@@justinedse8435 I like mine. I have one both downstairs and upstairs and it has saved me money. I just set a temperature range and let it go. It turns off when I leave and turns on about 20 minutes out from when I get home. Has a setting that if it gets too cold (while off) or hot it cuts on. It's really not complicated. I can also control them remotely so I can make changes while I'm away. I thought they were a little overly complicated at first because I just wanted to set a temp and leave but now after using them for a few months, I love them.
The "instructions" that come with the Nest thermostat are horrible and this thermostat can be a little confusing to use, this little tutorial is very helpful, but I'm guessing now that I'm just going to have to play with it to get a good feel for it thank you very much for this.
Very informative video but had to hit pause and back up several times in order to catch everything being said...hard for an old fogie to absorb things that quickly! I've had my Nest for several years and have always wondered why the temps that I set never stay the same throughout the day. I think now I'm better equipped to figure out all of the settings! Thank you so much.
Thank you for explaining this. This makes it very simple. I got a Nest and my wife set it up, but it's been changing the damned temperature all the time. So, I bet it has schedules that I need to adjust, and I think it is auto-learning ... Maybe, there are no schedules, and it's just auto-adjusting. Don't know, but now, I can figure it out. Yes, I love it, but we're still adjusting to a new A/C Unit because we had freon and now we've got preon. So, it's a hell of an upgrade. Best decision we ever made, I think. Ours was from 2004, and it was not cooling like it did. But, now, it's a frig in here some evenings -- with how my wife set it, but that's nice and all. But, I've got to get it where it saves poweer, and where I understand why it's happening. So, this video helps me.
Home Depot installed one for my 85 year old dad that doesn't have a smart phone or internet and the kid that installed it didn't explain it very well and I'm 2 1/2 hours away. This thing is not intuitive at all, horrible design.
Good choice. The integration with the Nest Protect: amzn.to/3dVgjtz to shut off your HVAC system if there's a fire or carbon monoxide is a great feature.
Thank you for thorough easy to understand instructions!😁 My apartment is doing more energy saving changes: LED bulbs for kitchen, Nest thermostat, hot water tank blankets, ect. I never used one before.😁
I am a senior as well, the explanation was useful and you have helped me understand the scope of what's now possible. Thank you! However, I HATE the nest thermostat, it's beyond geeky and quite ridiculous in my opinion and I truely wish I didn't have it. I either simply want the heating on or off, at the temperature I set at the time. I don't want some cleaver piece of tech trying to work out what I want and putting the heating on when I don't want it. The fact that I need to consult RUclips to turn on the heating is pretty depressing isn't it!
@@KTibow was gonna say the same thing. Redic someone buys the most advanced, feature rich home thermostat available (at least that Nest offers) and then complains it's too complex. Literally couldn't be simpler to operate, read, navigate, program. It's 3 clicks max for literally anything 🤣 Maybe some people need the sliding top bar instead of a circular dial? 🤣🤣 Not knocking the video tho, was super well put together and great for a would be buyer to see all the available features and if it's too complex for their tastes
EXACTLY!!! The STUPID THING shows the SET TEMPERATURE and doesn’t show the ACTUAL TEMPERATURE !!! It also doesn’t LEARN, it just MIMICS WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!!! STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!!!
Just moved into a new home with this thermostat. No one left any instructions of any kind and I'd never seen one before. I had a modern Lennox digital thermostat that worked quite well in my old home. What I want to do is clear out every preset and control everything with my little fingers.
Great video, I have a question,I stay in a cooler place and while I am away I set the eco temperature heat to 56F.When I am at home I had set the heat temperature to 68F.Don’t you think it will consume more energy to bring back the temperature ? Then how Eco energy mode going to save money ?
How do you manually switch to a preset temperature or vacation mode? I don’t want to have it controlled by leaf. When I get home I want to switch it back to my manually set schedule
Thank you for sharing this really helped me. I’ve lived in my new home almost 3 months, the previous owners had the nest setup just right. However, after my hubby and I resetting it. I am learning how to use it and have it setup. What I did notice is the on the main screen your left bar where 57 is when u scroll on the dial it moves higher or lower. When I move the dial my right bar moves up or down. Why? Also it’s colder where I live right now, and I would like to have it warmer in the house. It seems like when the system is not on its so cold.
My HVAC Company recommends this for my 86 year old Mom. I just had them put in an Emerson model I purchased, but my Mom (a common complaint) says the downstairs is too cold. They sent someone out, and this time I was careful to ask them what was going on. Her portable heater near her bathroom is skewing the thermostat upstairs, so that everything turns off. He recommends buying a brand with a sensor, and there are only 3 brands. I'm worried the thing will run all the time, as she will set the heat high even at night. You describe that the sensor in a different room can be told to not be the main one at night. This could solve my concern. My question is: by Night...can you set a time for that to begin? She doesn't want to be cold while she is watching the news in the early evening.
Why would you need a ton of settings when that Nest thing won’t even set to a safe temperature. It’s gets colder and suddenly hotter in here after installing Nest. My old thermostat will not let the temperature drop the way this Nest thing does.
Great video but no mention how to use in a "manual" mode. Although you can adjust current temp, once it hits a pre-programmed schedule time, it automatically engages the schedule and cancels the manual setting. Any insight without deleting all scheduled settings?
I have the heat on and it continues to say it will take 2 hrs to reach temperature and it stays at 60 degrees. It's cold and I'm using a space heater. How can I get the heat flowing?
I am beginning to HATE this Nest thermostat , I am having the same problem. I have a new heat and air system, so that is not the problem, its the NEST !!!
Thank you for your straight forward explanation of how the 3rd generation works. Following installation, and after 5 days of no heat late afternoon and evening, watching your video points me to a faulty unit or incorrect installation of the Heat Link.
How to use T with a gas furnace as primary for heat with heat pump being inoperable. I got the heat pump on a deal but don't need to use it because it is too expensive.
In summary: If you do “not” have a “combined” advanced degree in-electrical engineering, IT, AI, Blockchain, Computer Science and Computer coding... you will hate the Nest Thermostat.
Excellent Video. What should I set my thermostat to if I'm leaving my home for a month. I'm in the Houston, Texas area where winter temperature could get down to 20 degrees F from time to time. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
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 thermostat with a new brand Gas furnace as well as a Heat Pump system that does both A/C and heating. The default when selecting heating is the Gas furnace fan comes on right away without using the gas burners but it uses the outdoor heat pump for heat using electricity. Because the heat pump takes a while to warm up, it blows cold air for about 5 - 7 minutes which I don't like. How do I override the settings so that I can turn on my gas furnace first and then switch over to the heat pump once I reach desired temperature to maintain it? I haven't been able to figure it out yet so haven't been able to take advantage to use the new Gas furnace. I've tried google searches but no luck so far. Thanks if you happen to answer this question.
Got one of these as a gift…my old thermostat I would just set it at the temp I wanted it. This thing keeps changing it back to a certain temperature when I really just want to leave it at the temp that I last set it at. Why?
So, I just got a nest learning thermostat a few days ago. I hooked it up, and it said “low battery” and disconnected from WiFi and all of that. I don’t have a C wire So, I charged it with the usb cable for an hour then hooked it back up and everything seems to be fine, and the battery voltage is between 3.8-3.9 My question is, will I have to periodically take the nest off the wall to charge it, or was the battery just initially low because it just sat in the box for too long and/or they aren’t really charged up when they are boxed to begin with? Is the 3.8-3.9 voltage enough to keep the battery charging/charged by just having it connected to the HVAC wiring?
Constantly changing the temp in your house when you leave and come back does nothing but cost you more energy and in spending. Find a temp you like and set it there and leave, don't change it up or down don't turn it off or on. You spend so much more energy when your system is trying to return the entire house to the temp you want if you turn it off or let it change while you leave then you ever would just leaving it the same. I went from a almost 400 monthly electric bill doing it the way everyone says to do to a 130 dollar a month electric bill setting my unit to 66 and leaving it alone forever.
Received this thermometer as an (energy saving program) no instructions what so ever. Senior here, eyesight not good enough to see all these display features. Does NEST have a thermostat that has larger features? Apparently this one is called Thermostat third generation ?
My nest has a time on the bottom once we readjust the setting. Is this the time to temperature alert? I can’t attach a picture to demonstrate the screen. Thanks
I change my old thermostat to 3rd Gen Nest wires from the wall only 4 wires everything work but I don't have Airwave option in my Nest thermostat in my old thermostat I have that after I turn AC off fan will stay on for couple minute then turns off but with Nest as soon I turn off the AC shootdown the fans too
Why when I change my temperature does it say “in 2hrs” above the new temperature I dialed in … if I come home and it’s 65° in my house 🥶, and I want it to be 70°, I don’t want it to take 2 hours to reach 70°??
I hated my Nest until I finally learned to use the features. This is most peoples problem with this thermostat. One change I would like to see is being able to manually run the fan beyond 12 hours.
One question please: I've had mine for three days, and I'm confused about the home/away function. I have my thermostat set to automatically use Eco when I am away, but it doesn't seem to function properly unless I manually set myself to AWAY. I was under the impression that it would automatically know I was away when I got enough distance from my home WIFI, or maybe GPS would know I was away, but either way, to get it to work I have to manually set myself to AWAY. Any ideas?
Guys, I want to change/increase my default Max temp (currently 90) on the same nest shown on this video. Please advise if there's a way to do that? Thanks
Nice Video, here is my most important question that I can't find an answer. I have a whole house Dehumidifier attached to the system and all cooling and heating is forced air and electric How do I use Nest to turn my dehumidifier on with the main fan to dehumidify the air for the system all around the house?
The E wire. If the fan doesn't activate with it, you can at least set the fan to operate every 15 minutes? I'd assume would kick on though for it. I have heat pump and it asked if I wanted to either use hum, dehum or Aux heat. Not sure if you can use multiple
Why does my Nest have only one setting. Heat. The AC has been working fine until some kids messed with it. Now when I try to change the settings i only get heat as an option?
My thermostat (in the cool mode, no schedule, no programing at all) after reaching the set temperature keeps cooling one degree more and keeps running for more than 8 or 10 minutes more until finally stops. Is this normal?
This is frustrating, mine has different choices must be a dif. model & keeps resetting itself. Just when I think I have it on manual it jerks back to whatever. Now I can get the air on but it doesn’t turn off. Update - the nest NEVER stops trying to “learn” what you want so I replaced mine with a small simple old style thermostat. Problem solved.
Hi, I am trying to work out how to turn my hot water on via the nest thermostat without having the central heating on ? Can this be done and if so how please ?
My thermostat looks exactly like the one in this video. However the options are different. I don't have an option for cool. I just wanna turn the damn thing on! It's driving me nuts. It says it's 77 inside. I want it down to 72ish and I can't do it!
hi, i can't seem to get the fan to run independently, when i try to run just the fan it gives me a menu "To run the fan, first choose a thermostat mode: Heat, Cool or Heat/Cool" any ideas would be appreciated, wires i have connected are Y1, G, Rc, W1, W2, C
You can choose the mode, then turn the thermostat set point up or down above the current temperature and it will allow you to run the fan independent of providing heating or cooling.
Have the nest in our vacation home and have had 2 guest call us saying that it is displaying low battery and to enter lock code. We do have it locked with a minimum temp on AC mode at 70 to protect the condenser. Been trying to trouble shoot if they are removing it from the wall and then putting it back on... Do you know any reasons for it saying low battery? It has only happened twice. Thanks Jay
Yes, if it was removed from the wall that could happen. It could also happen if you were having power outages from the utility at your home. It can also happen if you were having a low battery due to the lack of a common wire. This video explains the common wire low battery problem: ruclips.net/video/fnGGJ5r9dVU/видео.html

Got one of these as a gift…my old thermostat I would just set it at the temp I wanted it. This thing keeps changing it back to a certain temperature when I really just want to leave it at the temp that I last set it at. Why?
How do you keep the condenser from coming on in the cold weather and use electric heat.
So, I just got a nest learning thermostat a few days ago. I hooked it up, and it said “low battery” and disconnected from WiFi and all of that. I don’t have a C wire
So, I charged it with the usb cable for an hour then hooked it back up and everything seems to be fine, and the battery voltage is between 3.8-3.9
My question is, will I have to periodically take the nest off the wall to charge it, or was the battery just initially low because it just sat in the box for too long and/or they aren’t really charged up when they are boxed to begin with?
Is the 3.8-3.9 voltage enough to keep the battery charging/charged by just having it connected to the HVAC wiring?
I have a newer one than this. All I need to know is why I set cooling to 71 degrees and it say 63 when I come back.
Constantly changing the temp in your house when you leave and come back does nothing but cost you more energy and in spending. Find a temp you like and set it there and leave, don't change it up or down don't turn it off or on. You spend so much more energy when your system is trying to return the entire house to the temp you want if you turn it off or let it change while you leave then you ever would just leaving it the same. I went from a almost 400 monthly electric bill doing it the way everyone says to do to a 130 dollar a month electric bill setting my unit to 66 and leaving it alone forever.
How can you set the nest to hold on a specific temp? If I leave on vacation I want only one temp setting for the entire time I'm gone.

I was under the impression that it would automatically know I was away when I got enough distance from my home WIFI, or maybe GPS would know I was away, but either way, to get it to work I have to manually set myself to AWAY. Any ideas?
Return it ASAP these thermostats are overpriced junk
You might need to install the Nest app and let it access the location of your phone.
Yeah, stupid ass system!!!
My is at 86. I tried to set it to 79 it says "in 2+ hr" its been 4 hours now went down 1 degree. Any tips?
Just got my nest hooked up and when I set my temp to 68f the comes on and heats the house to 77f why? Thanks
BECAUSE IT SUCKS!!! And learn how to write!!!
Guys, I want to change/increase my default Max temp (currently 90) on the same nest shown on this video. Please advise if there's a way to do that? Thanks
Great video! Very informative! Thank you!
That was helpful. Thanks!
Nice Video, here is my most important question that I can't find an answer. I have a whole house Dehumidifier attached to the system and all cooling and heating is forced air and electric How do I use Nest to turn my dehumidifier on with the main fan to dehumidify the air for the system all around the house?
The E wire. If the fan doesn't activate with it, you can at least set the fan to operate every 15 minutes? I'd assume would kick on though for it. I have heat pump and it asked if I wanted to either use hum, dehum or Aux heat. Not sure if you can use multiple
Read the manual!!!
This was such a helpful video on Nest. Thank you!
Do you have video for first generation
Why does my Nest have only one setting. Heat. The AC has been working fine until some kids messed with it. Now when I try to change the settings i only get heat as an option?
My thermostat (in the cool mode, no schedule, no programing at all) after reaching the set temperature keeps cooling one degree more and keeps running for more than 8 or 10 minutes more until finally stops. Is this normal?
This is frustrating, mine has different choices must be a dif. model & keeps resetting itself. Just when I think I have it on manual it jerks back to whatever. Now I can get the air on but it doesn’t turn off.
Update - the nest NEVER stops trying to “learn” what you want so I replaced mine with a small simple old style thermostat. Problem solved.
Google Nest Temperature Sensor is not available in Europe?!
Must be because of the Communist nature of Europe .
Can eco mode work with 2 phones if 1 person leaves but someone else is home?
It's Awful!! I can't stand it! Bring back Simplicity!! Nothing but confusion!
So, the pipes won't freeze, what pipes?
Thanks very helpful
Thanks for watching!
Hi,
I am trying to work out how to turn my hot water on via the nest thermostat without having the central heating on ? Can this be done and if so how please ?
The nest is for a FURNACE, NOT a WATER HEATER!
My thermostat looks exactly like the one in this video. However the options are different. I don't have an option for cool. I just wanna turn the damn thing on! It's driving me nuts. It says it's 77 inside. I want it down to 72ish and I can't do it!
hi, i can't seem to get the fan to run independently, when i try to run just the fan it gives me a menu "To run the fan, first choose a thermostat mode: Heat, Cool or Heat/Cool" any ideas would be appreciated, wires i have connected are Y1, G, Rc, W1, W2, C
You can choose the mode, then turn the thermostat set point up or down above the current temperature and it will allow you to run the fan independent of providing heating or cooling.
@@OneHourSmartHome thanks will try that
Yeah, it’s REALLY STUPID!!! You shouldn’t have to choose a mode before you can run the fan!!!
Have the nest in our vacation home and have had 2 guest call us saying that it is displaying low battery and to enter lock code. We do have it locked with a minimum temp on AC mode at 70 to protect the condenser. Been trying to trouble shoot if they are removing it from the wall and then putting it back on... Do you know any reasons for it saying low battery? It has only happened twice. Thanks Jay
Yes, if it was removed from the wall that could happen. It could also happen if you were having power outages from the utility at your home. It can also happen if you were having a low battery due to the lack of a common wire. This video explains the common wire low battery problem: ruclips.net/video/fnGGJ5r9dVU/видео.html
You DON’T have it set to 70 to PROTECT THE CONDENSER, you have it set to 70 TO PROTECT YOUR FINANCES!!!!! BE HONEST!!!!
I have recently had this thermostat installed. I can't get my head around it. 😫
That’s because it is a STUPID SYSTEM!!!!
It's total.garbage and it will fail!
