Meet the Nest Thermostat, the helpful thermostat with a cozy price. It can turn itself down to save energy when you leave the house. You can control it from anywhere with the Google Home app - whether you're on an errand or in bed. And it's easy to install yourself.
Q: What are the differences between this new model and the Thermostat e?
A: The Nest Thermostat (2020) comes with a 6 cm color LCD with 240x320 resolution, and mirrored glass finish. It provides more wiring terminals (10) that work with most 24V heating and cooling systems, including furnaces, air conditioners, boilers, and heat pumps with either forced air or radiant delivery. On the other hand, the Nest Thermostat E comes with polycarbonate, ceramic-feel finished ring with a frosted display that works with fewer (86%) 24V heating and cooling systems. While both Nest thermostat models work with most two-stage heating and two-stage cooling systems, we recommend checking the Compatibility Checker on our Google Nest support site to verify if your system is compatible. You can also take a look at the following support article for the complete technical specifications of the Nest thermostats: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9230098
Q: Do you need wifi to use the thermostat? Or can you use it no matter what
A: You can still use the Nest Thermostat to control your system even without Wi-Fi. However, you won't be able to utilize its other features such as remotely controlling the thermostat using the Home app. You can check this link to learn more about Nest Thermostat: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10125150
A: It is a mirror finish. The photos don't do the product justice.
Q: Does this work without wifi if I decide not to have wifi?
A: You need to connect to wifi to set up the thermostat. As soon as you power on the thermostat, the screen displays a message to set up on the Google Home app. There’s no workaround for this. Wifi is needed.
Q: does this nest work on a two zone system with natural gas heat and elec a/c system?
A: The Nest Thermostat is designed to work with most 24V systems, even older systems. Nest thermostats are usually compatible with zoned systems that use multiple thermostats, including zoned systems with dampers. However, we recommend using the Compatibility Checker tool on our Google Nest Help page to verify if your system is compatible with Nest Thermostat here: https://store.google.com/us/widget/compatibility/thermostat
Q: Is it compatible with the nest temperature sensors?
A: No, it is not remote sensor compatible. For that you need the Nest 3rd gen (standard $249 Nest) or Nest E.
A: No. You can only use the Google Home app for the new Nest Thermostat (2020). It's the first thermostat setup that is completed entirely on the Google Home app. Here's some helpful links you might want to check out: - Nest thermostat technical specifications: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9230098 - Control your devices using Google Home App: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9249866
A: Nest thermostats are designed to be able to work efficiently without the need of a power wire when the heating and cooling wires of your system can deliver enough power to keep the thermostat's battery charged up. But some heating/cooling wires unfortunately can't deliver adequate power to Nest thermostats. In such cases, Nest thermostats need a common (C) wire that goes into the C terminal of the thermostat. Since you´ve already checked with our Compatibility Checker tool, the next best step would be to contact a Nest Pro technician to check your system and install a common (C) wire if needed Our support teams are always here to assist you if you have any further questions.You can contact us via the Google Nest support page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow

If you're away from home often like I am, this Nest thermostat is a game-changer. It handles things automatically and efficiently, looks great, and gives you full control wherever you are. Definitely recommend it over Ecobee for travelers, commuters, or anyone who’s not home much.

Simplicity and design meet. A great thermostat that integrates with the Google Home app. It looks amazing on the wall, and it works perfectly. Setup by my electrician went very quickly, and connecting to the app and setting up wireless connection was a breeze.
