    I pre-ordered it assuming it would work just like the Nest Learning Thermostat or the Nest Thermostat E. It does not. This new model requires a C-wire. Returning to the store and going for the learning model instead.

      Hi Jeff,
      We appreciate your feedback on Nest Thermostat. The Nest Thermostat is designed to work if your home doesn’t have a common (C) wire. In some cases, particularly if you have a heating- or cooling-only system or use a zone controller, a C wire or other power-supply accessory may be necessary. If you decide to give Nest Thermostat a second try, we'd be happy to help you set it up if you can reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I really don’t like it because it won’t work with either app, Echo or Google Nest. It keeps giving me an Offline message on the app. Other than, using it physically it’s nice.

      Hi there KBay, thanks for letting us know about the issue with your Nest Thermostat. It's unfortunate to hear that it's always disconnecting. Your Nest thermostat gets its power from your HVAC system’s wiring and requires a stable and constant 24 Volt supply. There are cases where these wires can't deliver enough power to support the Nest thermostat's features, then they start draining the batteries and disconnect from your Wifi network. In such cases, installing a common(C) wire between your HVAC and Nest thermostat is required and will help fix such issues. We recommend contacting a Nest Pro technician to help check your system and advise you whether your system will need a common (C) wire or not. If you still have some questions you have in mind, we'd be happy to answer them if you could visit us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    It looks nice and it’s smaller than I wanted. Also when I need to adjust the Temperature, it does not work as well, when I use my hand. But in my phone I have no problem adjusting the temperature.

      Hi Vern,

      Thanks for letting us know about your experience with Nest Thermostat. Sorry about the issue you’re experiencing when adjusting the temperature using the touch bar. We’d like to help you out right away.

      If the touch bar doesn’t respond at all, you can follow the steps below to perform a manual restart on your thermostat:

      - Pull the thermostat off its base and remove both AAA batteries.
      - Replace the batteries and press the thermostat onto the base until they hear it click into place. The thermostat will take a few moments to turn on and restart.

      We'd like to learn more about why you’re unable to adjust the temperature using the touch bar and help you in the best way possible. If you're willing, you can get in touch with our support team and we'll help you troubleshoot the issue further. Please feel free to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    It would easily be a five but it wasn’t able to be installed due to the lack of a c-wire connection. I now have to buy additional components and install it myself

      Hi xantosshado, thanks for informing us about the issue. We´re sorry to hear that your Nest Thermostat requires a common (C) wire.

      Nest Thermostat gets its power from your HVAC system’s wiring. There are cases where these wires can't deliver enough power to support the Nest thermostat's features, then they start draining the batteries and disconnect from your Wifi network. In such cases, installing a common (C) wire between your HVAC and Nest thermostats can resolve the battery drain problem.

      For any other questions you may have, we're ready to assist you if you could visit our page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I do not recommend this thermostat. It it unable to keep my bedroom at a comfortable temperature. The room is always too hot or too cold, and I have to manually override the thermostat. For example sometimes when the temperature in the room is several degrees above the set level the air conditioning does not come on.
