I want to remotely monitor the temperature in my attic, without connection to an HVAC system. Assuming the Nest thermostat is properly powered using an external transformer, can it be used for this purpose? null

Unfortunately, Nest Thermostat won’t work with that setup. You can only monitor your Nest Thermostat on the app once it is properly installed, which is connected to your HVAC system, connected to your Wi-Fi network, and successfully added on the app.

I suppose it could be. But there are so many other, cheaper alternatives designed for this sort of purpose. I use an Airthings device to monitor temp & humidity in my basement. It could be great for your attic.
