Will this mess of wires work with nest?

Every time I need to recharge my wireless Nest cams I go through an insane routine of trying different outlets, cleaning the charging contacts, and applying more or less pressure when I insert the charging cable. Then, anywhere from 5-20 minutes later, they will randomly start charging.

The charging contacts are clean, the temperature is nominal, and my outlets supply standard power. I've also read that the reset button helps, but neither a short nor a long press does anything for me.

Is this a known faulty product or charging cable? Why such a customized charging cable head in the first place? Why are there four male pins on the charging cable head but 6 female contacts on the cam?

The only other thing I can think is that if the battery is fully dead then there's no way for the device to indicate that it's charging until some time later. Advice appreciated, especially recommendations for alternative wireless cameras.

Constantly get the error message whenever I try to use the app, and then even though I have the schedule set for the water to heat up each day, it says off until Saturday? Seems like a terrible product so far! Moved into a house with it and thinking of changing it to Hive

I have had 3 Nest Protects for 9 years that have worked well. One of them recently disconnected from my network and the Nest/Google app and when try to reconnect it I get the error:

"Something Went Wrong. The app is having trouble connecting to the assisting Nest product. Make sure you're close to it, that it's online and that your phone is connected to the same WI-FI network. P024(4078)."

I tried multiple times, resetting the Nest Protect, I'm on the same 2.4 GHz network, etc. The message says it's trying to use one of the other Nest Protects for setup and that didn't work.

I tried removing all 3 Nest Protect from the Nest app. When I try to add them back, I can add any 1 Nest Protect fine, but when I try to add a second Nest Protect I get the error message above.

I have also tried:

• Resetting all Nest Protects
• Using a 2.4 GHz network
• Moving all 3 Nests next to the router
• Using multiple iPhone and iPads
• Turning off/on bluetooth during setup
• Checking router settings for things like IPv6 and mDNS

I can still connect any single Nest Protect but I can't connect more than one because it tries to use the connected Nest Protect for assistance.

Is there any way I can add all 3 Nest Protects without it trying and failing to get help from one of the other Nest Protects? Any other suggestions on how to get all 3 Nest Protects connected again?

So I don't know if it is glitching or not but I have a Nest Thermostat that has been in our house for 10+ years. It has worked perfectly for all those years, until of course this morning. Our furnance is about 12 years old armana, with NO AC.

When I came out it was showing me that I have new hardware or wiring. The picture that came up showed that there was W1/W2-AUX/C and Rh, while (per the image above) I only have W1/G/Rh connected. I just yepped through it while not thinking too much. It then started the heat on the furance. Even though I had temperature set to 16C and the house temp was 22C.

I have tried a factory reset but that hasn't worked. I don't know what to do. Do I need a new thermostat or is there something I can do to fix it?

Thanks Reddit!

We recently changed our AC system and with the Nest thermostat it keeps shutting off our AC when we want to keep it at 71 degrees so our house will get hot up to 80 degrees. Is there a way to get it to stop shutting off? I absolutely hate this damn thing and wish my dad didn’t change our old system. I’m tired of waking up sweaty and overheated just because of Nest “money saving” thing it has.

Any idea what could be wrong with this? Every wire looks connected

Hi!! We bought a house and took over the existing nest system a year ago however recently the fire alarm/co2 has been beeping once every 60 seconds which was never a problem. We ended up changing the batteries and all was fine for 1 month and now we are in the same system where it’s beeping once every minute???

See all five of my camera suddenly got these weird black boxes over the circle, there was no app update as far as I know, and it is mostly aethestic but still irritative. Anyone knows how to reverse them back to normal? I tried force stop, clear data, clear cache, reinstall app, restart phone, and pretty much short of reset the phone. I swear Google is doing their best to destroy the legacy app and ave people move to Google Home.

Phone: Samsung Z Fold 8 Ultra

Previous and new (Nest) wiring setup pics included.

No C wire, so had to install the Power connector and external AC unit.

The AC (cooling) turns on without issue. When activating heating or fan, Google Home app displays as active, but furnace doesn't respond at all.

The wiring at the Power Connector end matches the Pro installation guide for Heating and Cooling (6A), however, case shown in 6D also applies because of the absent C wire, so the external 24VAC is also wired between R and C terminals in the Power connector unit (jumper is removed too!).

It is confusing because the external AC transformer is exemplified for a heating-only connection, with the W wire to the power connector, but the heating-cooling wiring jumps W directly to the furnace.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Just happened to me, model 06A smoke alarm, took it down after it started beeping and didn't respond to the button press. Side felt hot but figured was just a warm C02 sensor, batteries all felt warm then i hit the one hot enough to cook an egg and it flattened my fingerprint like the side of an old all metal toaster when i touched it (didn't know it was gonna be hot like that).

Ended up having 2 of the cells be to hot to touch with one of them worse then the other. I saw the 5 year old post that's still open with people reporting the exact same thing every few months.

How is this not a recall worthy issue? Imagine a smoke alarm that causes a fire how idiotic would that be. As for the cells they are still climbing in temperature so they've been placed in a metal bucket outside in a safe spot. We'll see if they level off or vent and flame.

I have a Trane 2 Ton Heat Pump (5HPL5024A1000A) and Air Handler (5TEM4B02AC21SA).

Is the attached wiring correct?

We added AC to our house and the AC tech is insisting that the White wire should be in OB but everything I read says the White wire should be in W2 AUX?

Thanks

Has anyone had a problem with their thermostat not reading the temp accurately and having a huge delay with trying to wake the screen ?

I noticed yesterday my screen wasn’t tuning on when I walked by so upon further investigation when it did “wake up” it was reading 79 inside although it felt like the normal 73-74 I set it to plus the air was running. I have another thermometer inside to test the temp inside my house which confirmed it’s 73 degrees inside. Within 3-5 minutes the thermostat corrected itself and read 74 degrees. I unplugged it from its base for maybe 2 minutes and again once I plugged it in it read 81 degrees and quickly corrected itself after cutting on the air.

This morning I reset to factory settings which did fix the delay at first but it was still reading the temp was higher than it actually is by 5-6 degrees and quickly fixed itself as long as I keep waking the screen which now is taking progressively longer to wake up even if I turn the dial.

Should I just go buy another nest ? Or does anyone have any suggestions ?

Note: the WiFi did quit working on it months ago but that wasn’t a deal breaker for me at the time as long as it worked manually

I had 3 Nest Protect in my home. 1 has expired so I switched it to a SC5 and had planned to do that with the other 2. Unfortunately, I had a false alarm at 1am with the SC5 and after reading all the reviews with false alarms, I'm no longer comfortable using their product. (We never had a false alarm in the 10 years we had our Nest Protect)

My 2nd Nest Protect has just expired and the 3rd one expires next year so I am thinking of replacing the upstairs and downstairs with the Kidde and leaving the main floor as is until it expires next year. Are they compatible though?

My thermostat will not turn on the fan for circulation anymore. The fan works for heating and cooling, but it will not work to just circulate air anymore. When I tell it to run the fan and click "START", a timer starts but nothing happens.

I did a thermostat restart, to no avail. Any other ideas?

Had a humming sound coming from my nest 3 so I went and bought a nest 4 with the same outcome. I live in an apartment and haven’t noticed it till yesterday. Power and battery look fine and wiring looks good to me. Will this cause problems down the line?

Hello all!

I had an electrician come and install two Nest Thermostats last night.I'm having issues though;first - the wires connected on the diagram are:

Y1 (cool)

W1 (heat)

G (fan)

C (24V Common)

and RC/RH are connected into 1 from what I'm gathering.

at first, when I turned on cooling, it was blowing hot/warm air.So I was told to flip the Y1 and W1 wires -this solved the hot air coming out when turning on cool.

However, even on cool mode, it only seems like the FAN is engaged, and the air coming out is just ambient air, as it's insufficient to cool down the unit. I left it on all night, started at 21 degrees (celcius, I'm in Canada) and woke up to 21 degrees (I was also checking throughout the night).

I was then suggested to try switching the rh (which it was initially connected to) to rc - still nothing.

Any possible solutions or suggestions that you guys may have had?My building uses a Geothermal hvac system.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated

So I'm moving out from my mom's place and so far I've taken care of the Google Home app.
I want to leave the household but the subscription is on my account and my creditcard. What happens to that if I leave? It runs until February 17th, does the subscription stay with my mom's household and then she needs to renew it herself? Does she lose the benefits the moment I leave? And if so, where do the remaining months go to? Do I get to assign it to a household that I am part of?

Sorry, forgot to say I have a Google Nest 3.7 thermostat.

What does everyone think about that "Peak Time" thing? I don't like it because when the time is up and it is supposed to set the temp back to what it was, it always goes either too high or too low.

Like we have ours set on Heat/Cool. It's set to 65/74. Peak Time sets it from 3pm-9pm at 64/75. When it's 9pm, I check because I'm freezing and it says 73. If I leave it alone or forget to change it back, within a few days it will get all the way to 72 or 71 for the AC. I have to constantly go and turn off the Peak Time and put it back on what it was. I finally got tired of it and just turned off "Time to Temperature" settings on my Nest app.

Does it actually help anything? And if so, how do I fix it to where it puts the temp back on what it was set on when it's finished?

I’ve had 4 of the latest gen 4 Nest thermostats in my house for a year. They still won’t follow a damn schedule.

On the advice of the internet, last weekend I turned off all “smart” features, and then deleted and recreated the schedules.

Still the same behavior. My living room will randomly be down at 72 even though I have it in the schedule at 74 in the daytime. Similar issues across all thermostats. Nobody in my home is touching them.

I’ve seen reports of this from others on the internet. Is there a legitimate solution to this, other than tearing them out and replacing them with something cheaper and less nice looking but which actually works?
