Q: Questionwill this thermostat work with a whole house humidifier ?

Asked 4 years ago by Rocco.

• A:Answer We don't have a whole house humid (I'm assuming you mean it's part of the furnace system?) I would assume it does/can because it tracks humidity. Obviously check with your installer.

• A:Answer Nest thermostats are designed to work with most 2-wire 20 - 30V systems. You need to check what the color of the wire is for before you connect it on your Nest Learning Thermostat. We recommend using our Compatibility Checker tool on this link to verify if your system is compatible: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9246656

Q: QuestionI am debating between a Learning nest and a Honeywell T9. Does the nest have a vacation mode. We leave for 2 months in the winter and do not need to keep normal temps

Asked 4 years ago by Pjp.

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

• A:Answer Because it's all done via your phone it doesn't matter. You can change it while you're away. Or just go into the schedule and set up an away schedule for when you're gone and change it back when you get home. You can also change the "away" settings and leave it on away while you're gone. Lots of options. But no, there's no selection called vacation.

Q: QuestionI live in Florida can you control your humidity level with nest will it take the place of my humidistat control?

Asked 4 years ago by Toorch.

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

• A:Answer Nest thermostats already come with a humidity sensor with a feature called ¨Cool to Dry¨ that works similarly to the Humidistat. With Cool to Dry, Nest Learning Thermostat can use your air conditioner (AC) or heat pump to help reduce excessive humidity, and help maintain a healthier environment for your home. But for humidifiers and dehumidifiers, we recommend professional installation to avoid any issue or damage to your HVAC systems.

• A:Answer It can be set to do so however be aware that there is a built in temperature difference of approximately 2 or 3 degrees to prevent the system from switching to often thereby saving wear and tear on your system.

Q: QuestionDoes it require 'C' wire? If not how battery get charge?

Asked 5 years ago by Vijay.

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

• A:Answer The Nest Learning Thermostat is engineered to use very little power: So, even though Nest thermostats have sensors, displays, and more, they typically don't need a C wire to stay charged up. It uses the voltage from your system’s wires to keep its internal battery charged. However, if it's not getting enough power from your system, you will be needing to install C wire to have it's own source of power.
