A:AnswerUnfortunately, not. Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd Generation is bigger compared to the older generations. We suggest using the back plate that comes in the box.

A:AnswerI am very sorry. I hired someone to install. And he said the instructions they provided were great. (He is a handyman and very knowledgeable)
Sorry I can’t be more help.
A:AnswerHi, grab the edge and push in a little then go into your options and and see if you are interested in the automatic energy saving options that are available for you. (eg. sounds like the eco setting (Green leaf) may be set by default. If not then you may go into the schedule and clear it all out then you set it to what you want when you want it at the time you want it either manually or by the scheduler. but if you need immediate comfort when it turns gray take hold of the rim or edge and turn it to the left to your ideal temp for your home. Now I will you this, say you choose let's say 70 for your ideal temp, it will run until it gets the house to 69 and will not turn your air back on until temp reaches 71 hope this helps. If not at your leisure sign in to Nest on your pad, computer where you can SIT and read and maybe get the gest of it. After you learn and work thru the quirks of it learning you and you learning it, it is actually a money saver. Be patient it will PAY OFF.
A:AnswerNo, you can adjust things through the app on your phone and when we had a power outage it just comes back on once power is restored and continues with the same settings as before.
A:AnswerYou can create or adjust the temperature schedule of your Nest thermostat the way you want in the app or directly on the thermostat. If you want your thermostat's temperature to remain at 70 degrees, we recommend setting it manually and turning off "auto-schedule" feature to avoid it from changing automatically.

Also, Nest Learning Thermostat works with most 24V heating and cooling systems. This includes gas, electric, forced air, heat pump, oil, hot water, solar, geothermal and even radiant systems. We recommend using our Compatibility Checker tool on this link to verify if your system is compatible: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9246656 or you may reach out to us anytime for assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
A:AnswerYes, installation is pretty easy if you follow the very clear instructions. The key is matching the old wires to the new base. If the wires don’t match, call a professional.
A:AnswerIf you remove the thermostat from the base plate, you can recharge the internal lithium battery using the usb wire included with your thermostat.
A:AnswerAs long as you're both listed as users in the app, each phone will work independent of each other. Make sure both phones are set to allow Nest to use the phones location all the time (not just when using the app).
A:AnswerI know you can set the Fan run a few times. I haven’t played with that much. All I know is because of the application on your phone you can do many things.
A:AnswerNo fee is charged, upfront, or monthly.
Unless you pay someone to install it for you, then that is a different point altogether, but if one is capable of reading and following instructions, one should be able to install it oneself.
I would suggest checking the current thermostat brand and wiring disposition with the webpage to assure compatibility of the device before actually purchasing.
Cheers!
