      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 ordered two digital thermostats on 12/2222, but I only got one. It was terrible! I was really disappointed because I really needed to receive these items together and on time.

    Figuring it Out, but Good!

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

    I wasn't involved in the install, so getting everything set up on my phone so I had access was a little frustrating, but I got it figured out. You definitely want to be there while it's getting installed and make sure you get access right away. One of the ones I got as low battery immediately upon installing it, which was also frustrating but a quick fix. The eco and sleep features on it are nice, but they seem to auto-heat to what I think is a pretty cold temperature, but we'll see how it goes after having them installed for a month or so. My hope is that we can lower our energy bill and still provide a good customer experience in our restaurant.

      Hey there, Khajaikramuddin. Sorry to see you're having trouble with battery life on the Nest Thermostat. Sometimes you may need a C wire or a Nest Power Connector to keep your thermostat powered or charged. The need for one one may depend on your system — here’s a link to our compatibility checker to see if one is needed: https://store.google.com/intl/en/widget/compatibility/thermostat/ madebygoogle

    Works as advertised. It cost me less than $60 with Oncor discount code. I give it five stars overall because I saved money buying it and now I'll save money on energy consumption. It won't learn like the other one but it will have schedules that you customize to your preference.
