    I don't like this thermostat. It is hard to setup and it is very small. I actually bought a regular thermostat and replaced this after one week.

      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

      Hello there, Essn. Thanks for posting your feedback on the Nest Thermostat. We’re sorry to hear that your experience is less than ideal.

      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, you can control and manage the thermostat settings using the app even when you’re not at home if your thermostat and Home app (phone or tablet) are both online. The thermostat will show offline in the app if it’s not connected to your Wi-Fi, and you won’t be able to manage the thermostat settings using your phone or app. However, you can change the behavior of your Google Nest thermostat in its settings using the thermostat display. You can do things like change the temperature schedule, switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, view technical information, and more. Check this out for more info: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9244728

      If you need help with using the thermostat effectively, feel free to contact us here and we’d be happy to guide you: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi there, we appreciate you for taking the time to share your feedback with us about the Nest Thermostat. We can imagine how difficult it can be if your thermostat stopped working, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience this could have caused.

      Nest thermostats power issues may occur when your system wires can't deliver enough power to keep the thermostats charged up. As a result, they start draining the batteries and disconnect from your Wi-Fi and sometimes. Poor Wi-Fi connectivity can also cause the battery to drain faster. Your Nest thermostat uses the voltage from your system’s wires to keep its internal battery charged. If the power to your system is switched off or there’s a blackout, the battery has enough capacity to keep working for a while but will eventually run out. Your thermostat will also turn off features like Wi-Fi to preserve battery life before it must turn off completely.

      Your experience means a lot to us, and we’d like to help you with further isolation and troubleshooting. Please visit us at your own convenience here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I bought 3 of these Nest Thermostats and I love them. Some people may not like that the mirrored surface picks up fingerprints which looks bad/needs to be cleaned often. But I use my phone to control them and love being able to adjust/view temperatures and usage. My townhouse has 3 floors and the temps vary a lot by floor, so the data is helpful. I'm glad I did not get the "Learning Thermostat" version. This one is perfect

    I just got this thermostat from Best Buy today. It no longer works with Nest of Alexa. It only works with Google Home. Buyer beware of updated compatibility. It it very easy to install and it looks sleek. If you have Alexa like I do, you won’t be able to integrate it, but you can control it from a mobile device, or set it on a timed schedule like I did.

      Hi CatO, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We do apologize that your Nest Thermostat isn’t working with your Alexa.

      The new Nest Thermostat is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your Nest devices can be set up and controlled in one place.

      We value your feedback as we are always working to improve our products and services. If you need assistance, feel free to contact our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
