Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I bought the device for my disabled mother so she can adjust thermostat from her phone. I thought I had it set up properly but I did not! Eco mode was driving my elderly mother crazy and I didn't understand how to get out of it until I watched your video. Also the information about the fan was useful in general. Thanks again for taking the time.
I can’t thank you enough for this very informative video. I was ready to get rid of my nest thermostat because I was having trouble programming schedules for months. I wish I had found this months ago.
Thank you so much for the video, I was going crazy trying to set this thing up lol. I kept waking up freezing because the echo setting was always off. Excellent instructions
Excellent review of all the features of nest thermostat !!! Some of the features are easy and intuitive but explanation about ; 1) safety temperature 2) early on option 3) fan setting option in schedules, 4) air filter removal warning in notifications are not obvious to first time users and I found the video very helpful.
I had to go through so many videos to find what I needed here, thanks! The bits about how to set a schedule in the home app was exactly what i was looking for!!!
Excellent presentation. I am, however, still stuck on how to set an " away" time. I have 2 homes. I currently have 2 nest thermosets installed in home 1. One for my AC and one for my heat. I plan on adding 2 to home 2 when I return there soon. Anyway, both are wired correctly and running fine. I only use cooling thermostat in summer. Heating one in winter So, regarding cooling (or in the winter heating, I suppose). I don't quite understand how to either use the eco setting or setting a custom setting to set either a very high number(in summer(when I'm at house2) or a low number in winter (when at other home. I'll also have to figure that out when I get the 2 nests, that I plan on installing at house 2. I have my current 7-day schedule set fairly simply. A set cooling time during the day and a sleep time. I have an eco temp that I would like to use when I leave for a few weeks or whatever, I'm guessing that it must have to do with setting that eco mode into hold position, so it stays high until I take it off hold . My goal is to have my google home app remotely start to cool down or heat up whichever home I'm within an hour of arriving at. Please advise. If that was covered by you, I missed it. Feel free to reply, DM me , if you have the time. Thanks Steven K
Great video, you explained everything! I can't believe there isn't a way to switch the display temperature readings so that the actual current room temperature is displayed in large font and the 'set to' below in small font (instead of the opposite). I'm really disappointed in Nest (or Google). It's too bad the Ecobee Premium I had was not sensing the correct temperature even though the SmartSensor it came with was able to detect the correct temp. Ecobee is way better than Nest. I regret buying the Nest.
Maybe it's just me, but I am stunned that there seems to be no direct way to program the Google Nest thermostat to TURN OFF at a particular time, e.g., at bed time. You can program a start time, but no end time, at least not if that's what you want on a daily basis (you can program an end time for temperature hold, but from what I can tell that works only for any given day). The workaround, which is implicitly suggested by this video (Thank you!), is to add another "event" to the "schedule" at bed time using sleep mode and then turn the temperature at which sleep mode kicks in so low that it will never actually turn on while you are sleeping. This is yet another instance of where hi-tech makes your life needlessly more complicated. I just spent the better part of two hours figuring out how to automatically "turn off" the thermostat every night. Is there any more basic function of ANY DEVICE than turning it off and on? All Google had to do is to add an end time option after the start time option. Duh.
Hey like your video! Thanks for the walkthrough. I have a question, does the nest 2020 thermostat has lower fan speed on auto mode comparing to the manual fan on mode?
PLEASE HELP!! Thank you for taking your time a give us all that information BUT I was expecting you will touch the eco (green leaf) subject. My problem is that at 7:00am my house feels so warm and when I look at my phone the temperature is 82 degree showing the green leaf!! I need to know how I can get rid of that green leaf or change my thermostat to manually so I can put it on whatever temperature I want from my phone!! Thanks again!
Will it control furnace blower ON/OFF? My humidifier is mist kind and requires heat and blower working together with humidifier. My humidifier also requires furnace blower to work a couple minutes after humidifier switches off automatically to distribute all the moisture collected in the duct. If blower stops the same time with mist humidifier moisture still will sit inside plenum and makes it rust. Will this Humidifier Control have this setting so furnace blower work few minutes after humidifier switched off??
I have this ! I am missing a c wire for a heating system from a new crown boiler I had installed . I bought a 24 v transformer from Amazon that has C and RC , but this only has one R insert . Should I connect just my W from the boiler and connect RC to R and C to C from my 24v adapter ? , I saw how some people connect the RC and R in the same R only on nest . Is that appropriate please assist
I'm connecting my Nest G4CVZ to my gas fireplace. The diagram I have shows an older style of nest. The older style has 3 wires. White to W1, Blue to C, and Red to RH. My G4CVZ has less connectors. There is a Y, C, W on the left and a G, R, OB on the right side. Do you know which connectors I put the White, Blue and Red wires to on my G4CVZ?
I’m sorry if you covered it here and I impatiently didn’t review the whole video. Is there any way to flip the display from target temp being large and the indoor being smaller? I would like my indoor temp to be the larger of the two, so I can see from a distance what the indoor temp is. Thanks for any feedback.
I was wondering the same thing. I did a quick google search and apparently you and I are the only two people in the world who would like to switch the display temps. 😞
If I have two of these thermostats at two different homes/addresses, does the Google Home App allow the ability to connect and adjust both thermostats? Thanks..
Wow, super informative, as I am about to buy a couple of these. Who needs a manual! 😀 One question though, is there a way to hold the current temp indefinitely? In other words, and I can do this on my old Honeywell, if I go away a couple of days, and want to set my A/C to 80 degrees until I return, possible? I only see where you can until until a certain time.
Excellent Tutorial. Does this thermostat have compressor protection mode? In cool mode, If you start the compressor immediately after it turns off, does it delay the start for 5 minutes?
I installed this thermostat in a vacation rental I have. Does this nest version have a feature where I can set a temp limit range? So for example, if I set the range from 69-75 the thermostat can only be manually changed between this range and nothing below or above?
Great video, thanks! Can you tell me how to turn the eco off? I have all my schedules deleted now, will that do it? I want the temp to always be the same. The eco has been turning on when I am not home and I don't want it to. Thank you!!
I had the same problem. Waking up sweltering with eco. After three calls to Nest, I finally spoke to someone knowledgeable. From the Home Google page, directly right under your address reads something that needs to be clicked. It doesn’t look like an option to click but it is. That’s where Nest went wrong. Follow that prompt to where you can toggle off away mode. I can’t remember exactly. My home page under the address now reads “HOME”. Nest should have set it up this way to be user friendly. Nest should have included a manual also.
@@TheChampskins yessss!! I figured it out shortly after I posted the question. The setting is located in your actual personal google account, I had no idea to look there. It is not a setting on the nest app. Very confusing indeed! Thank you for your response. I've had that darned eco finally turned off for awhile now....much better!!
Very helpful and informative. TY. One detail I didn't hear mentioning is the screen display has a sensor to turn on when it feels a person nearby, very annoying every time I pass the screen lights up, any way to disable this?
Question: in the hold “temperature setting “, I do not have the choice that says “Current temp”? I only have the choices : “Comfort, Eco, Sleep”. Do you know why my Nest app does not give me the “Current temp” setting.
I have a question on the app I have iPhone using google home app whenever I use dual hot / cold I set the Temperature for hot and cold but the I see a time below where it’s show indoor temperature 1. How can I remove the timer? 2. Let’s say the timer is at 3:00 AM and after that the temperature has been change automatically. Unfortunately I cannot show you my screenshot on TH-cam so that way you can quite understand what I’m saying can you please help me
Ok you showed in the beginning that the heat was set to 66 but it’s 72 indoors so the heat won’t turn on, we’ll it was 64 in my house I turned the heat to 72 and it felt really hot so i checked the temp and it said it was 81 inside 🥵 I don’t understand 🤷🏻♀️ I keep watching your video, thinking maybe I missed something, please let me know if there’s anything else I should try 🙏🏼 thank you
I got a question. First when I turn my nest off my hvac unit will kick on still through out the day…. That doesn’t seem right. Second on heat function if I get it to 70 degrees it will go over that and when you click off it won’t turn off. I have to go to cooling to make it switch then click off to shut down the unit? Anyone please help me trouble shoot this
So the problem I am having is when I manually change my temp outside of a preset temp and wanting the manual temp to be held for an hour and then wanting it to return to the normal schedule. Once the hour is up or will keep the manual temp to the next schedule. Example: I have my heat at 60° when I go to sleep at 10 PM. If I want to keep keep the heat at 63° on a cold night until 11 PM it will stay at 63° until the next schedule (7 AM) because I manually changed the temp to a temp that isn't a preset temp. I would think it would just go back to the normal schedule. Anyone know how to fix this from happening?
How do I keep this thermostat from going to eco mode? I work from home in my office and the thermostat is in the bedroom. Since it does sense any movement, it thinks I am not home. I cant figure out how to turn ECO mode so it does not reduce the temp so much.
Can someone tell me please how to turn off all the ECO Crap.. I just want the heat set to 75 all the time... I take care of my mother and I dont want it to go to sleep or eco or anything.. I want it 75 degrees all the time day and night..
I found the fix for this. Get your house to the desired temp then put the nest in to eco mode. then choose to hold the temperature indefinitely by using the infinity symbol.
What happens when the room temp falls below the set temp and the thermostat does not trigger. I have to turn it off and then on again. And then sometimes it goes into eco mode when the room temp falls below the set temperature and the battery is not low. I am about to toss this in the garbage.
This was a good review I’m not gonna bag on your review at all. This thermostat is a 100% piece of junk! You need a computer science degree to figure it out. Don’t waste your money on this product it’s nothing but frustrating. If someone knows how to just turn it into a normal thermostat please let me know.
This is the biggest piece of junk. Mine thinks it is 263 degrees in my house and has done for two months. That was a pain but livable when it was hot. I could manually force the air conditioning on and off from my phone. Now it's getting cold at night. There is nothing you can do to force the heat on when the Nest thinks it's 263 degrees in the house. The Nest says Very Low Battery. So I wrestled the thing apart and replaced the batteries. It still says Very Low Battery. I thought maybe I needed to restart. I opened my Google Home and followed directions, going to Device to restart. There is no option to restart. None at all. I have hated this thing since I got it and cannot wait until next week when HVAC comes to replace with a Honeywell.
This specific thermostat is trash. There's no options to set the thermostat to a start/end time at a certain temperature. You can only use the presets and there's no option to end the preset at a certain time. The most basic of functions and it dont have it.
2 apps plus processer to run manually.... replace with 26 dollar programable and you will not need a vido to understand. 5 calls to tech, 15 calls to support and still no refund for this miserable product. NEST means RUN AWAY... and if you think I am the only one do look around.Black and Decker support makes google and nest look like fools.
Too much unnecessary confusion. Even has a list of 9/10 different languages to choose from on the nest thermostat. Ridiculous! The thermostat will go up or down by itself. Its like a computer on the wall. Give me a simple and easy to-do thermostat!

Your video is so helpful and very detail. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this grip cuz I was lost when it came to this darn thing. Again thank you
Enjoyed the detailed video. Help this old guy a lot in setting thermostat.
Thanks. This is the best demonstration of the Nest Thermostat's capabilities.
Outstanding job here. I feel more empowered to use my new device. Thanks for your video!!
great job very informative best video i’ve seen

Hello is there any way to lock this thermostat unit?
Can you use this outside the house?
How do I change the sleep mode temperatures?
So the problem I am having is when I manually change my temp outside of a preset temp and wanting the manual temp to be held for an hour and then wanting it to return to the normal schedule. Once the hour is up or will keep the manual temp to the next schedule.

Anyone know how to fix this from happening?
When I am gone for a week how can I hold the temp 24 hrs./day for that period of time?
Help, I have the 3rd nest that I keep getting a message that says it keeps shutting itself off when heating after 15min
How do you lock the thermostat?
I am serious! The previous version TStat had the ability. I cannot figure how on this version.
Me neither
How can one delete a "custom" setting?
what does it mean? in 30 min under temp
I have this same nest 2020, when I set wake display "On Approach" it does not work, I must tap it for display to turn on, anyone else experience this?
Can you add the google sensors with this nest thermostat?
Not at the moment. I heard that they may come out with them in the near future.
How do I keep this thermostat from going to eco mode? I work from home in my office and the thermostat is in the bedroom. Since it does sense any movement, it thinks I am not home. I cant figure out how to turn ECO mode so it does not reduce the temp so much.
You can change the comfort settings to whatever temperature you want just gotta go to settings and schedules
I deleted the eco mode from the schedules for each day.
The old base plate fits?
Not really, but you can kind of make it work if you use a utility knife to enlarge the mounting holes.
How do you just leave the thermostat on Manual
Can someone tell me please how to turn off all the ECO Crap.. I just want the heat set to 75 all the time... I take care of my mother and I dont want it to go to sleep or eco or anything.. I want it 75 degrees all the time day and night..
Agreed. I am watching this hoping it addresses that exact issue. Just let me decide what damn temp I want. That's what a thermostat is supposed to do.

Maybe I'm wrong here but I would set up my schedule to not include Eco mode.

Please explain why this stupid device changes my preset temperature setting even after I've enabled the Lock settings.
can I lock this unit so that it requires a password to cake changes?
How to turn off ECOO pleaseeee
Thanks for the video. I am very suprised that there is no way to simply hold a temp. This is a terrible thermostat for renters or Air B N B 'ers

I figured out my question. One just goes to google home and has home and away settings.
Have had the NEST for three yrs now and hate it!! It is confusing and doesn't work sufficiently!
Does this thermostat have parenting control? I want want kids or people to play with it while I'm away
I think I'll put my old thermostat back on
HOW CAN YOU LOCK IT WITH A PASS CODE ?????THANKS GREAT INFO THUMS UP!!!!
Rather than saying heat, mine is saying COOLING! Help!!
Locked Pin how to unlock
