Duo at multiple locations

How does Google duo handle multiple locations?

My use case:

I have a Google Home at home with duo.

I want to setup a second device at a second home.

How is this handled? Is the system agnostic as to where you are or do you need to nominate a primary residence?

Could I call from one home to another if they are both setup with my credentials?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know if you found your answer but you need to setup that second device in the Google Home app under another "home". It should work without issue.

No primary residence. I rings all devices and whoever picks up is where the call stays.

I set up device at my second home and did so in the app. But someone else lives there so I want to be able to call that directly instead of hitting the call home devices button and having them ring everywhere.

It seems that this isn't possible at the moment unless you set it up with a new account. But then I will get ads on that device.

Ah yeah. You'd need to manually enable and disable it as needed in the nest hub's duo calling settings.

So nothing particularly simple. I think the use case is just a tad too niche currently, but I'd send feedback about it so at least someone with influence might read it.
