    Decent product, painful setup. If you have a Google home setup and the Nest app this new Nest thermostat will not be compatible with your current system and will not communicate with older Nest thermostats. Setup was not clear as to which QR codes to scan in order to integrate into your system only to find out you needed to set up a whole new system separate from the current system.

  • 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

  • DO NOT BUY, can't turn Eco mode off

    Do not buy for the looks. Owned multiple Nests over 4 years—this 4th gen is my fifth replacement (warranty + out-of-pocket). Same infuriating issue: Set it to 68°, runs ~15 min, then flips to Eco mode automatically. You can't turn Eco off permanently. The "learning" is useless. I got the $120 ecobee, I can set it and forget it.

      Hey there, BaileyJ. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with getting the perfect temperature on the Nest Thermostat Gen 4. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue:

      1. Disable learning for the temperature schedule: When Auto-Schedule or Smart Schedule is turned on, it learns from the adjustments you make to optimize your schedule. You can manually edit the existing schedule, create an entirely new one, or turn off these learning features.

      2. Turn off or adjust Eco Temperature: Your Nest thermostat gives you a temperature range you can select from when you set an Eco Temperature. The Eco Temperature ranges you can choose from are: 40-70°F (4-21°C) for heating mode and 76-90°F (24-32°C) for cooling mode.

    NOt worth the cost for this thermostat. Forces you to use google home app, which is far more complicated than the Nest App. Visually its nicer, and the install is easy. But if you're thinking of spending the money just for a few looks, don't do it. Gen 3 is the way to go

    I've had it for about 8 months. The user interface to get to the settings is absolutely ridiculous. The shiny screen is annoying and hard to see. The device is incredibly fragile and breaks easily. Google home randomly drops the device from its list and you have to set everything up again.
