NEST app key for new phone

AlfTupper1 — Sun, 18 Dec 2022 12:03:47 GMT

Hi - there are a number of queries posting here with this question and I note there are no support answers.

Given its over 70 years since we put a man on the moon using slide rules, I'd have thought Google had facilitated a way to add a learning thermostat to the app when one has a new phone.

Given there's an existing account, there is no new installation and therefore no key is shown within settings.

How do I fix this please?

Grazie mille.

(How about in app 'If you have a new phone, click here')

Hey there,

I wanted to follow up and see if I could be of any help. I would recommend doing a reset on the device, then adding that back to the app. Please let me know if you are still having any trouble from here, as I would be happy to take a closer look and assist you further.

Best regards,
Jake

Hi - I did the reset on thermostat having been assured it would not disconnect from the boiler.

It did disconnect from the boiler.

My thermostat will not now reconnect to the heat link, with or without the key, and this is the second time and second thermostat that has done this. I am using a replacement sent to me by Google. (How about just sending a box of them so I don't have to bother you again?)

So no, the problem isn't fixed, its worse than it was when I started. Should I just ask for my money back now? I don't need an app on my phone, I do need a thermostat that works.

Thank you for all the information. I am sorry to hear you are facing difficulties with your device. I would be happy to try and assist.

First, what is the LED status of the Heat Link. Are the LEDs completely off or do you have 1 or more on? If on, what color?

Hi @AlfTupper1. Just checking in, how's it going with your thermostat? Did you manage to read my colleague's message?
