Product Manuals

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

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 work with Nest app. On iPhone. I have two older thermostats that use Nest app. And would want to add any newer ones.

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

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.

Q: Can the 2020 Nest Thermostat control a HVAC humidifier?

A: Yes it can control a HVAC humidifier when I set up my Nest while you are going through the set up with Google Nest app it gives you several options. That option to connect HVAC humidifier is on the setting. I hope this helps answer your question.

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Great product!! Not so great app.

    Great product!! I purchased 3 of these to replace the older thermostats that came with my house. They are intuitive. Once you learn how to operate them you can see the current temperature, change settings, and even setup routines on the Google Home app. The mirrored finish looks very nice. The display is bright and easily readable as well. The price point is not bad either. I have a Google Nest learning thermostat as well. This one is less complicated, but doesn’t have as many features. Honestly, the features it does have are perfect considering the lower cost. My biggest complaint isn’t with the product, but the app. Google has 2 apps, the Nest app and the Home app. I prefer the Nest app, but these do not work with that one. Oh well. It doesn’t detract from the device itself. Even with that, I give it 5 stars. I will also say, if your HVAC system doesn’t have a dedicated “C” wire, you’ll need to install a transformer to feed the 24 bolts required to charge the batteries. It was super simple for me, but you may need a professional to install this if you are not a fortunate as I was.

    Easy to use with good features

    Great product for the price you pay especially if you can get it at a promotion deal. Easy to use and very good features. Very small and fits nicely. Easy to install but set aside 1.5-2 hours. Make sure it is compatible in advance with your system, by checking on google website.

    Great energy saver!

    Replaced our old Thermostat for the Nest. It works great and its the first Smart decice for our house. Love how it can be controlled from my phone. It also helps save energy with the app. I will say dont use the Geek Squad as they did not do a good job installing. They blew a fuse in the furnace and said to call a pro as the nest didnt work. I They touched a wire together. The electrician told me they should have not only turned off the ac on the panel but also unplug the furnace when installing. I need to paint the wall where the old one was as it was bigger.
