    Many different websites say that this thermostat is compatible with a two-wire (no “c” or “common” wire) system. I think it WAS. At a time when you set it up electronically through the Nest app. There are several videos online which show you how to do it (the installation, not the setup on the app). HOWEVER...the QR code now forces you to use the Google Home app. This app will not allow for a full and successful setup without a c-wire. Once I realized this, a quick search online reveals the same thing. Further investigation reveals that having no c-wire causes problems with the batteries charging leading to more serious problems. Unless you already have a C-wire system (or equivalent), or just really want to rip up your walls to run a c-wire, I would NOT recommend this product.

      Hi RealNYCOpinion,

      We appreciate your feedback. We´re sorry to hear of your disappointment with the new Nest Thermostat.

      Nest thermostats can charge their built-in battery using your system’s heating and cooling wires. But, when your heating and cooling wires are not able to deliver the needed power for your Nest thermostat, you may need to connect a common or C wire. It helps deliver enough consistent power to your thermostat. Learn more about Common wire here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9251212

      If you'd like us to have a look at the issue, then you may reach out to us. We'd be happy to assist you and work on improving your experience with your new Nest Thermostat here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    The customization for temps and the timing is great, and so is being able to control it from anywhere is helpful. Set up was kind of a huge pain…install is easy but getting it connected to the internet was awful.

      Hi Logan, it's great that you liked the customization and control for your Nest Thermostat. We´re sorry for any inconvenience you may have had setting it up and connecting it to your Wi-Fi network.

      While Wi-Fi connectivity issue may be caused by several reasons, here are a couple troubleshooting suggestions that may be helpful with the connectivity issue:
      1. Make sure your home Wi-Fi is working.
      2. Check the status of the Nest service.
      3. Check that you have the latest version of the Home app.
      4. Restart your Nest Thermostat.
      5. Restart your router.
      6. Check for interference.
      7. Reset your thermostat's connection.

      Alternatively, you can reach out to us at Google Nest Support page for us to take a closer look at the issue here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I checked to make sure that these thermostats were compatable with my 24V wiring and after installation it did not work with Wi-Fi. Spoke with customer service and they advised the thermostats needed to be connected to a power source. Purchased two and still did not work. After almost an hour with customer service we removed the thermostats and will be returning them. Also these thermostats look like they are white front but they are mirrored.

      Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We regret to hear about the unsuccessful installation of your Nest Thermostat.

      Nest Thermostat works with most 24V heating and cooling systems, including furnaces, air conditioners, boilers, and heat pumps with either forced air or radiant delivery that has a maximum of 6 wires. We may be looking for possible incompatibility of Nest Thermostat with your HVAC unit. If you haven’t yet, we suggest to check the compatibility of your system using our compatibility checker: https://store.google.com/us/widget/compatibility/thermostat

      If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to us again anytime. We’d be more than happy to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
