Do research before you decide to buy. I was looking for a basic, smart thermostat for our cabin so I could monitor the temperature over the winter in the event of heating issues or someone kicking the door in and it freezing inside; and also, because we turn the heat way down while not there, I could turn it back up on the way there and have it already warm when we arrive. As I read reviews on this thermostat, which I kept going back to when I reviewed others, it seemed like most complaints were about needing a “c” wire to the thermostat and Google not disclosing that. I can’t speak to that as I’m not sure it’s absolutely necessary, I knew nothing of wiring a thermostat to a furnace. I went into it though assuming I needed a “c” wire and researched different ways to do it. There were other complaints like displayed temperature inaccuracies, but at the end of the day I went with the basic Google Nest in sand color (looks pink to me). I’m glad I spent the time researching ahead of time and, so far, glad I didn’t listen to the “don’t buy this product” reviews. Does exactly what I want it to do, easy to use, displays perfectly accurate temperature, and was easy to install (again, glad I researched quite a bit and was prepared). Now for my install experience: Just for the record, my cabin furnace is heat only, so I only really needed 2 low voltage wires from the thermostat to the furnace. The existing cable had 3 wires however, one of which (the green one) was not hooked up at either end. FYI, take the advice of the “how to” videos and take a picture of the wire locations on the old thermostat before removing them, and make sure the furnace breaker is off too. The green wire, as I researched, is usually for operating the furnace fan separate from when it’s on for heating or cooling, something I, and probably most people, don’t use. The white and red wires were hooked to their corresponding letter coded (R&W) spaces on the thermostat and furnace. I had purchased a plug-in 24v transformer with a long set of wires, based on my previous research, to use as the “c” wire, which I learned supplies power to the thermostat. I intended on plugging it into a nearby outlet, running the wire alongside some doorframe trim, which would hide the wire, and into the wall behind the new thermostat. This, I think, would have worked just fine. I also learned though, from watching another “how-to” video just before I started the project, that all furnaces have a 24v connection space along with where all the other thermostat wires would go. So I just hooked the unused green wire to the “c”, or 24v, spot on the furnace and to the “c” connector on the Nest thermostat. *The Nest comes with wire identifying stickers and I did label this wire on both ends to indicate it’s now the power wire. Once the wiring was done, turned the breaker back on and followed the install directions from the Google Home app. The only minor issues I had was that the display was in Celsius, not Fahrenheit, and it took me awhile to figure out that this needed to be changed via the phone app, not the thermostat. There may be a way, but I couldn’t figure that out. Also, was a little nervous because of the previous reviews I read when the initial temperature displayed about 4-5 degrees above the actual temperature, but by the time I cleaned everything up, it was right on. In Google’s defense, it did indicate it takes a little bit to adjust itself. Very happy with it and glad I picked this one-so far anyhow.
It works and was a great price with utility rebate. I bought this when it went on sale and also discovered that PG&E offers a $50 rebate. This made it a no brainer to replace the lousy Honeywell thermostat I’ve been wanting to replace for a while.It’s works good, was easy to install, and does a better job than the Honeywell it replaced. No issues with WiFi connection or app servers being flaky or down. I like that it also has trends showing how long it runs during each day, a nice addition would be temperature and humidity trends too.Some things to be aware of:1. Google owns Nest, so this “Nest” thermostat will only work with the Google Home app and not the Nest app. I have another Nest device that only works on the Nest app. It is annoying as I would prefer they work in either one app or the other or have the option to move both into one app, but it’s not world ending. I found the Home app to be just fine, but a couple of things like where to access and edit the schedules could be more intuitive.2. You can remove your existing thermostat, note the way it is wired, and check to make sure this is compatible with what you have on their website before you buy it.3. This will only support 2-stage heat OR 2-stage cooling, not both. If your system has both this isn’t going to provide you with ideal results and I suggest buying something else.4. The installation manual is using the Home app to scan the QR code on the thermostat. It does a decent job stepping through the installation process and will even connect the thermostat to your WiFi for you. However I did run into an issue with the wiring diagram it provided with my 2-stage gas heating, I answered “yes” to “does your thermostat have two sets of labels” or something along those words, and it mismatched the labeling on the 2-stage heat wire. I went back to the question and said “no” and the wire label was then correct. This was more of an annoyance to me, but I could see this potentially causing unnecessary headaches for someone unfamiliar with thermostat wiring.5. Make sure you have the C-wire, or if you don’t have it get the C-wire adapter kit they offer. From some of the reviews if you don’t you’re going to have a bad time. Mine has the C-wire as most newer HVAC units do so wasn’t a concern for me.6. It was actually very easy to add other household members in to allow them access to the thermostat in the Home app and have it track if they are home or not for it to automatically go into Eco Mode if it detects everyone is gone. I haven’t yet enabled this feature so I can’t say how well it works yet.
Very disappointed. I purchased the Google Nest thermostat 16 months ago. I had high hopes for this thermostat. It got top rated reviews and I was hoping for a smooth integration with my Alexa system. The trouble began at installation. I couldn’t get it working. I’m very handy and I enjoy dealing with electrical and electronic systems. I struggled with this thermostat installation until I had to call customer service for assistance. The first technician had me reconnect the wires (incorrectly) and reset the thermostat to no avail. I got handed off to another technician and this one got me to put the wires back and do a factory reset. Anyway, getting the thermostat to actually control my ac system was a “whole thing!” This thermostat would control my system with temperature presets but would lose the connection with Alexa. When this happened none of the schedules could be followed and I had no remote control through my phone or through Alexa or even The Google Home app. When I attempted to connect to the thermostat, Alexa would say; “Living room thermostat is unresponsive. Please check your power supply and your Wi-Fi or router!” None of my other “smart” devices were having problems so these instructions seemed pointless! The connection would usually be lost daily and sometimes the connection lasted for only a few hours. The only way that I could regain control was to physically go to the thermostat, scroll to settings and “Restart” the thermostat. When on vacation, I like to keep my ac running because I have pets and my pet sitters come over twice a day. After I left. The thermostat went to “Eco” because Alexa sensed that we were “Away”. That’s fine but I couldn’t override that because the thermostat was (you guessed it) “Unresponsive!” After 16 months of this I finally decided to do the dreaded “Factory Reset” which I had been avoiding because I would have to start from the beginning on programming. Well, after a while, I finally got it back on line, and was pretty confident that I had fixed it. Four hours later. “The living room thermostat is unresponsive. Please check…” I surfed through the Internet and found that this was not an isolated issue. In fact, I found that Google Customer Service would send a free replacement if their tech support could not resolve the (known) connectivity issue. I then spoke to my son and told him about the possible free replacement. He simply said, “ So you are going to replace the thermostat with the same kind and very possibly still have the same issues?” I didn’t have a response. So I finally decided to purchase an Amazon thermostat. There was no secondary app to install so the connectivity should be seamless. I bought for 18% off on “Prime Days” sale so it was considerably less expensive than the Google Nest. I won’t go into the product review of the Amazon thermostat here. But, I will say that I am very pleased with my new thermostat. I have not lost connectivity since start-up. I regret that it took me way too long to replace the Google Nest with a reliable thermostat. The Google Nest may be a top rated thermostat but in my personal experience, the secondary app created a problem with connectivity with Alexa making it unreliable. Towards the end of my struggles with the Nest, I was “Restarting” it daily and sometimes twice a day. In fact, it would surprise me if Alexa would ever be able to tell me the inside temperature of my home! Hey Google. As for your thermostat replacement offer, Thanks, but NO THANKS!

Doesn’t do more than I want it to do. I bought this to replace a non-smart-but-programmable thermostat that we’ve had for years. The problem with the old one was that it was always popping on to some sort of schedule that I never remembered having programmed, and we couldn’t make it permanently bypass the schedule; I’d reset the temperature and turn scheduling off, but then the next afternoon I’d get home to an 86° house because the schedule had turned off the air conditioner and turned on the heater. So I wasn’t interested in any of the bells and whistles, which is why I didn’t spring extra for the “learning” thermostat. This one looks really cool and only took me a few minutes to install and configure. Plus, I like the idea that I can check or change the temperature from the app on my phone or or even vocally, with any of the three Google assistant speakers in the house.
Good Thermostat, check your furnace board for C wire. This thermostat has been great so far, although it has only been a few days since I have installed it. I had a c wire already, but it had not been connected at the furnace side (photo attached), so no 24v common power was being delivered. Note that it is not required to have a C wire, but if you do have a preexisting one, make sure it is connected to the furnace board on the other end and if you are uncomfortable working with that, call an A/C tech for help. The thermostat itself is great, as setting schedules is easy and the overall speediness of the system activating seems faster, although that just may be my appeal to novelty. Other than that, it’s what you’d expect a smart thermostat to do. (save energy, figure out when you are not home and adjust accordingly, etc.)
Fancy Set Back Thermometer w/ Horrible Instructions – And Not Expandable. UPDATE: Nest AccuracyJust spent 40 minutes chatting with some at the Google store regarding the accuracy of their Nest thermostat product.Asked what I thought was a pretty straightforward question – how accurate is the temperature and humidity data shown in my Nest app? Just installed a new AprilAire whole house humidifier and wanted to quantify the change.Well, it seems there isn’t much documentation available… Was told that they thought the temperature was accurate to 1% – and the same applied to its humidity setting. Pointed out that 1% was probably not an issue at 50% humidity, but would be miles off at a 10% environment.They did offer to sell me another one, I guess to benchmark it to my existing Nest (which might or might not be refurbished), but I declined.Shame consumer products not getting the support they deserve – especially one that directly impacts household environmental quality.Bottom line: Is this thermostat accurate – don’t know.If you’re like me, and would like to know what you’re getting into before you start a project, Nest thermostat installation will be frustrating.Picking one out to begin with is confusing – C wire, no C wire, etc – hooking up fairly straight forward, the tough part is getting the thing to eventually work…There is literally nothing in the box that helps sort any of this out – you will learn/fail as you go along with the on line set up and thousands of YouTube tutorials. Google saves $1 per unit by not including directions and leaves it up to the Nest “community” to walk you through it. Hopefully.After diagnosing we had a wiring issue (wire broke trying to jockeying it into the baseplate) we ended up with a persistent E294 error code. Again, Google saves money by not having any on line live chat or call center and we ended up getting by with one of the YouTube “experts” advice (disconnect and set up again) which finally worked after a couple hours effort.The most telling sign that Google underplays how easy this is to install is how quickly they route you to an installation company to make your headaches go away.The end result is a fancy set back thermometer (which we already had) that connects to your phone, spies on your activity, and encourages you to let your power company decide how comfortable you are going to be.The only benefit I see in this device is potentially easier programming – and seeing and adjusting comfort levels away from home. Spouse works from home, so setback features fairly minimal during the day, but knowing that system was not running properly (which recently happened when out of town) is nice.UPDATE: Much like the Ring doorbell we recently installed, Nest makes it impossible (so far) to easily add a second user to their account. Trying to add myself as a second user, the Nest said there was something wrong with the thermostat and would require yet another factory reset – which I am not ready to do as it has already taken over two hours just to get it working in the first place.Signing in as my spouse, can finally see the pretty basic control panel for the Nest thermostat. Don’t see any system health features (like battery life) or any programming suggestions (like eco mode) that would add value to this product.Without a sizable rebate from our electric utility, probably would have never purchased this product and waste several hours installing and troubleshooting. Support is nearly nonexistent and/or unreliable sourced.UPDATE 2: After battling with the Nest for a week, decided we had to invest more $$$ in a remote temperature sensor. Our Nest is stationed in corner of dining room and therefore sees little traffic to activate it. Having a warm Summer, was getting tired of Nest going Eco on us and letting house get into the 77-78 degree range, especially since it was set to 74.After fiddling around with the remote sensor, it eventually dawned on us that we had just purchased an early generation Nest, built several years ago, which would not recognize any sensor we tried to pair it with. We, wrongly assumed in this case, a brand new Google Nest would be, brand new (latest generation).Had the pleasure of paying $6 to return this useless accessory.

Spouse works from home, so setback features fairly minimal during the day, but knowing that system was not running properly (which recently happened when out of town) is nice.UPDATE: Much like the Ring doorbell we recently installed, Nest makes it impossible (so far) to easily add a second user to their account. Trying to add myself as a second user, the Nest said there was something wrong with the thermostat and would require yet another factory reset – which I am not ready to do as it has already taken over two hours just to get it working in the first place.Signing in as my spouse, can finally see the pretty basic control panel for the Nest thermostat. Don’t see any system health features (like battery life) or any programming suggestions (like eco mode) that would add value to this product.Without a sizable rebate from our electric utility, probably would have never purchased this product and waste several hours installing and troubleshooting. Support is nearly nonexistent and/or unreliable sourced.UPDATE 2: After battling with the Nest for a week, decided we had to invest more $$$ in a remote temperature sensor. Our Nest is stationed in corner of dining room and therefore sees little traffic to activate it. Having a warm Summer, was getting tired of Nest going Eco on us and letting house get into the 77-78 degree range, especially since it was set to 74.After fiddling around with the remote sensor, it eventually dawned on us that we had just purchased an early generation Nest, built several years ago, which would not recognize any sensor we tried to pair it with. We, wrongly assumed in this case, a brand new Google Nest would be, brand new (latest generation).Had the pleasure of paying $6 to return this useless accessory.
If you rely on apps, this is for you. Adjusting at the actual stat on the wall in person isn’t the most user friendly tho. There’s no markings on the side that tell you where to touch to change between heat and cool, warmer cooler etc. If you’re intuitive you’ll still be fine, if you’re not intuitive playing with tech and you don’t want to use the app on your phone when you want things warmer or cooler then you’ll probably hate it. Be aware. Personally I love the app, find it extremely convenient and user friendly even for people who don’t like tech, and in the last year have touched my actual stat zero times. I don’t like the look of the other metal ringed nest model but that one does have a typical hands on adjustment style so consider that if you don’t like apps and using your phone.I really like this faded rose color in person but biggest complaint is if you have to cover up old screw holes, unpainted area, or over cut hole from old stat and need to use an optional backplate there’s no matching backplate color. This rose directly on the wall is very nice, but put it on a white plastic backplate and I find it looks tacky. If you need a backplate then get matching white stat.Compared to any other thermostat option currently available I would still make the same purchase and get this nest version again
Great. Love my new thermostat, is easy to install and easy to used , it looks luxurious in the wall and the mirror screen looks amazing
Doesn’t work with the Nest app. Why is this called a Nest, yet it doesn’t work with the Nest app? Additionally the controls are terrible – it doesn’t have that awesome ring control like a real Nest, instead it’s an awful slider on the side that rarely does what you want it to do.All Google did here was take some cheap Chinese garbage and slap the word Nest on it double the price.Now, if you’ve never used a real Nest product, don’t already have other units using the Nest app, then maybe you’ll think this is great. But it’s not, and you might as well get some cheap unit from someone else because there’s no benefits in terms of fit and quality like past Nest products. The fact that Google was too lazy to make this work with the Nest app is just indefensible.
Olurda benim gibi Türkiye’den sipariş edenler için yazıyorum bu ürün şu an sadece U.S deki sistemlerle uyumlu. EU ve TR için heat link adında kombiye bağlanan bir sisteme ihtiyaç var GEN 3 ürününde olduğu gibi. Bu üründe heat link çıkmadığı için bizdeki sistemlerde çalışmıyor.

Easy to install. When installed it may ask for a C wire or certain features won’t work such as the screen going on when you approach it. A C wire is nothing more than a ground. I grounded mine to an electric box in the wall below the thermostat but if u can put it inside the ac, that works too. It’s a bit challenging to set up and to connect to Alexa but I love having it. Now I tell Alexa to change the temperature

Simplest thing to install ever. I waited too long. Generally, I don’t like installing anything with electricity, due in part to a shocking incident as a toddler coupled with my general anxiety about electrocution. Nevertheless, the old thermostat from the 1990s had to go, and I bought one of these units. While I’m not a big fan of Big Brother Google inside my house any more than necessary, I suppose they are just slightly better than Big Brother Alexa, who listens in on my private conversations and shares them with Uncle Bezos. Anyway, I digress. After you turn off the electricity to the HVAC, you’ll find that your old thermostat display becomes blank (i.e, no electricity to kill you). You label the 5 wires and then match them up to the same spot on the new Nest thermostat. That’s it! You use and app to connect to your phone over Wi-Fi and you are ready to rock and roll. No more slaving away to walk 25 feet to the thermostat to change settings. Now I can remain a couch potato and achieve a greater level of laziness never before seen. I not only would buy again, but I did buy again. This time for the relative’s home, where I can now use google to invade their privacy and criticize their exorbitant A/C usage.
User-Friendly and Stylish—The Perfect Smart Thermostat for Any Home. Installing the Google Nest Thermostat was a proud moment—I did it all by myself, even with my limited AC and electrical know-how! The sleek design looks fantastic on the wall, adding a modern touch to the space. One of the best features is the ability to share control with anyone in the household, making it super convenient for everyone. The step-by-step instructions on the app made setup a breeze; they were clear, easy to follow, and guided me through every step. This thermostat really combines function and style effortlessly, and I couldn’t be happier with it!
يعمل بشكل جيد سهل التركيب والبرمجة
Saved $30/Month on Heating – Pays for Itself and Super Easy to Install. My old thermostat was one of those ancient dial ones that had been in my house since probably the 80s. No programming, no scheduling, just a dial you turned to set the temperature. I was constantly adjusting it manually – turning it down when I left for work, back up when I got home, down at night, up in the morning. It was annoying and I was definitely wasting energy heating an empty house all day.Finally decided to upgrade to a smart thermostat and went with the Nest after researching a bunch of options. Installation took me maybe 30 minutes. I turned off the power to my HVAC system at the breaker, unscrewed the old thermostat, took a picture of how the wires were connected for reference, then connected the same wires to the Nest base. The instructions were super clear and the Nest app walks you through the whole process step by step.I mounted the Nest in my hallway where the old thermostat was. The base attaches to the wall with screws and the thermostat display just clicks onto it magnetically. Looks way more modern than that old beige dial thermostat. The display is sleek and the screen shows the current temp clearly from across the room.The setup through the app was straightforward. Connected it to my WiFi, told it what type of heating system I have, and it started learning my schedule immediately. The whole “learning” thing actually works – after like a week of me adjusting it manually when I wanted, it started automatically adjusting to match my patterns. Now it lowers the temp when I leave for work and warms the house back up before I get home.I can control it from my phone from anywhere which is super convenient. If I’m gonna be home late I can tell it to keep the heat lower for longer. If I’m coming home early I can warm the house up before I arrive. Also great for when I’m traveling – I can keep the heat way down while I’m gone and not waste money heating an empty house.The energy savings have been significant. I installed this in November right as heating season started and my first full month my gas bill was like $30 lower than the same month the previous year. Part of that is the automatic scheduling – the house isn’t being heated when nobody’s home. The Nest also shows you energy history and gives you little leaf icons when you’re running efficiently which is a nice motivator to not crank the heat unnecessarily.The motion sensor is a cool feature. If the Nest detects someone’s home when it thought the house would be empty, it adjusts accordingly. So like if I’m sick and stay home from work, it doesn’t keep the house cold all day thinking nobody’s there. It adapts to actual occupancy.The temperature control is more accurate than my old thermostat too. My old one would overshoot by like 3-4 degrees and then the heat would kick off, making the house cycle between too hot and too cold. The Nest keeps things much more consistent. The house stays right around the set temperature without those annoying swings.I integrated it with my Google Home setup and can control it with voice commands which is nice when my hands are full or I’m in bed and don’t want to get up. “Hey Google, set the thermostat to 70” and it just works. Can also ask it what the current temperature is.The Away mode is smart about knowing when you’re actually gone. It uses your phone’s location and the motion sensor to figure out if anyone’s home. I don’t have to remember to manually set it to away mode when I leave, it just knows and adjusts automatically to save energy.One thing I was worried about was it looking out of place since my house is kind of traditional/older style, but the Nest actually looks pretty sleek and modern without being too techy or standing out awkwardly. The circular design and the charcoal color work well with my hallway decor.The screen is really responsive and has this nice interface where you just turn the outer ring to adjust temperature. Way more satisfying than pecking at buttons on a programmable thermostat. The display shows you how long until it reaches your target temp which is useful for planning.It also shows weather forecasts on the display when you’re not actively using it, which is a nice touch. I glance at it in the morning to see what the day’s weather looks like before I leave for work.The monthly energy reports the app sends are actually interesting. Shows you how much energy you used compared to previous months and what factors affected your usage. Makes you more aware of your heating habits and how to be more efficient.Installation wise, the only thing to be aware of is you need a C-wire for power. My house had one already but if yours doesn’t, Nest makes an adapter you can install at your furnace. Might add 15 minutes to install time but the instructions cover it.After 4 months of use this has paid for itself and then some with the energy savings. My heating bills have consistently been $25-35 lower each month compared to last year. Over a heating season that adds up to hundreds of dollars saved, and the thermostat will last for years.If you’re still using an old manual thermostat or even an old programmable one that you never actually programmed, upgrade to this. The convenience of phone control and automatic scheduling alone is worth it, and the energy savings make it basically free over time. Installation is easy enough for anyone with basic DIY skills.
Good choice for remote heating and cooling control. I replaced my Sensi “smart” thermostat that was constantly having problems staying connected to WiFi and which drained the supplemental batteries every week with this product. Installation of this device was really easy and the Google Home App walked through all the steps quickly and accurately. It works great so far. The app allows me to control the temperature from anywhere efficiently and integrates perfectly with other Nest products. It’s simple while providing a large number of configuration options. I should have switched to this thermostat long ago.
Game-Changer for Our Home Comfort & Energy Savings. We replaced our old thermostat with this Google Nest Thermostat and couldn’t be happier. Setup was way easier than expected — I had it installed in about 30 minutes with the help of the app guiding me through each step. The Google Home app makes controlling the temperature a breeze, even when I’m away from home.The thermostat looks clean and modern on the wall, and the interface is intuitive. I especially love that it learns our habits and helps create an energy-efficient schedule — I’ve definitely noticed our HVAC isn’t running as much during times we don’t need it.It’s great being able to adjust the temperature from my phone or even with voice control through Google Assistant. It’s a noticeable upgrade from a traditional programmable thermostat — higher comfort, less hassle, and potential energy savings.If there’s one thing to keep in mind, just double-check compatibility with your HVAC system before buying, but once it’s installed, this thing works beautifully.
