• A:Answer To determine compatibility, we'd suggest using our compatibility checker found here: https://nest.com/support/article/How-to-tell-if-your-heating-and-cooling-system-will-work-with-the-Nest-Thermostat If the Nest will work with your current wiring, then you would be able to connect the Nest to your Wi-Fi, and control it from anywhere through the app as long as you have access to Wi-Fi or Data.

Q: QuestionMy old stats use only two wires for heating . Can I use the Nest stat ?

Asked 7 years ago by Doctor1.

This question was asked about the related product: Google - Nest Learning Smart Wifi Thermostat - White

• A:Answer You can use the Nest thermostat in this case but only one thermostat without a C wire. If you have a second thermostat, you will need to run a common. The charging cycle of the Nest thermostats may draw too much for more than two 2 wire thermostats.

Q: QuestionMy house has a hot water boiler and A/C unit, each has its own thermostat. Can I combine them together to be controlled by one Nest?

Asked 8 years ago by lstall00.

• A:Answer I do not believe you can. I use Nest thermostats for the hot water heating system and Honeywell smart thermostats for the Central Air. This isn't because of a defect in the nest, it is that each requires a dedicated thermostat. You could add two nest thermostats and name each one for the system it controls to enable simple control from your smart phone.

• A:Answer I'm assuming yes. So I have the app on my phone. All I had to do was send an invitation to my moms iPhone and it sent a link for her to download the app and create an account with her email. And now we can both control the nest, I have an android and she has an iPhone.

Q: QuestionIs a Nest compatible with Apple HomeKit?

Asked 9 years ago by LovinFall.

• A:Answer From what I've read there is no compatibility with Nest and Apple Home Kit. I don't think there is any plan for that, either. It's unfortunate, but if it's true from what I've been reading it's a territorial battle that leaves two companies/products that don't "play with each other." I could be wrong, but that's the short answer to your question.
