Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi AkBus,

Oh no! We´re truly sorry to hear that your system needs a common (C) wire in order to work with Nest Thermostat.

Nest thermostats are designed to be able to work efficiently without the need of a power or common (C) wire when the heating and cooling wires of your system can deliver enough power to keep the thermostat's battery charged up. However, some heating/cooling wires can't deliver adequate power to Nest thermostats. In such cases, Nest thermostats need a common (C) wire that goes into the C terminal of the thermostat base. The next best step would be to contact a Nest Pro technician to check your system and install a common (C) wire if needed.

Hi JayR, thank you for sending in your feedback. We're sorry to learn that you're experiencing some difficulties with your Nest Thermostat when it comes to automatic changes to your temperature. We recommend checking the temperature schedules that are set on your thermostat and removing them. This may help in keeping and holding the temperature to the specific degree you set it on. To remove a temperature schedule you can follow the steps below:

While viewing your thermostat’s schedule:
-Tap the day of the week that has the temperature you’d like to remove.
-Select the temperature you want to remove.
-Tap Delete. The temperature will be removed from the schedule for that day.

- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.

Hi Krishna, thanks for trying out the new Nest Thermostat. Sorry to hear that you’re experiencing connectivity issues and the touch bar experience was difficult.

If you don't mind, you can try resetting your thermostat's Wi-Fi settings by following the step below:

Keep in mind, you’ll need to remove your thermostat from your account in the Home app and then set it up again. You’ll be able to skip the installation process and much of the setup steps:

- In the Home app, tap your thermostat on the home screen.
- Select Settings > Remove.
- On your thermostat, go to Settings > Account > Disconnect.
- In the Home app, tap + at the top left of the home screen.
- Then select Set up a Nest product.
- Begin thermostat setup by scanning the QR code on the back of the thermostat display.
- When you reach the Get started screen, select Already installed.
- You can then skip most of the usual setup steps until you reach the Wi-Fi setup step. Here you can enter the new password and network name.

We always appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our products and services. If you have any questions or concerns with your Google Nest products, please feel free to get in touch with us on the Google Nest Help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Hey there, BulentA. We’re sorry to hear you came across this issue with the Nest Thermostat. This device uses the voltage from your system’s wires to keep its internal battery charged. If the power from your system is insufficient, the thermostat will run off the batteries for a while before it must turn off completely. But if you repeatedly get low battery messages from your thermostat, or if there’s another power-related message, you may need to check the C wire connection or install a C wire to provide consistent power to your thermostat and prevent the internal batteries from draining.

We can help you check for other reasons why the thermostat is behaving differently. We welcome you to visit us anytime using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp";\
