Great product so far and very easy to set up. I would recommend getting the plate that does not come with this piece to cover up old holes.

Hi there, HomeDepotCustomer. Thanks for sharing your feedback about the Nest Thermostat. We're sorry to hear that your experience with the device didn't meet your expectations. Most 24V heating and cooling systems, including all common fuel types like natural gas, oil, and electricity are compatible with Nest thermostats and would generally work without a common (C) wire. However, there are some systems that would require a C wire. And sometimes, you may need to connect a power accessory like the Nest Power Connector to make your system compatible. Either one will provide a stable power source for your Nest thermostat when your system can’t deliver enough consistent power to it. We recommend checking your system’s compatibility with our online Compatibility Checker: https://store.google.com/intl/us/widget/compatibility/thermostat/

If help is still needed, or for anything that needs an immediate support, don’t hesitate to let us know by visiting us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

Thermostat was easy to install and easy to program.

Easy to install in place of a 15 year old manually programmable thermostat. Definitely understand the wiring to the old thermostat to make sure the Nest will install with the same wiring. The Nest installation process is very step by step and easy to understand and follow. Everything worked first time.

All I wanted to do was to replace my nest thermostat, but this particular one does not work. I need a Google nest power connector or see wire so pretty useless unless I get a lot of technical worked on.

    Setup was difficult. I had to run 24v power to the unit as I was replacing a stat that only had two wires. For me this meant installing a 3 conductor cable from my Taco zone controller (I have a boiler with 3 zones/pumps) which was capable of supplying 24v. I was also challenged as my tstat location did not have a good wifi connection and this is required in order to perform the setup. This was not obvious to me since all my other devices have good wifi signal/connection….. but once I established a good wifi connection, install was easy. I have been using the unit for a couple weeks now. It is performing well and I enjoy being able to remotely change temperatures and monitor how long the pump serving each zone runs.

    Cannot set up with app! Horrible. 1st thermostat was defective. Had to drive back to exchange it. I need help with this app. I have Google Home and already use it with my Google Home Speaker. Cannot get this thermostat connected. Please help. There is no customer service # that I see. I've had to have my electrician come over 4 x already

    Throw in pool or drive over?
    We got this because the learning one is twice the price and we don't need the learning function. The spinning ring on the learning one is so superior to this hunk. We want to toss it in the pool or maybe toss it on the gravel driveway and repeatedly drive over it. The control by sliding your finger over the right side is absurd, we HATE it. Really cannot tell how incredibly horrible it is. Replacing this mistake ASAP. The designer we decided should be tossed in the ocean and fed to the sharks.

      Looks nice, easy setup, works.
      Fairly easy to install. Looks nice. We don't use the google home app as much as i thought we would to adjust it but really helpful we could setup eco temps and such. Like that it can recognize when we arent home througb device presence or motion and adjusts temperature accordingly. Same with having it lower at night.

      Don't do it
      Hahaha . Lol . Jejeje . Don't do it if you enjoy living in a comfortable home without the dictates of big brother. These override your program and reset to their temperature settings.

      Hi there, RTWhoutx. Thanks for letting us know of your experience with the Nest Learning Thermostat. We can imagine the inconvenience this issue could have caused you.

      When you manually adjust the temperature, the temperature will stick until the next scheduled temperature change. With a temperature preset, you can easily set a specific temperature that you repeatedly use a bit faster than manually adjusting the temperature dial. Besides using ready-made presets like Comfort, Eco, and Sleep, you can create custom presets. This is helpful for other times you might like a specific temperature that’s not included in your thermostat’s existing presets. Check this link to learn more: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10178773

      If you want to make changes to the temperature but there’s a hold, the app or thermostat will tell you that you need to end the hold first. And if you want to set your thermostat on temperature hold to maintain specific temperature for as long as you want, please see the steps below:
      - In the Menu view, select Hold temperature.
      - Select Current temp or Eco.
      - Choose a time. You can scroll up and down to edit the time by half-hour blocks. If you’re using the Eco preset, you can also choose “None” to hold the temperature indefinitely until you end the hold. For other presets, your thermostat can hold the temperature for up to 24 hours.
      - Select Confirm.

      Besides having help articles available at Google Nest Help Center, we also have a dedicated team always ready to provide assistance through our support channels here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
        This is a horrible device. They have managed to make setting the temperature in my home a nightmare and the device setup is worse. Every time something doesn’t work right it defaults you to the beginning of the set up process. Please buy something else. And to make matters worse, Home Depot will not exchange it for another product. Only a replacement of the same device.

        Compatibility Checker Not Accurate
        I entered the type of wiring I have into the Nest online compatibility checker and it said it may be compatible. I entered the exact same wiring information into the Home app during the setup process and it said it was incompatible! Get it together Google! What a waste of time.

            Nice Design But........
            The old Nest app, customer service was way better until Google took over. Customer service is clueless, they will basically send what you can find on the internet. Customer service is hard to understand unlike in the past when you got someone from the US in Cali. The Nest app is way better the Google Home App. The Google home app does not allow to you to do what you want. Google App dictates what they want.
