      Hi Matt,

      Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We´re sorry to hear of the Wi-Fi disconnection and power issues you are experiencing with your Nest Thermostat.

      Low battery and no power issues may occur when the heating and cooling wires for your system can't deliver enough power to keep the Nest Thermostat charged up. As a result it starts draining the batteries and disconnects from your Wi-Fi. And sometimes, the Wi-Fi connectivity can also cause the battery to drain as it can't charge up at the same time it consumes power. Installing a common (C) wire between your HVAC system and Nest Thermostat can help resolve the Wi-Fi disconnection and power problems. We recommend contacting a Nest pro technician to check if your HVAC system might already have a common wire installed, and install one if needed. For more information on the common wire, you can go visit this page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9251212

      We're always here to assist you with any issue you may encounter with our products. If you'd like us to take a look at the issue and help resolve it, you can reach out to us at Google Nest support page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi Adam, thanks for the feedback to let us know of your experience with using the Nest Thermostat. It’s unfortunate to learn you ran into this issue. While most 24 V HVAC systems are compatible with Nest thermostats, there are some systems that aren’t compatible. We suggest using our online compatibility checker to make sure that the Nest Thermostat works with your system: https://store.google.com/us/widget/compatibility/thermostat

      If you’re willing to give this another go, we’d like to find out what went wrong and we suggest getting in touch with our specialists here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Figuring it Out, but Good!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I wasn't involved in the install, so getting everything set up on my phone so I had access was a little frustrating, but I got it figured out. You definitely want to be there while it's getting installed and make sure you get access right away. One of the ones I got as low battery immediately upon installing it, which was also frustrating but a quick fix. The eco and sleep features on it are nice, but they seem to auto-heat to what I think is a pretty cold temperature, but we'll see how it goes after having them installed for a month or so. My hope is that we can lower our energy bill and still provide a good customer experience in our restaurant.

Ensuring immediate access during installation is indeed crucial, and it's great to hear that you were able to figure it out. appreciate your patience in resolving the low battery issue promptly. Technical hiccups can be frustrating, but it's great that you found a quick fix. We wanted to know more of your concern to provide the best solution possible.

    Works as advertised. It cost me less than $60 with Oncor discount code. I give it five stars overall because I saved money buying it and now I'll save money on energy consumption. It won't learn like the other one but it will have schedules that you customize to your preference.

    A must have for any home

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have this and use it in conjunction with the more expensive "learning" thermostat. Why do I have two different ones? Because they were both the last one's on the shelf. My first time using this was in my last apartment. Due to it's "smart" capabilities, which help reduce energy usage from your heating and air system, it essentially pays for itself within the first month's usage. Now in my newly bought house, I had to change out from the old school thermostat back to this one. At first, I was gonna be cheap and just keep the old ones; however, I end up paying for it in the result of high electric bill. I quickly went to the store and got this one (along with the learning thermostat), and have noticed immediate results. I expect buying this will pay for itself within the next month or two.

    Works Great, but needed a C-Wire

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Well, I wanted to upgrade my thermostat for remote control capabilities. While it said it doesn't require a C-wire, but in my case I still needed one and my older system didn't have it or a way to add one. For those with the same issue, I fixed mine with a C-wire transformer that only takes a few minutes to plug up with an outlet. So there is is a way to make it work. After that, it's running great and I am very happy with the upgrade. Before you make this purchase, you need to check with your existing system and understand what it will take to make it work with this Nest. Even though Google's compatibility check passed me, I still needed to add a C-wire to make it work properly. If all else ask your HVAC guy if you're able to use this.

    I bought 3 of these Nest Thermostats and I love them. Some people may not like that the mirrored surface picks up fingerprints which looks bad/needs to be cleaned often. But I use my phone to control them and love being able to adjust/view temperatures and usage. My townhouse has 3 floors and the temps vary a lot by floor, so the data is helpful. I'm glad I did not get the "Learning Thermostat" version. This one is perfect

    So far i’m loving this thermostat. Installation instructions was easy to understand which made the actual setup a breeze. had it up and running in no time. i’m enjoying not having to walk all the way on the other side of the house to adjust the temp. No issues with it so far.
