Display not working

Jen022 — Sat, 24 Sep 2022 16:00:41 GMT

We just moved into a house with Nest thermostat. I connected to the Nest app but the display reads, “Added to your account” use the Nest app to continue setting up your thermostat. But it looks like it is set up in my account.

@Jen022

This is a community forum, where most replies and comments come from other customers, who probably need a little more information in order to respond to your situation. For example, your title says "Display not working"; what does that mean? How does it look like your account is set up?

This is Google Nest's beginner's guide for thermostats:

The previous owner needs to have removed the thermostat from their account:

And then a factory reset should have been done:

Hi folks,

@MplsCustomer, thanks for the help!

@Jen022, thanks for reaching out. I'd love to know more about this and I have a few questions::

What type of Nest Thermostat do you have?
Is the display of your Nest Thermostat not responding?
Have you tried removing the display and putting it back in?

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Edward

A Learning thermostat. It seems to be working but now my app won’t work with it. My app says the device is off line, it was switched off on the device. When I check the device it is connected to WiFi.
Thanks!

Hi Jen022,

Thanks for the response. If your Nest Thermostat is connected to your Wifi but still showing offline on your app, it's possible that it's not paired to your account. Please follow the steps on this link to add your Nest Thermostat to your Nest app.

Thanks,

Edward
