2 stage forced hot air heat with 2 stage air conditioner Will the Nest work with this type of heater? I also have a small dog, how will the dogs movement affect the temperature?

Question

Nellz · Accepted Answer

The Nest will work with a 2 stage system.

Depending on how high or low on the wall you have your Nest set, the dog may trigger the system to think that you are home and switch from Away. I have 2 dogs and the Nest is set at standard height. They do not set off the sensor.

My 4 year old doesn't trigger ours so I doubt your dog would.

I believe the Nest will work with it without a problem but consult Nest's website-Your dog will not effect the thermostat at all.

1. Check with Nest about compatibility https://nest.com/widget/compatibility/

2. We have a Yorkie (7lbs) and he doesnt trigger the AC as far as I know. It does detect when we get home through our phones, but I've checked on our AC from work and it shows we are away. You can set the thermostat to be a comfortable temp while away so your dog wont get too hot or cold.

The Nest website can help.


The Nest Thermostat works in most homes. It figures out what system you have and turns on the right features for you.
