    Nest Gen 4 Doesn't Work with the Nest App

    This Nest Gen 4 doesn't work with the Nest app. A big miss by Google. I wish I had known that before I bought it. You have to use the Google Home app instead. I have several Nest Gen 3 thermostats, all on the Nest app. So faced with having to switch apps, I bought and installed an ecobee Premium to compare. The ecobee wins over the Nest thermostats hands-down. The touch-screen interface is a big plus. The ecobee app is waaaaay better than the Google Home app. From my point of view this product is only as good as the Google Home app, which is far from great. I returned the Nest Gen 4 to Best Buy. I plan to switch my other Nests to ecobees
