Forcing Nest Configurator to Reoccur

Configuration
1

Hello folks! I’m in desperate need of some help with configuring my nest with home assistant. I think I may have goofed things up considerably.

I initially created the nest dev account with a nest account not associated with my thermostat (mistakenly. Under my personal email, not me and my wife’s shared email). Got the client id and all that, and once I launched HA I was prompted for the pin. I entered it, but the nest thermostat never appeared in my frontend.

I then (a few days later) created a nest dev account (and product) for the account associated with the nest thermostat. But now that I’ve changed my configuration.yaml to reflect that, I’m not prompted to enter the PIN when I launch HA. How do I induce HA to re-prompt me to enter the PIN for this new account?

The only items in my configuration.yaml are the lines:

nest:
client_id: CLIENT_ID
client_secret: CLIENT_SECRET

(obviously adjusted to include my ID and secret)

and the lines:
climate:
- platform: nest

Thank you very much for any help you can provide!

P.S. I feel quite guilty about the fact that my first two posts are in two separate threads of my own creation. I’ve made an earnest but failed attempt to find the resolution to my problem in both the getting started guide and the forums!

Have you tried deleting your nest.conf file (located in the same configuration directory as your configuration.yaml file)? My hunch is that the access_token in there needs to go bye-bye before it can be re-configured.

@pr0wl3r , thank you so much! That was it. And now that it’s working, I’m confident that the reason why it wasn’t working in the first place is because I had associated it with the wrong account.
