    Old Nest Thermostat is way better. The google app is horrible and wants to link your personal accounts into one account. I just want to control my thermostat. I will be returning this and getting a different thermostat.

      Hi Jamie, thanks for sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Thermostat, and we’re sorry to hear that it was not ideal for you.

      Using the Google Home app provides you with a lot of benefits including access to Google's trusted security platform and access to other Google tools and with seamless integration with other Google devices. We chose to transition to the Home app because this app is designed for the future of the smart home, a single place to set up, manage, automate, and control your home. Most home devices are controlled across multiple apps, but we’re working on making the Google Home app the central controller across all your home devices, including Google devices and devices from other brands.

      Here are some other benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Thermostat:
      - Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
      - You can use voice commands on your speaker or display to override a lock temperature.
      - One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
      - Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.

      We understand your decision to return your thermostat, but if you’d like to consider using it or to try it again in the future, we’d be happy to help and guide you with using it effectively in the Home app. You’ll find us always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      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
