Google wifi app on new device

I've tried the google wifi help community on this but the only advice for all of the same or similar questions is 'is the new device on the same google account?' and there is never anything further.

I got a new phone a couple of weeks ago and just had cause to use the google wifi app for the first time since. So I downloaded it and tried to get it to recognise my google wifi. It only goes in to setup mode, there is no option for finding an existing google wifi network. In set up mode I've been down to the room with the ethernet connection and at one point touched the phone to the puck.

The app mentions the light has to be flashing, so I power cycled everything and tried to get it to pick up when the puck was flashing but it wouldn't.

Has anyone successfully set the app up on a new device when it's already set up on an existing device? If so, how? Will it help if I uninstall it on the existing device (I can't really thing why given I still won't be setting up from new)? I really don't wan to have to keep my iPad going for this one app and it really seems like it should be able to be used on a 2nd device with the same user. Everything else about it is so nice and easy.
