Troubleshooting

If you have not yet obtained Google Commercial Development, and your end user attempts to connect a Google Nest thermostat to Seam using a Connect Webview, the Connect Webview displays the following error:

No access to partner Information could not be retrieved. Please contact <Your Company Name> to verify that your account has been properly set up. You may need to add the developer email address as a home member in the Google Home app settings.

Note that, until you obtain Google Commercial Development, you can only connect devices associated directly with your own Google test users’ accounts to Seam.
