Installation Orientation

ScottJE — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 22:13:20 GMT

Can the Nest Thermostat base be installed horizontally? I know it kind of defeats the purpose of the leveling bubble, but it would be nice to get one of the screws into solid wood (a stud). Thanks in advance.

I guess you can but everything is going to be sideways not too sure if nest has any function that asks for it to be installed leveled. Couple anchors would help really no need for the screws to be in a stud anchors in drywall is good enough. Good luck
