    Works well, the touch panel on the right for setting/holding temp is confusing. I set it in Google home but it did not show up in my nest

      Hi Nitin, we appreciate you for sharing your feedback on Nest Thermostat, and we're sorry to hear it's a difficult experience for you.

      Since the Nest Thermostat doesn't have a touch screen, you can use the touch bar on the right side to control your thermostat. Swipe up to raise the temperature, swipe down to lower it, and tap to confirm. The display will show you how many minutes until your desired temperature is reached. Here’s how:
      - Tap the touch bar to bring up the menu.
      - Swipe up or down to select an option.
      - Tap the touch bar again to confirm your selection.

      Also, the thermostat must be set to Heat, Cool, or Heat • Cool mode to change its temperature. To change the mode, tap Temperature mode Heat Cool mode and select the one you want. Then you can manually adjust the temperature two different ways:
      - Tap and drag the dial clockwise or counter-clockwise to increase or decrease the temperature
      - Tap + or – to increase or decrease the temperature 1° at a time.

      If you’re willing to tell us more about your feedback, you can reach out to our dedicated team at the following link and we’d be happy to work on improving your overall experience: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    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.
