Product is advertised as easy self install. It is not even close. I have a simple 2 wire heat only thermostat and the nest could not handle it. It forced me to order (at no charge) a nest power conn actor which was not really an owner install product, I returned it and got a simple Honeywell which was a breeze.

I am not able to program it to my Google phone, it is telling me I cannot continue to set up because the system does not have a C wire connected. We don't have air conditioning so therefore, this device is useless for connecting with a phone in order to be able to control it when not home.

Hi there, ELIZABETH. Thank you for sharing your review on Nest Thermostat. We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some difficulties with completing the set up. In most cases, your device uses your system's heating and cooling wires to get consistent power. But there are times where you may need a C wire or a power accessory like the Nest Power Connector to make your system compatible. We recommend reaching out to our team of specialists so we can help you in identifying the compatibility of the device with your system. If it is, we can proceed with completing the set up and help you in controlling your Nest Thermostat using the Google Home app on your smartphone. Please contact us on our Google Help page for immediate support: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

Hello there! Thanks for sharing a review about the Nest Thermostat, and we’re sorry to hear that it keeps shutting off. There’s a possibility that your thermostat is not receiving power from your HVAC system, like when the thermostat wiring is incorrect or if your thermostat is connected to a system that requires a C or common wire, but that wire isn’t connected. That said, we’d like to investigate for other reasons why the thermostat is behaving differently. Please contact our dedicated team for troubleshooting guidance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

The product was good. Only a partial install as it was not set up to work with Alexa. I had to do that myself. Lastly, the $230 per hour was outrageous. I can promise I would never do that again.

    Nest thermostats working perfectly so far. Trim kit covered my old thermostat box perfectly and the Nest thermostat fits snugly and securely into the provided hardware. Good design.

    Hey there, Jv. We appreciate your feedback on the Nest Thermostat. The Nest Thermostat works with most 24 volt heating and cooling systems. However, we recommend checking the wire labels on your system first, and you can use the Compatibility Checker tool here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9246656

    IMHO Not quite as good as the older thermostats
    I got this to run the 220V heater that I just installed in my garage. This makes a total of 5 Google thermostats in my house and shops. The oldest is 7 years old and still running perfectly. I have 2 learning thermostats, 2 Nest-E thermostats and now 1 of these latest models. The touch ring on this lstest model is a bit more cumbersome than the other 2 models, but it was still an easy setup. All I had to add was a 220V controller wirh a built-in 24V transformer. I have a total of three of these setups. They all work flawlessly.

      I installed the thermostat, after several attempts, the unit would not connect with my smart phone and Google Home. Because there was no one I talk with to trouble shoot the problem, I removed the thermostat, reinstalled the old one, and returned the Google nest back to Home Depot. I would not buy one of these products. Too many glitches and problems with the whole google and wifi thing. It was a hassle to remove the old thermostat, instaIl the next, and then put the old thermostat back i place. I am sure there are better products out there.

        horrible!
        I had a traditional honeywell thermostat in my new home and wanted a new wifi connection device. People recommended google nest. I had it for 3 weeks and unable to get cold air. Been playing around with it on wires and still no success. Returing it and getting one recommended by a professional who came to my house to fix a busted fuse after i tried to connect one last time

          I would prefer for it to be lit up all the time so I can read temp from the couch. I also would like for it to show outside temp but doesn’t have that feature. Nothing impressive about it except you can operate from your phone if needed. Pretty basic better minimum.

          Hi there, Jess S. Unfortunately, the "always on" display feature isn't available on the Nest Thermostat to conserve power. On the other hand, the outside temperature is already displayed on the main screen by default. It appears as temperature information right above the indoor temperature when you access the main screen menu of your Nest Thermostat display. To ensure accuracy, please verify that your registered home location in the Home app is correct. If you need to edit your home location, please refer to the guide provided here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7551013

          It was easy to install but in a couple occasions the AC was off and wasn’t even at the set temperature. Then I would refresh the app and the AC would start up again. So I constantly have to monitor it.

          Worthless scam product
          Same situation as others; nest learning tstat broke so I bought this one and it's worse than any other tstat on the market. Total waste of money meant to prey on people who don't want to fork over money for the better one. Even though the better one will die in 3-5 years. No HVAC tech could recommend a product that doesn't even last 5 years.

            Caused our AC Contactor to fail 4x in 4 months
            We have a dual-zone system by carrier with a 24v controller w/ c wire. When we purchased the house there were basic non-wifi thermostats installed. After installing the nest thermostats and powering them with the c wire, there was a voltage disparity. The AC contactor was only seeing about 18v instead of the spec 24v. The end result was a chattering AC Contactor which caused it to fail several times before we removed the nest thermostats altogether and the problem stopped.
