    The worst tech experience I have ever had

    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.

    Love being able to program my thermostat and the app feature is super convenient. I can lower my heat when I’m leaving the house and turn it back early enough before I return that it’s toasty when I get back.

    This AC thermostat is horrible and unfortunately I can't return it. My previous thermostat would allow me to either turn the fan completely off or have the fan on auto. This thermostat has no option for the fan to run on auto. It's supposed to also have an option to turn the fan off completely and run it intermittently, but even though I've followed the instruction in doing this, it still runs constantly. Since it's running all the time, my electric bill has gone up so high. It was an open box purchase, but it was labeled as "EXECELLENT CONDITION". These open box items should have a longer return time frame because in my case, I was not aware that there was a problem and a defect until I could have my AC contractor verify this.

      Hey there, KayeT. Sorry to hear you’re having problems with Nest Thermostat running your fan constantly. This could mean there is something happening with your wire in the thermostat’s G terminal as this is where fan control happens — we’d like to investigate and see what may be causing this. We’re ready to help 24/7: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp? madebygoogle

      Hi KBShah, thanks for letting us know about the issue. It's unfortunate that you're experiencing connectivity issues with your Nest Thermostat even after getting a replacement. We apologize for having fallen short of helping you with your support concern.

      If you've already received a replacement Nest Thermostat and the issue is still persistent, the issue is most likely power related. There are a small number of situations, where your system may not be able to deliver enough power causing the battery of your Nest Thermostat to drain, and even cause the Wi-Fi chip to fail connection with your network. This may happen since Nest Thermostats get power from your system’s heating and cooling wires. In these cases, you may need to contact a Nest Pro technician to check your system´s wiring and connect a common or C wire to deliver enough consistent power to your thermostat.

      If you need further help in changing some settings for your Nest Thermostat, you may visit our Google Nest help page where you can find detailed guides on how to make the most out of your Nest Thermostat using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/topic/9361969

    My only complaint is that I did not know about this sooner! Especially with the rebates available in many states (cost ~$50 here in Massachusetts with an instant rebate when purchased through BestBuy).
