Posted .Hi there, Narc9er. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Nest Thermostat, and we’re sorry to hear your expectations are not met.
Our priority is giving our customers options and making devices for every home. Nest thermostats are designed to be more than just smart; they're also meant to be thoughtful and helpful parts of a home. And while every good quality product comes at a premium price, Google Nest worked on giving our customers a beautiful, yet affordable and easy-to-install thermostat for households that are interested in a smart thermostat without going over the budget.
We understand that having the ability to manage different room temperature settings remotely can be ideal for you. However, the Nest Temperature Sensor only works with the Nest Learning Thermostat, 3rd generation and Nest Thermostat E (US, Canada, Mexico).
We’d be happy to share this feedback with the right team for future improvements. For any other concerns, or if there’s anything we can help you with, let us know by visiting us at: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Google take over
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would have liked it better if it could still work with my Nest app. It forces you to use the Google home app. My other Nest devices can't be used on the Google home app. So now I have to use 2 different Apps to operate my Nest products. Very disappointing and inefficient....also the side touch-slide is awkward to use. The Nest E worked better

Posted .Hi JJWWPP, thanks for sharing your insights with us. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Google Home app and Nest Thermostat.
Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. We've taken note of your feedback and we'll make sure to pass along this information to our product team since we're always on the look out for ways to improve our products and services. For any other support needs, please consider contacting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Quirky to say the least.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I assumed this would work like a regular learning nest but it doesn’t. Nobody knows how to use it. The 2 stars are because I can control/see the temp from my phone anywhere. Not a user friendly device. Pay more for the good model.

Posted .Hello there, Zeeeeeee. We appreciate your feedback, and we’re glad that you like the remote functionality of the Nest Thermostat. We’re sorry to hear that your experience has not exceeded your expectations.
Since the Nest Thermostat doesn't have a touch screen, you can use the touch bar on the right side to control your thermostat. Swipe up to raise the temperature, swipe down to lower it, and tap to confirm. The display will show you how many minutes until your desired temperature is reached. Here’s how:
- Tap the touch bar to bring up the menu.
- Swipe up or down to select an option.
- Tap the touch bar again to confirm your selection.
Also, you can control and manage the thermostat settings using the app even when you’re not at home if your thermostat and Home app (phone or tablet) are both online. The thermostat will show offline in the app if it’s not connected to your Wi-Fi, and you won’t be able to manage the thermostat settings using your phone or app. However, you can change the behavior of your Google Nest thermostat in its settings using the thermostat display. You can do things like change the temperature schedule, switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, view technical information, and more. Check this out for more info: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9244728
If you need help with using the thermostat effectively, feel free to contact us and we’d be happy to guide you, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Stick with the Learning Thermostats
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought two Nest Learning thermostats along with this Programmable thermostat for our home. The two learning units installed flawlessly while this one was a pain. I even paid an election $100 to hook it up, but he could not get it to work either. He didn't recommend this leser Nest thermostat either. I returned this one today and re-installed the old basic unit.

Posted .Hi there, JillL. We appreciate your feedback on the Nest Thermostat. We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy using the Nest devices from the Nest app. However, the Nest Thermostat is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest devices. We also wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Other benefits include the following:
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together.
- 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.

Posted .Hey there, BulentA. We’re sorry to hear you came across this issue with the Nest Thermostat. This device uses the voltage from your system’s wires to keep its internal battery charged. If the power from your system is insufficient, the thermostat will run off the batteries for a while before it must turn off completely. But if you repeatedly get low battery messages from your thermostat, or if there’s another power-related message, you may need to check the C wire connection or install a C wire to provide consistent power to your thermostat and prevent the internal batteries from draining.
We can help you check for other reasons why the thermostat is behaving differently. We welcome you to visit us anytime using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp";\

Not excited about this Nest
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hard to use. Have to skim around the sides and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Does not work with other nests and app is hard to connect to. I have a learning nest also programmed and connected to my heating system and the two do not work together.

The worst tech experience I have ever had
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As of this writing, I have been fighting for a YEAR to get this thing to work properly. I spent countless hours on the phone with just getting the thing to connect to the app!! Then it kept dropping power. And then the internal temperature it showed was very high so I had to pump my heat all the way up to get it to turn on and warm the house. I had heating bills over $200 last season because of this thing. And the worst part is Google has not been helpful in getting a replacement. So I am choosing another brand. Would give five THUMBS DOWN for this overpriced piece of crap.
