    Very disappointed -- unable to link with my original Nest thermostat (which I liked just fine!). Because now it is Goggle Nest. My installer couldn't figure it out either

      Hi there, JillL. We appreciate your feedback on the Nest Thermostat. We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy using the Nest devices from the Nest app. However, the Nest Thermostat is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest devices. We also wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Other benefits include the following:
      - 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.
      - Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.

      Our dedicated team is always ready to provide you with services and assistance for any concerns you may have here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Does not work with the Nest app (where I have all my other Nest hardware). Only works on Google Home app - returning it to the store. Also, it's not learning, it's a scheduled thermostat which seems dumbed down from previous generations of the Nest Thermostat. Pass.

    Had to return! Kept getting error from app stating nest was offline, even after contacting google for help, it didn’t work. I was able to adjust temp from the nest itself just not from the app, which defeats the purpose of a smart thermostat to me.

      Hi KJacob, thanks for letting us know about the issue. We are sorry to hear about the connectivity issue with Nest Thermostat, and that you had to return it.

      Connectivity issues for Nest Thermostat may be caused by several reasons such as Wi-Fi network congestion, distance of the device from the router, wireless interference with other Wi-Fi hotspots or devices nearby and other Wi-Fi settings. Also, if the system is not giving enough power to thermostat to charge

      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";\ Nest

    This is the cheaper Nest model and it clearly operates that way. I purchased this for a grandparent and it was complicated for me to even set the temperature. I would not recommend this unless you are trying to save money. The more expensive Nest is well worth it.

    I purchased this thermostat so I could see the temperature in my house when I was not home and adjust it on my phone. I usually set the temperature very high when I go out so that the HVAC doesn't turn on, around 90 degrees. This will sound unbelievable, but this thermostat will not allow a person to set the temperature in thier home to a certain level when they go out. When your phone is not there, it will automatically put the temperature to 83 degrees and I am told you cannot disable this feature! You can set the thermostat to HOLD your set temperature for 24 hours only when you are gone. I called Nest support twice on this issue and was told that this auto feature cannot be disabled.

      Hi there JSGG, thanks for letting us know your experience with your Nest Thermostat and we’re sorry for falling short of your support needs. The Nest Thermostat has different ways, in the Home app or on the thermostat, to manage temperature control for your home. When you set your Nest Thermostat to hold the temperature, it will maintain that specific temperature for as long as you want. But please note that you must end the current hold first before you can start a new hold to change the hold settings.
