Call customer service and they admit it's defective but won't send a replacement until you've completed their unfair and unduly burdensome "replacement policy." Under the policy, you have two options. First, send in your defective thermostat and upon Google's confirmation that it's indeed defective (despite customer service having already conceded that it is), you will get a replacement shipped in "7-10 days." But in the meantime, you and your family have no thermostat or heating. Second option is Google sends a replacement "within 2 to 5 days." Catch is they place a $250 "hold" on debit card or credit card, which is allegedly reversed once you send them the defective thermostat and they receive it. All of this despite the exact type of thermostat being available on Amazon for only $190 with free Prime shipping. Also despite the fact that you've already dropped close to $300 at the time of purchase. So now you've tied up about $550 of your hard earned money on a "smart" thermostat that doesn't work. Sounds pretty "dumb" to me.</P><P>Bye bye Google, you've lost a loyal customer.</P> Sun, 13 Oct 2024 17:08:38 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Thermostats/NEST-THERMOSTAT-IS-JUNK-AND-GARBAGE-AND-SO-IS-GOOGLE-AND-ITS-CUSTOMER/m-p/649194#M126337 Sacristan91 2024-10-13T17:08:38Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Thermostats/NEST-THERMOSTAT-IS-JUNK-AND-GARBAGE-AND-SO-IS-GOOGLE-AND-ITS-CUSTOMER/m-p/649303#M126366 <P>same issues, story...</P> Mon, 14 Oct 2024 02:27:09 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Thermostats/NEST-THERMOSTAT-IS-JUNK-AND-GARBAGE-AND-SO-IS-GOOGLE-AND-ITS-CUSTOMER/m-p/649303#M126366 earg25 2024-10-14T02:27:09Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Thermostats/NEST-THERMOSTAT-IS-JUNK-AND-GARBAGE-AND-SO-IS-GOOGLE-AND-ITS-CUSTOMER/m-p/649338#M126371 <P>Where did you purchase?</P> Mon, 14 Oct 2024 12:38:07 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Thermostats/NEST-THERMOSTAT-IS-JUNK-AND-GARBAGE-AND-SO-IS-GOOGLE-AND-ITS-CUSTOMER/m-p/649338#M126371 Frustratedddd 2024-10-14T12:38:07Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Thermostats/NEST-THERMOSTAT-IS-JUNK-AND-GARBAGE-AND-SO-IS-GOOGLE-AND-ITS-CUSTOMER/m-p/649344#M126376 <P>Home Cheapo...I think</P> Mon, 14 Oct 2024 13:40:45 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Thermostats/NEST-THERMOSTAT-IS-JUNK-AND-GARBAGE-AND-SO-IS-GOOGLE-AND-ITS-CUSTOMER/m-p/649344#M126376 Sacristan91 2024-10-14T13:40:45Z
