Google Nest Wifi QR Code Generation

Create a QR Code for one that is destroyed, misplaced, or removed from Google Nest Wifi access points.

1. Use the following template to generate the text value for the QR code:

   1V:E100$P:3$R:1$D:700101$S:______________$L:641666004ADA471E$W:F072EA4C4100$H:____.ybc$C:________$
                             ^ ID                                               ^ Wifi ID  ^ Setup Code
   

   Note

   • The ID is close to the FCC info on the bottom
   • The Setup Code is at the opposite side of the FCC info on the bottom
   • The Wifi ID is derived from the SSID which looks like the following: GoodleNestPoint____.____.ybc

   

2. Create a QR code with the text value above. You can do so quickly by setting the text query parameter on this URL and downloading the resulting image.

3. Setup the Google Nest Wifi access point from the generated QR code

The google chart was deprecated, this works for me https://quickchart.io/qr?chs=177x177&text=

Also, thank you so much for figuring out the QR code schema. I spent 2 hours trying to get the Home app working with the "setup code" and only generating the QR code worked.

Nice! Updated. Thank you
