Hi @Bri55,

Thanks for posting here in the community. I'm sorry to hear you cannot connect your Nest Thermostat to the app. Help's here!

To better understand the situation, I'd like to ask a few questions:

What kind of Nest Thermostat do you have?
What type of error message did you get?
Is your Nest Thermostat connected to a WI-FI Network?
Are you using the Google Home app or Nest app?
Can you control your Nest thermostat manually?

In the meantime, let's check this tip:

Check WI-FI Network: Ensure your WI-FI network is stable and strong. Try moving the Nest thermostat closer to your router for a better signal. Also, your phone and Nest thermostat need to be connected to the same WI-FI Network.

Keep me posted.

Best regards,

Melany

Hi Melany,

Google next learning thermostat gen 3 .

Error W5 code . Sits close to router .

I can control from thermostat. Also it connects to the heat link no problem.

I use the nest app.

System worked using phone app for the first 2 to 3 months . Now it will not connect to the phone app.

Connection to phone and other devices all good. Same network (Vodafone)

Regards,

Brian.

Hi there!

Thanks for the follow-up information. I appreciate your efforts so far.

Have a look at this guide:

Restart your Nest thermostat: Once your thermostat boots up you can continue to use it as before. Refer to this article: Troubleshoot a Nest thermostat w5 code.
Power readings: Check the power readings by going to Settings > Technical Info > Power on your Nest Learning thermostat and provide me with the VOC, VIN, and IIN values.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Melany
