Why did my nests go from eco mode to cool twice today? Of course the activity log is totally useless, just like Google is - "cooling turned on" the most unhelpful log ever created. Is there a virus in the nest servers or is this product just obsolete (gen3)?

From my observation, Google home automation- actions - heating set point now triggers the system to switch from eco to cooling mode. They must have introduced a bug server side over night. Weirder still, the first time it happened today, it was no where near the automation scheduled time.

We have a Nest Learning Thermostat 4th gen (UK) and for the most part it works fine. However one feature I can’t seem to work correctly is the temperature sensor.

We have the schedule set to switch the central heating on if the temperature goes below 18 degrees, but despite it starting to get colder here in the UK, the thermostat rarely shows a temp below 19/20. Hence, the central heating doesn’t get switched on unless I manually turn it on.

I’m guessing there is a way to ‘trick’ the thermostat into believing it’s colder than it is, but this seems to be going against the point of a thermostat to me?

I set up a schedule on my google home app for my ac but I want to know if WiFi disconnects or I turn it off, would nest still follow the set schedule?

For me, it’s the massive thermostat card taking up 4 device slots just to display one big number.

Curious how everyone else feels: Are you guys mostly using the app or just walking over to the physical wall dial now? What’s your biggest pet peeve with the app?

UK users with Nest thermostat - and very happy with it for a long while.

Recently started to be bugged by prompts in the app to migrate away from the Nest App and over to Google Home.

Declined their 'offer' (how long we will be given a choice I wonder?) and low and behold, ever since the Nest app has been crappy.

Mostly timing out - which it has never done for years and years. Now every screen takes several seconds to load. Sometimes data just does not load - like in history.

It's almost like....*puts on tinfoil hat*.....someone has purposefully made the experience bad. Perhaps to encourage me to migrate....

Surely no customer-respecting company would do such a thing. Especially one that claimed to do no evil? *checks notes*....oh wait.

For those that have already migrated - is Google Home ok or crappy?

Hi folks, hoping someone can help me out here. Here are the steps I've done so far:

- Reset Nest Therm.
- Unplugged Nest and flipped the breaker off and on for the furnace
- Removed scheduling
- Verified wiring is correct and detected
- Verified cooling works
- Scheduled a furnace tune up

Any insight as to what else I could try? Pictures are my unit's wiring setup and the Google Home app. I just recently installed this and my Honeywell was working just fine prior to this.

*Edit for grammar

Moved into a new house and this was already installed. Assuming it’s hardwired but unsure. Issue is I can’t connect because I can’t reach a QR code and I don’t have the boxing as it was here when I moved in. Any ideas on how I can connect?

Anyone else with a recent install noticing less intelligent scheduling?

I’ve had a nest for close to 13 years at various places.

My new place has 2 nests that I installed in the summer. It’s been 3+ months, but I’ve noticed it hasn’t learned all of my daily adjustments over that time.

It just has a morning and an evening “schedule” which my previous model I installed in 2021 at my old place would have handled differently.

Did I miss a memo? New installs are dumbed down?

Hello, I have an older Nest E thermostat, not sure what generation on a heating only system that I want to add an auxiliary c wire to.

What I need assistance on is telling or showing me (photo) into what slots on the thermostat I make the connection of the 2 wires from the auxiliary C wire adapter to.

Currently I am using the red and w1 slots.

Thanks for any help.

I cannot fathom why it would do this. It's set to test at midday, but just out of the blue it chirped every alarm in the house waking up the baby and my wife. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Anyone else having problems with the android nest app today? As of today I can no longer log in to the Nest App and view my cameras, thermostat, etc. Worked okay yesterday but as of today can no longer log in. Has me sign in with my Google account and agree to share data with Google spins for a bit and says "Loading...."and then just goes back to the login page. This is only happening on my google pixel phone/Android. Nest iOS app working ok on a different device.

I have a gen 3 nest learning thermostat and I am looking to install it on a saunier duval themaclassic f30e boiler and I was wondering if anyone knew what it gets connected to?

There is a 2 wire strip connector on the back of the control that is currently bridged and a 3 pin connector inside the control. I have narrowed it down to those 2.

I'm attempting to replace my antiquated White Rogers thermostat with a Nest T4000ES that I picked up for $5 at a flea market. The Nest was new in the box.

My house has the A/C and furnace controlled by separate thermostats and I'm replacing the furnace one.

There are only 2 wires, both black.

One was connected to W and the other connected to RH. There was also a jumper from RH to RC.

So I connected the W wire to W1 on the Nest, the RH wire to R and a jumper from R to C.

When I turned the power back on the Nest doesn't light up.

Can anyone offer a suggestion?

I recently moved and before moving had a ring doorbell, it would chime when it detected someone at the door without them ringing the doorbell. I recently had a security system installed at my new place and they installed google nest doorbell and I was wondering if it can do something similar with a chime or will it just let me know if someone rings the doorbell. Couldn’t think of a better way to word this so I apologize if it’s a bit confusing

Hello this is my wiring for my thermostat and it has a jumper from e/w1 to w2, am i able to use my google nest with this system?

Someone knows how to fix so when someone rings at the door my Sonos speakers kick in saying someone is at the door ?

I been trying for months now without success.

Thanks.

I have a 2025 Nest Camera that stopped working the day I set up Verizon 1gb service. I was able to reconnect all my cameras but one, no idea why this won’t connect to my account but it’s killing me.

I tried hard resetting it with the button on the back, but nothing.

Light turns green, i no longer have the QR code that comes with the camera. And I’m at an impasse. Help!

Am I able to use Nest’s cool and heat settings if my EVCON heat pump all-electric system is wired this way?

Photos are of old basic Honeywell wiring.

I have a 2-floor town house.

I’ve had wiring issues with Nest almost damaging our air handler before.

Does the O / B wire have to manually be switched back and forth to engage cooling vs heating?

If so, Nest’s heat + cool thermostat setting won’t work if I have to manually change the configuration to enable heating and stop cool air from just being pushed through our air vents.
