Before creating your first project, you must register for Device Access.
Registration consists of the acceptance of the [Google API](https://developers.google.com/terms) and [Device
Access Sandbox](https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access/tos) Terms of Service, along with a one-time,
non-refundable fee (US$5) per account.

You will not be able to create a project until you have accepted both Terms of
Service and paid the registration fee. This applies to all users, both
individual users and those looking to create a commercial
offering.

Register in the Device Access Console, if you haven't already:

[Go to the Device Access Console](https://console.nest.google.com/device-access)

> [!WARNING]
> **Warning:** You must use a [consumer Google Account](https://support.google.com/work/android/answer/6371476) (for example, a gmail.com account) to register for Device Access. You cannot use a Google Workspace account. If you work for an organization, we suggest registering for Device Access using an account for your team.

> [!WARNING]
> **Warning:** Once a Google Account is associated with your Device Access Project **it cannot be changed**, be sure you are signed into the correct Google Account before continuing.

Once payment has been accepted you will receive an email confirmation, which
completes your registration. The Device Access Console will be enabled for
your account and you can create projects. See the [Quick Start
Guide](https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access/get-started) for next steps.

## Account issues

#### I would like to cancel my Device Access registration

The US$5 registration fee is non-refundable.

#### I want to change the email address associated with my projects

You can't change the email address associated with your Device Access
projects. If you work for an organization, we recommend using a generic team
email address during registration to avoid access issues in the future.

#### I have technical issues with my integration

See [Device Access Support](https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access/support) for ways to get
assistance.
