    The Nest did not work for me but it was only because of incompatibility with my furnace.

    Grabbed this just to have some automation for my heating and air. Set up was easy as well as the install. Device is very easy to use but I do have one complaint. Sometimes the rotuines do not work in the google home app. That is more a fault with google and not the device its self but it causes some minor inconviences.

      Hi Jburch, thanks for sharing a review with us, and for trying out the Nest Thermostat. It’s unfortunate to hear that the routines sometimes don’t work, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience it has caused you.

      The starters and actions available for a Routine depend on the type of Routine, connected devices, settings, and other limitations. Not all devices can be used as starters so make sure you add the device to the home you want to create a Routine for. And please note that you can only use some devices as a starter. Make sure you add the device to the home you're creating a Routine for.

      Also, Routines are only available in select regions and languages. To use Routines in a supported region, switch your phone's default language to a supported language in that region. On most phones, you can change the language in the phone's Settings app. For more detailed instructions, check with your phone's manufacturer. The Google Home app may take up to 12 hours to update after you change the language. Learn more about the routines using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7029585

      Or if further assistance is required, let us know by contacting us at the following link and we’ll do our best to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp 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

    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.
