    Very friendly user interface. I much prefer Nest thermostat E to Nest thermostat. The E is lockable which is handy in rental properties. Be aware of difference between thermostat and thermostat E. It’s a shame the E is going out of production.

    No longer works with Nest or Alexa

    I just got this thermostat from Best Buy today. It no longer works with Nest of Alexa. It only works with Google Home. Buyer beware of updated compatibility. It it very easy to install and it looks sleek. If you have Alexa like I do, you won’t be able to integrate it, but you can control it from a mobile device, or set it on a timed schedule like I did.

      Hi CatO, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We do apologize that your Nest Thermostat isn’t working with your Alexa.

      The new Nest Thermostat is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. 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. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your Nest devices can be set up and controlled in one place.

      We value your feedback as we are always working to improve our products and services. If you need assistance, feel free to contact our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Question if I would buy it Again.

    I had the Nest for a couple years. I have had this for Google one for a year. I love the features but my new heater was not working well. None of the heater repair people know how to use it or will touch it. The two groups of heater repair people all bad mouth it. They ultimately said it was the source of the problems although there were two things found wrong after a year of trouble shooting. One said it does not support two stage heating. If you buy this you need to have repair people who know it. Good luck in finding them. Otherwise you are between a rock and a hard place as the saying goes .

    Buyer Beware

    Review of new 2020 Nest Thermostat I bought this product through a discount program that my utility company had. I bought two of these thermostats to go along with 4 google nest "E" thermostats that I installed about a year ago. This product is far, far inferior to the nest "E" thermostats. I hired the same electrician to install it as the one that installed my 4 other nest thermostats. Very little, if anything, came in the way of installation instructions. No where does it say that you need a C wire which apparently I needed but did not know. Therefore, when installed, the thermostats gave us an error code. This error code meant that we needed more power - i.e. a C wire. However, no where does it tell you what the error code means. Certainly not in the none existent instructions. So we didn't know. The thermostat appeared to have power as it was registering temperature, etc. So I let my electrician leave (I was paying by the hour) and figured I could resolve any issues with nest support. WRONG I now have to call my electrician back to install 2 C wires. In addition, everything about this thermostat is cheap plus it comes with no mounting plate. This apparently is a $15 option which you have to buy separately. It is much more difficult to adjust and use vs the E thermostat plus it doesn't work with the Nest app (which I use and like for my google camera, doorbell and 4 other thermostats). Apparently you must use the google home app - a very poorly designed app. Google has regressed tremendously with the production of this thermostat. I thought very highly of Google and its products until I bought these two thermostats.

      Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that Nest Thermostat didn’t meet your expectations.

      In most cases, Nest Thermostats can use your system’s heating and cooling wires to power itself. However, there are cases when your system won't be able to deliver the required power anymore, especially if you´re having multiple Nest thermostats or if your system isn´t properly maintained. Having a common (C) wire helps to deliver enough consistent power to your Nest thermostats.

      If you´re willing to try, you may cross reference the error code on your Nest Thermostat by cross referencing it with his help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9703359

      We're hoping you will keep using your Nest Thermostat, and if ever you need help, please feel free to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
