    I love the look of the new Thermostat. The touch pad control is also very responsive. However, I wish the trim plate would come with the unit.

    I love this thermostat. That’s the design is amazing. It’s super easy to use. It’s super easy to hook up. And most the time your electric company has a rebate on them

      Hey My3chis, thanks for the feedback you shared about the Nest Thermostat, and we appreciate that you love the remote features using your phone and app. We hear you, and we understand that longtime Nest users like you enjoy using the Nest app to manage and control your Nest devices. However, the Nest Thermostat is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Using the Google Home app provides you with a lot of benefits including access to Google's trusted security platform and access to other Google tools and with seamless integration with other Google devices. A single place to set up, manage, automate, and control your home, including devices from other brands.

      Here are some other benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Thermostat:
      - Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
      - You can use voice commands on your speaker or display to override a lock temperature.
      - One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
      - Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.

      We’d be happy to share this with the right team for future improvements. If you need help with using the thermostat effectively in the Home app, please contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Had nest gen 2 and worked great. Installed Nest smart and it would not connect to wifi. You can not manually set it up either. Researched and have heard this is a common problem. Went with Ecobee premium and no issues.

      Hi there, Combs. Sorry you ran into trouble connecting your Nest Thermostat to your Wi-Fi network — we understand how frustrating that can be. Here are a couple of troubleshooting steps to get your device back on track:

      1. Check for a W5 help code: If your thermostat can’t see any nearby Wi-Fi networks, including your own, you may have a W5 issue. To access Network settings, press the thermostat ring and open the Quick View menu. Then, select Settings and turn the ring until Network appears. If you see an Error - nest.com/w5 message on your thermostat, go to Troubleshoot a Nest thermostat W5 code.
      2. Restart your thermostat: On your thermostat, go to Settings and then Restart. After your thermostat has finished restarting, use the Home app to try to connect again.
      3. Restart your router: Sometimes a router restart can get your network to show up on your thermostat.

      Here’s a link with more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9249211?hl=en#zippy=;

    Purchased for the cabin with mini boiler and radiant heaters. After spending much time trying to make the wiring work; finally searched on internet to find out unit not compatible with multiple setups including mine. I already had a Nest gen 3 on another zone and agent stated this would would work. Returned and replaced with more expensive gen 3. Definitely recommend gen 3 as prefer screen and rotary/push control of gen 3 over this unit.

    Very happy with this. Easily to install and use. I find it easier to use with the Nest mini vs the Echo dot. Do make sure you check the compatibility with your HVAC system before buying.

    Nest gets an A for their thermostat. I like the AI that is in this. It learns your behavior. So you find yourself not having to modify the room temperature as much.
