Nest thermostat

Just moved into a house that had nest already installed, I've downloaded the app to set it up but I can't link up the thermostat to my app as it is registered with the old home owner. Would reseting the thermostat to factory settings resolve this?

Yes, you'll need to reset it first. Try these steps:

On the thermostat, press it to open the quick view menu, tap the Settings cog > Reset > All Settings.
Once reset, on the Nest app home screen, tap the Settings cog.
Tap Add product. The app will switch to a camera view to scan the thermostat’s QR code.
On the thermostat, press it to open the quick view menu and tap the Settings cog.
Turn the ring to select Nest app and press to open it.
Select QR code. Your thermostat will show you a unique QR code to scan with the app.
Follow the remaining steps in the Nest app.

Hi Edward,

I did what David had suggested and it all worked out perfectly, I was able to get the app linked up and connected to my account.
