Quick question how did it work all this while without c wire? mine worked for three years now low battery..heat & cold and i’m seeing no c-wire as i open it
Thanks for this video. I do have the same setting, however I also do have a wire going to Rc. Yet, my Nest keeps losing charge. Would this work with my setup as well, i.e. plugging the power adapter in C and Rc (together with the red wire that's already there)?
Hi. Am I able to buy the batter pack? If so, where can I buy one? I have the same as in the video. It doesn’t take regular batteries. I haven’t taken the second plate off where battery pack is. Thank you. Had no idea I could temporarily charge it. I’m doing it now, but have to get a real battery pack. Thanks again.
@@dancable1378 that blue wire in the bundle could have been used as a common wire for the thermostat so the furnace would send/charge proper voltage to the thermostat
Unfortunately, this is not the solution for the eventual death of all Nest thermostats. I already had a C-wire setup for mine, and the battery will still eventually wear out. Then, because this product is monumentally incompetent and irresponsible, you get to THROW IT AWAY. The aftermarket batteries get terrible reviews, and you don't want a fire risk in your wall. Do yourself a favor and get a $30 proper programmable thermostat and go on with your life.
@@chich40z I got a Honeywell. Make sure you get one with a backlight; I have a different one elsewhere in the house and it's a pain in the ass because it doesn't.
I'm done with nest as well. I need a recommendation for a new thermostat. Had Nest for 4 years and my thermostat finally went out, won't keep a charge at all and it's completely dead.

Woah…I thought the low battery situation was a situation where I need to charge it and pop back on…🤦🏾♀️this is a lot.

Can we connect thermostat to external power supply of 24V 1A without HVAC system for testing purpose only??
Thank you!!

Why or when did you rule out a power supply from the heater?
he didnt have a common, he had one in the bundle he couldve used, but there was no common hooked up. thats why it wasnt charging.
Can you share the link to the transformer?
where do i buy the bridge - black wire
Any piece of wire will work. It’s also possible to use a twist tie, when it it has metal inside.
You had another wire in the thermostat bundle you could've used lol
Which wire could he have used?

Which $30 programmable thermostat do you recommend?

@@xg0ob3rx Just get a basic programmable one with a backlight. You can do separate weekday & weekend programs, and go about your life in peace.
