      Hi there, thanks for sharing your feedback with us, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience with using the Nest Learning Thermostat is not ideal.

      Nest thermostat changes its temperature automatically due to some factors like schedule, learned habits (auto schedule), and Home/Away Assist which makes your thermostat go to ECO mode. You have an option to use it as a traditional programmable thermostat, and you can manually set the temperature and create your schedules for the thermostat to follow. Besides turning off the Auto Schedule feature, we also suggest turning off your Home/Assist, and clearing the existing schedules by selecting Settings > Reset > Schedule > Reset again.

      If additional help is still required after the simple steps above, we'd be happy to assist you further and investigate the reasons behind this issue. Please visit us anytime and we'll figure out a way to help improve your experience here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Battery stopped working after 5 months. Wouldn’t hold a charge. Called Best Buy- no help. Called Google- ran tests with them for over an hour. Finally agreed to replace the system. Also getting a W5 now error and won’t connect to internet. Trouble is- this is not a quick replacement. Snow storm coming this weekend and Google will not pay for expedited shipping. Looking at having to manually plug in Nest to USB cable to use thermostat every 4-5 hours. Low temps this weekend will be 6-8 degrees. Do not buy this product. Does not have a back up battery like most thermostats and Google won’t even pay for expedited shipping, knowing bitter temperatures are coming this weekend. Horrible company, horrible customer service. Will not be buying Google products ever again.

    Moved to a new home, and the first thing purchased is a new Nest. I can't imagine living without the convenience of a remote thermostat. Nest is simple to install, and so easy to use.

    Doesn't work for long. After about a year of use it started falling all over the place and disconnecting from the Wi-Fi and going blank screen. We'd notice that air would be off for hours and the notice that the nest was just black screen. Not good.

      Hi Rvfarmstead, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the Nest Learning Thermostat and it’s unfortunate to learn that it didn’t work for long. We understand how inconvenient it could have been for you when your system was off for few hours.

      If your Nest thermostat isn't receiving enough power from your system wires and a common (C) wire is not connected to the thermostat, it will slowly start draining the battery which may result in an unexpected shutdown or disconnecting itself from your Wi-Fi network to preserve power. It may also be related to Wi-Fi connectivity issues where the battery drains due to the network usage of the device.

      You may try to completely disconnect your Nest thermostat from the Wi-Fi network and try to use it manually for at least 24 hours. If the issue is resolved while it is disconnected, the battery drain could be caused by your Wi-Fi network. If the issue continues to occur, then the system wires are probably not delivering enough power, and your Nest Learning Thermostat may need a common (C) wire to get adequate power to stay charged up.

      We may also need to learn more about this issue as there could be other several reasons why your thermostat goes off. If you haven’t yet, we suggest getting in touch with our dedicated team and we’ll do our best to help improve your experience, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Will only work on low voltage systems

    Google clearly stated on their web site that this would work with a 220-240 volt baseboard heater so I order one, yet once it arrived the installation instructions stated this was for low voltage (24 volt) systems. During a phone call to Google they admitted that according to their web page it should work with the higher voltage (they pulled their web page up while we where on the phone). I was very disappointed and returned the product for the full refund Google offered. The web site has since been corrected. I can only hope that they are working on a version that works with my wiring. Best Buy was very understanding and fantastic to deal with and I would buy this from them again once Google makes one I can use.
