      Hi Yoooooo, thanks for sharing some details of your issue with using the Nest Thermostat and we’re sorry to learn that it’s no longer working after a few months of usage. This is not the experience we want you to have. If your Nest Thermostat won’t turn on, the batteries could have drained or there could be a power issue. We suggest replacing the batteries with high-quality 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries from a known manufacturer. If it’s the latter we’d recommend that you reach out to our support specialists so we can help you with further isolation and troubleshooting here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Like Google Wifi this does not work either. Do not trust any of the positive reviews as this product does not work. It is not compatible with your HVAC and if you do get it connected it won't connect to your wifi. There is no support at all. Do not waste your time and money.

      Hi there,

      Thank you for letting us know of your experience with the new Nest Thermostat. It's so unfortunate to hear you ran into a compatibility issue and you didn't get the help you needed from our support team.

      While the Nest Thermostat is compatible with 85% of HVAC systems and designed to receive the needed power from the heating and cooling wires, some systems like heat-only, or cool-only heat pumps may require a common (C) wire to operate.

      We appreciate your feedback as we're always working to improve our products. If you have any questions or concerns with your Google Nest products, we'd be happy to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi Jamie, thanks for sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Thermostat, and we’re sorry to hear that it was not ideal for you.

      Using the Google Home app provides you with a lot of benefits including access to Google's trusted security platform and access to other Google tools and with seamless integration with other Google devices. We chose to transition to the Home app because this app is designed for the future of the smart home, a single place to set up, manage, automate, and control your home. Most home devices are controlled across multiple apps, but we’re working on making the Google Home app the central controller across all your home devices, including Google devices and devices from other brands.

      Here are some other benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Thermostat:
      - Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
      - You can use voice commands on your speaker or display to override a lock temperature.
      - One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
      - Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.

      We understand your decision to return your thermostat, but if you’d like to consider using it or to try it again in the future, we’d be happy to help and guide you with using it effectively in the Home app. You’ll find us always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi WickedGood, thanks for sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Thermostat, and we’re sorry to hear of your difficult experience with using the touch bar on the side. We designed the thermostats with ease of setup and use, and this is clearly not the kind of user experience we intended to share with you.

      Nest Thermostats don’t have a touch screen but a touch bar on the right side. Also, you can control and manage the thermostat settings using the app even when you’re not at home as long as your thermostat and Home app (phone or tablet) are both online.

      Feedback like this helps us identify areas we can work on, and we’ll pass this along to the right team for future improvements. If you have other support concerns that need to be addressed, simply let us know by visiting us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
