FIXED! Ever since I put rechargeable batteries in my thermostat (two months ago), I haven't received the "low battery" message once. I think the low voltage charge from my air handler is going to the batteries, not the thermostat itself. Before, when I first installed the thermostat, I got the low battery message a few days after placing batteries in it, and had to replace them about every week.
I purchased 2 of these units probably 6+ months ago now, and they are really good units. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxcr5WULFU6yC9UUKc_cdNJT9jGa6VxO1l They are great for 3d printer plastic dry boxes, freezers, vehicles, gun safes, and more. The unit in the picture was pulled from my deep freezer and moved into my truck center console (monitoring humidity for water leak). It took a few hours to thaw and normalize temp and humidity reading going from those extremes, as expected, but it handled it well and is still running great.
We tried to connect one using the Nest power converter and it didn't work. I'm surprised you were able to get it to work without a C wire. I'll have to give this a try and tell it we have a C wire. I disconnected the power converter and put my old thermostat back on so we can have heat just until we get this figured out. You say it charges your batteries? Have you had to replace them much? Wondering how long the batteries that came with it will last till i get some rechargables. Will it still control your furnace even if the batteries are dead? BTW, if anyone needs the Nest power converter, Google will send it to you for free. there's a link in the setup app. don't pay $25 for one.
I have a Williams wall heater and millivolt thermostat. Running power, even a 24V transformer would be a major pain. Does anyone make a battery powered Smart WiFi thermostat that will work with a 2-wire millivolt system with no power? Is that even possible? Is this how you set your up?
It’ll eventually give you issues. Especially if you live in the northeast or any cold region during the winter. I install nest products for a living and a c wire is needed. Otherwise you can use a learning thermostat that will usually function fine with only heat. If you have heat and ac you will need a c wire or plug in transformer. You can use a nest E thermostat but they are hard to find due to being discontinued for this new model. Not a fan of this model btw...
In addition, the publisher of the video can also simply install a "Nest Power Connector" at the HVAC unit (or zone controller in this case I guess) which converts the R and W or Y thermostat wire pair to three outputs. R, W or Y, and a C wire. See the Nest instructional video here for instance ... th-cam.com/video/xlx2Um6D1Z8/w-d-xo.html
@@antonioterrell354 yeah pretty dope how they came out with the power connector. Already installed a few and works fairly well. Still a lot of issues with customers that have older model control boards but I’m glad they thought of something to help the c wire issue.
I have heat-only for specific zone that I am trying to replace old honeywell with Nest, I have only 2 wires at this specific location (but at other locations I noticed I have C wire, because they also control A/C cooling unit outside) Do you think it will be a problem?
I just installed one of these and I have a c wire seated in to the connector but the hardware itself is not detecting it. I'm still in the preliminary stages of troubleshooting this though. All the other functions work just fine though.
Do you have to recharge the nest e upstairs without a c wire? I haven’t been able to set up a nest e in my house because it dies and doesn’t turn ac on just the fan only. I have yellow green red and a blue instead of c for o/b with jumpers on old thermostat
Dude it looks like your in a no freezing state but what you offering won’t work for a 20 below ⬇️ temp home I leave to work and my family is completely out of heat because the batteries go dead within days 🤨🧐 go ahead drink your coffee next time put a don’t give vídeo Bra
How long does it last exactly, without a c? Does the thermostat send a message to change the battery? My concern is that this either shuts off, stays on or flicks my boiler on and off when the battery gets low, They originally said it could be battery only, but recently said it needs C
Yeah the thing is to make sure you have a brand new battery when you're doing the install and what it will do is we'll kick on the system and it will start to work. When the battery gets low the Wi-Fi will be the first to lose connection. You can still control the thermostat by walking up to it and touching the side and you can potentially restart the thermostat and the Wi-Fi will work again but eventually you will need to change the AAA batteries. Once set up is complete 1 a month change you AAA batteries.
@@jamesbond-jr3yh by brand new battery do you mean replace the battery then install? Also, did it actually require you put a dud wire into common or will it let you continue without it. Thanks!
Are you aware of the fact that you can rotate your phone 90 degrees so your video occupies the whole screen instead of just a NARROW VERTICLE PORTION OF THE SCREEN? It never ceases to amaze me how many people are unaware of this fact and or just to dumb to rotate the phone. Please do this over and rotate your phone so the lone way is right to left. You would be surprised to find out how nice it is to see a wide screen video.

The batteries charge in the thermostat?
So it is OK to use the rechargeable batteries ?

don't listen to this guy...... also, finish your damn coffee before filming a video.
I also did this and yes it works but it will not have constant display. And constantly reminds me to add a c wire
To whom it may concern....ditch this " instructive" video...too much is wrong with it to explain...plenty of others out there...run, don't walk!!

Hi there
I have a jumper wire installed in my old thermostat, do you know if i need to install jumper on nest too?
Please & thanks

@@HeadingForTomorrow just charge the thermostat for about 30min prior to installing it. You should be fine since it’s heat only for that zone.
won't let me past the setup prompt
I have a nest and it’s giving me an M20 error and my AC won’t turn on. Can someone help me figure this out?
I just installed one of these and I have a c wire seated in to the connector but the hardware itself is not detecting it. I'm still in the preliminary stages of troubleshooting this though. All the other functions work just fine though.
You need to reset your thermostat and configure the c wire in the setup
This video helped me. Thank you!!!
Thank you

I installed one of these and have to replace batteries every 2 days. A little annoyed by it.

How new is your Google Nest.
@@jamesbond-jr3yh brand new. just purchased
new google nest with mirrored screen
@@ladoucpa I will try to restart my nest and reprogram it with a quick video
Have you been able to get it to work with just a 2 wire? Does it work if you put a fake wire into C?
Thanks my guyyy
Guess this worked for you.
What's the make and model of your door lock? I like it and it looks solid.

Send me ur email I got a question and I’m trying to see if u can help me with mines
2:29 The Google Nest thermostat says Low battery
Soon or late your battery will die, this is a temp fix FYI
Correct
... you HAVE a C wire, just connect it at the furnace.
Mine won’t even turn on
This is so stupid, google says online that it works without a C wire and I’m trying to set it up and it’s not working :(
So what I did was I set up and said I had the wire but I didn't have the wire

Hi , How long did the batteries last ?
