device Access  |  Google Developers as it seemed the project_id was used for the client_id also. Changing this, I get further, I can set the permissions, but then get the error -

Error 400: invalid_request
You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy for keeping apps secure.
If you’re the app developer, make sure that these request details comply with Google policies.
* redirect_uri: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob

Any help much appreciated !
Kev

UPDATE
I see this has been discussed already here Nest Authorization Error Error 400: invalid_request - #33 by dmcnaugh15

Sorry for the duplicate post.
