    Buyer Beware

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

    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

    Wastes more money than it saves

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

    Disconnects from Wi-Fi, automatically sets random temperatures even after all automations and schedules have been confirmed to be removed. I have this installed at an Airbnb that sees multiple vacant days per week. I set the temperature to 80°, check the next day, set to 70°. 19 hours of wasted air conditioning usage. This thing is running up my electricity bill more than any applicable in my home could.

    Worst thermostat ever used

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

    This is the worst thermostat I’ve ever had. It lacks 99.9% of desired capabilities including edits to eco mode. This thermostat was only used because it was free with solar setup and my old best learning thermostat had fried. I only used this as an absolute last resort. I will NEVER use this again my life and is being taken to the barn to be smashed with hammer. This is an absolute worthless device and none should ever pay money for this crappy product.

      Hi jerabow, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We regret to hear that you’re having connectivity issues with your Nest Thermostat.

      Connectivity issues can be caused by different factors like location and distance of Nest Mini, Wi-Fi router, outdated phone and Google Home app. This may also be caused by Wi-Fi network congestion and Wi-Fi interference with other devices and/or networks. Removing other devices from your Wi-Fi might help. You can also try setting up your Nest Mini on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more reliable.

      If the issue still persists, we may need to take a closer look in order for us to understand this issue. You can always reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Do Not Buy

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

    I bought two of these to replace both thermostats in my house. Both thermostats started to overheat and read the room temperature above 90 degrees. Not only does this cause the heat not to work but there is a risk of fire hazard. I spent over an hour with Google nest support doing multiple troubleshooting options that didn’t work, only to find out that the warranty recently expired as well and they would not further assist or replace. Expect to buy another thermostat as soon as this warranty expires.

    Stop!!! Do NOT buy this Nest thermostat!

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

    If you’re hoping to control the Google Nest thermostat from your device, don’t look to the Google Nest App. Eventually, it will stop working. My Nest thermostat works but I can no longer control it with my phone. It no longer communicates with the Nest App and Google has no idea how to fix that problem. There are tens of thousands of angry Nest thermostat owners out there experiencing the same problem. Google has shown absolutely no interest in fixing this issue. It is hoping that you will buy all their products once you experience the convenience of controlling their Nest thermostat with your device, but it won’t last. At some point, your device will stop communicating with your thermostat because Google is not doing anything to update their Nest app in any significant way, and the same thing will happen with all your Google products. Buyer, beware!

    Constant Connectivity Problems

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

    The nest thermostats are the most frustrating products I have ever encountered. If the wifi goes out for even a second the device disconnects. As the internet is still working, the device acknowledges that it is connected to the wifi but remains "offline" in the app until being manually restarted. Truly terrible design. Why would it not have been designed to automatically attempt reconnecting? It's insane that you expect people to have to manually restart it anytime there is a blip in the wifi. The nest doorbell is able to handle that just fine but the thermostats are a constant problem.

      Hi Victoria, thanks for giving us time to share your feedback on the Nest Thermostat, and we’re sorry to hear it’s a frustrating experience for you. If you find yourself in need to reconnect your thermostat to your Wi-Fi again, please see the steps below that might help:

      Please note that you’ll need access to your Nest Thermostat to update the network and password. You can’t update Wi-Fi information with the app:
      - Open the Google Home app .
      - Touch and hold your thermostat's tile.
      - Tap Settings > Remove device.
      - On your thermostat, go to Settings > Account > Disconnect.
      - In the Home app , tap the Home icon at the top left of the home screen.
      - Tap Set up device > New device.
      - Choose a home > Select Thermostat (It may specify which thermostat, select Nest Thermostat).
      - Scan the QR code on the back of the thermostat display.
      - When you reach the “Installing your thermostat” screen, tap ""Already installed”.
      - You can then skip most of the usual setup steps until you reach the Wi-Fi setup step. When you get to the Wi-Fi setup step, enter the new password and network name.

      If your network name doesn’t appear in the list of Wi-Fi networks, wait a few minutes while the app scans for networks. If your thermostat still can’t find your new network, go to the following article for more help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9240096

      We’ll share your feedback with the right team for future improvements. And if you come across any concerns with using the thermostat effectively, simply let us know and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
