      Hey there, JefferyR. Thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Thermostat. We're sorry to hear that the Google Home app fell short of meeting your expectations. We understand that long time Nest users, like you, have enjoyed using the Nest app. However, we wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Google Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant.

      We'd like to hear more about your experience with the Google Home app. Sharing the details of your feedback will certainly help us further improve our products and the features we offer.

    Unreliable

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

    This possibly is the worst product on the market. When it works its great. Problem is that it goes offline every other day making it a dumb thermostat. You need it connected to the web to make it useful. Its so unreliable that I can’t recommend it.

      Hi there, Fred. Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that your Nest Thermostat goes offline.

      We suggest trying out some troubleshooting steps below that may be helpful with the connectivity issue:
      - Ensure that your mobile phone, where the Home app is installed, is either connected to your Wi-Fi network, or that the mobile data is enabled.
      - Try installing the Nest/Home app on another mobile phone or tablet device and login using the same Google account as your Nest Thermostat.
      - Check for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue.
      - You may also check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home.

      If none of the steps we provided prove to be helpful, we recommend contacting our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation via this help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Hope you don't like to choose your own temp!!!

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

    HATE IT!!!! It automatically changes the temperature to whatever the heck it wants whenever it wants and you don't know until you are uncomfortable. I have set a schedule for the temp for every single day of the week, turned off presence detection and everything but still it changes randomly. This is the worst smart thermostat I've ever owned.

    NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEST TEMPERATURE SENSORS

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

    Great looking thermostat and does what it says. Beware though of the generic branding as this is NOT compatible with the Nest Temperature Sensors as it will not connect with the Nest app which I think is super misleading. It only is set up with the Google Home app.

      Hi Dakota1845, thanks for posting your feedback. We apologize if you’re unable to add your Nest Thermostat on Nest app, and connect with Nest Temperature Sensor.

      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

    Poor Internet Stability

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

    I wanted to like this thermostat, but after much communications with Nest and even getting a replacement, the device will not stay connected to the internet. It loses connection after hours and will not return until you reset it.

Since the issue still persists even with the replacement unit, we’d like to have a closer look into this and learn how we can help improve your experience. Please share with us your recent case number so we can continue our investigation, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    It tries to do fancy things, but it is made of cheap components that break and make it bad at being either a smart or dumb thermostat.

    Very disappointed. Ready to put it back in the box and return it. Other than the good looks this device is a total junk. Impossible to set constantly having to close the app and reopen it in order to get an accurate reading.

    Not to easy to use and confusing :(

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

    Not crazy about this fancy thermostat. I thought it was going be be great. 1. Said it would work with my wires and did not, had to pay more for a module. 2. Manual mode is not easy. Can't set hold for a specific temp, or choose comfort mode only eco. 3. Big hole in wall? Extra cost for backing plate. 4. Google home took a very long time to connect to. 5. Can use Google assistant to control the Google home thermostat function! 6. You cannot set it at a specific temperature hold, all has to be pre-programmed. Let's say your elderly Grandma's coming over and you want to warm up the house for 2 hours exactly while you were at the grocery store you can't set it for a certain temperature for 2 hours. Very dumb You would have to manually set the temperature up and then remember when it gets 2 hours to then turn it down. Not so smart thermostat. Then on top of that I was supposed to get these magical rebates from the electric company but when I registered device I said oh gosh at your house and your unit is not registerable for these extra awards. Hints for everyone: contact your electric company first and buy the thermostat through their link and not directly through a company that way you get the rebate I lost my $80 rebate because of this.

      Hi SteveM, thanks for trying out Nest Thermostat. We appreciate that you had great expectations with it. However, we apologize for any disappointment you may be having with the points you shared with us. Other than using the Nest Thermostat display, we also recommend using the Google Home app to control and manage all the features. You can easily change temperatures using a compatible Android or iOS mobile phone or tablet device, even when you're not at home, as long both your Nest Thermostat and your mobile device are connected to the Internet.

      We're glad to hear that you were able to control your Nest Thermostat using your voice commands with the Google Assistant. For additional commands that you can use, we recommend trying out the voice commands listed on this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9325085

      It's possible to set a hold temperature with the Nest Thermostat, for as long as you want. Here are the steps you can follow to set it up:
      - Open the Home app > and then touch and hold your thermostat's tile.
      - Make sure your thermostat is in Heat, Cool, or Heat • Cool mode before you try to start a temperature hold.
      - Tap Hold temperature Hold temperature.
      - Select the Current temp or the temperature preset you want your thermostat to hold.
      Note: If the temperature you want doesn't appear, change your thermostat's current temperature to the one you want to hold. When you reopen the hold temperature settings, you'll be able to select the temperature you've just set.
      - Select the end time you want the temperature to hold for.
      - Note: If you're using the Eco preset, you can also choose None to hold the temperature indefinitely until you end the hold. For other presets, your thermostat can hold the temperature for up to 24 hours.
      - Tap Start to begin the temperature hold.
      Note: If you want to make changes to the temperature but there's a hold on the temperature, the app or thermostat will tell you that you need to end the hold first.

      We understand that you may still have some questions in mind, and our support team would be happy to answer them and even walk you through some of the features. Please feel free to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
