Not as good as other thermostats.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation is easy. Configuring in Google Home seems to be easy. However it just disconnected from the app and I had to configure again. It got disconnected again. Also the touch is not so smooth and consistent. Felt difficult to navigate to different menu options.

Posted .Hi Krishna, thanks for trying out the new Nest Thermostat. Sorry to hear that you’re experiencing connectivity issues and the touch bar experience was difficult.
If you don't mind, you can try resetting your thermostat's Wi-Fi settings by following the step below:
Keep in mind, you’ll need to remove your thermostat from your account in the Home app and then set it up again. You’ll be able to skip the installation process and much of the setup steps:
- In the Home app, tap your thermostat on the home screen.
- Select Settings > Remove.
- On your thermostat, go to Settings > Account > Disconnect.
- In the Home app, tap + at the top left of the home screen.
- Then select Set up a Nest product.
- Begin thermostat setup by scanning the QR code on the back of the thermostat display.
- When you reach the Get started screen, select Already installed.
- You can then skip most of the usual setup steps until you reach the Wi-Fi setup step. Here you can enter the new password and network name.
We always appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our products and services. If you have any questions or concerns with your Google Nest products, please feel free to get in touch with us on the Google Nest Help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

A step back from previous Nest Thermostats
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not work with the Nest app (where I have all my other Nest hardware). Only works on Google Home app - returning it to the store. Also, it's not learning, it's a scheduled thermostat which seems dumbed down from previous generations of the Nest Thermostat. Pass.

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";\

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to return! Kept getting error from app stating nest was offline, even after contacting google for help, it didn’t work. I was able to adjust temp from the nest itself just not from the app, which defeats the purpose of a smart thermostat to me.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought I would love this thing... and when it actually connects to google home it is great, but sadly it only stays connected to the internet for about 20 minutes after restarting it... making the entire thing pointless, because even when your on the same network you cant access it.

Connectivity issues for Nest Thermostat may be caused by several factors, such as Wi-Fi network congestion, distance of the device from the router, wireless interference with other Wi-Fi hotspots or devices nearby, and other Wi-FI settings.
Dual band connection is compatible with Nest Thermostat. 2.4Ghz is more stable compared to 5Ghz, especially if there are lots of devices connected to the network at the same time.

NOT USER FRIENDLY
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the cheaper Nest model and it clearly operates that way. I purchased this for a grandparent and it was complicated for me to even set the temperature. I would not recommend this unless you are trying to save money. The more expensive Nest is well worth it.
