A:AnswerAbsolutely! You can control Nest Thermostat E via the Nest app on your phone wherever you are as long as the Nest Thermostat E is connected to your Wi-Fi network. You can learn more here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9249866?hl=en
A:AnswerNo, the Nest Thermostat E can only monitor and control the temperature using the Nest app. It can’t control your humidifier/dehumidifier system as it doesn’t have the wiring support needed, although it comes with a humidity sensor which is limited to monitoring the humidity levels in your home.

A:AnswerThe Nest Thermostat E can charge it's built-in battery using your system’s heating and cooling wires. It is engineered to use very little power to stay charged up.
A:AnswerYes, as long as the system is a low voltage model (operating at 24 volts). The Nest Thermostat E will still be a functional thermostat even without Wi-Fi. Also, you can either manually control the thermostat from the display or use the Nest app on your phone or tablet and control it remotely.
A:AnswerYou need to have the Nest app on your phone to be able to control the Nest thermostat. Nest app is free to download on both iOS and Android tablet/mobile device. Here's how to connect your thermostat to the app: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9301088
Once you add your Nest thermostat to the app, you can easily control it, even when you’re not at home. For more details on how, check this: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9249866
A:AnswerYes, the Nest Thermostat E already has a built-in temperature sensor. But you also have the option to buy a separate Nest Temperature Sensor which can pair with your Nest thermostat and use it as the primary sensor. You can then place the Nest Temperature Sensor anywhere in your home and it will send temperature readings to your Nest thermostat.

A:AnswerYes, you can lock your Nest Thermostat E and set a temperature range. Anyone can turn the thermostat’s ring to change the temperature within the range you’ve set, but they won’t be able to set the temperature outside of your range or change any of your settings, unless they have your 4-digit pin code.

A:AnswerYes, when you set up the wires it charges right through the system. You do not need to use anything else to plug it in even if you don't have the third "C" wire. If your house doesn't have a "C" wire I have seen there are possibly issues with charging but you can add one with a kit.
A:AnswerThe Nest Thermostat E works with 85% of 24V heating and cooling systems, including gas, electric, forced air, heat pump. To make sure that your system is compatible with Nest Learning Thermostat, you can use the Compatibility Checker here: https://store.google.com/us/widget/compatibility/thermostat
A:AnswerIt will depend on the third-party app or devices you'll be using. It will be best to check the compatibility with Ring alarm systems manufacturer.
A:AnswerThat's right. Before you can control your thermostat with your phone, it needs to be connected to your Wi-Fi network and the Nest app. You’ll typically do all this during installation and setup.
A:AnswerYes it can but you may need to set up more than Nest thermostat and set it up as a zoned system. In zoned systems, each thermostat controls heating and cooling independently in order to heat or cool different areas of the house. Thermostats in zoned systems can control the same heating and cooling system or each thermostat can control its own system.
We recommend consulting with a Nest Pro technician or your preferred HVAC technician to set this up as it includes installation of air dampers and ductwork throughout your home.
A:AnswerNest Learning Thermostat & Nest Thermostat E can both measure the humidity though I do not think the E can control dehumidifier or such. They can measure it and the app can show you what it is. You can then adjust the ac to regulate. Or just set it at 78-80 F and not really worry.
A:AnswerYes, you can set your Nest thermostat as a traditional programmable thermostat. You can turn off Auto-Schedule learning and learn how to setup a manual schedule here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9209007
