Can't control Thermostat temperature from the App

Jon75 — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 14:03:31 GMT

In my Nest App I can only change my setting to 'Home' or 'Away. I can't control the temperature any longer nor when the heat comes on or off - I can't even see the options on the App to do this.

Hello folks,

I'm sorry to hear that you can't control your thermostats. It appears that you lost access to it in the Nest app, but I'm happy to help.

Please ensure that you are logged in with the correct email address for your thermostats. If so, try checking for other available structures where your thermostats might be connected. Here's your guide on how to switch home structures and let us know how it goes.

Best regards,

Mark

Hi Edward

i still can’t see anything different I’m afraid. I am logged in on the app. It has my basic details and I can switch the thermostat from ‘home’ to ‘away’, but I can’t do anything else with that thermostat. I have the option to add new products or a new home, but nothing regarding the settings on the thermostat already installed.

The thermostat is actually at a another house that we use for holiday lets, so I’m not there at the moment, but the house is going to be vacant for a while soon so I’d like to be able to control the heating during that period.

Hi Jon75,

Thanks for the response. What you're seeing on the app means that your Nest Thermostat is not added to the app. We would need to have access to it physically to add it to the app. You can click on this link to learn about adding your Nest Thermostat to the app.

Thanks,

Edward

I have the same problem. I've even deleted the app and reinstalled it and to no avail. It's been like this for over a year and I'm getting really frustrated as when we leave for holidays, the house thinks we are away and the heat turns off to the house basically freezing out our tenant. I reluctantly let him in the main house to turn up the temp when we are away... not ideal.

What is the customer service #? I just want to talk to somebody.

Re: Can't control Thermostat temperature from the App

kbitten — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 19:58:01 GMT

I called the customer service # and they were great. Got me back up and running. The problem was the the email that I used to set up the original Nest app account was under an old email that I had no access to anymore. They walked me through resetting my Nest thermostat by deleting the old Nest app connection and re adding with my current email. Once I did this I can now change temp by using Nest app. Hurray!

H there. Would you be able to share the customer service number with me? I think I might have the same issue, but I'm not sure. Many thanks

Hi Mark

I’ve not called customer service yet because I had guests staying at the house in question and didn’t want to cause any issues whilst they were there. I will call them this week. I’m sure it’s an email address issue that’s causing it.

many thanks

Hi Jon75,

Thanks for responding. I understand that you haven't had a chance to contact our team verbally. You can still try looking for the email address that might be associated with the thermostat and sign in on the Nest app even if you're not physically there. Please keep us posted, as I would be glad to know what the result would be.

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark

The customer service number above does not get me through to a member of your team. It just sends me to another web page. Can you confirm the number I need to call to solve the issue I'm having? I know the email I registered with, but it's ever since Google took it over that I'm having issues, so I suspect it's something to do with my Google account?

Hello Jon75,

I appreciate your effort in trying to reach out to our team. If your thermostat does not appear on the Nest app's home screen. Either your thermostat is no longer linked to the account you signed in with or you used a different email address to link it. You can verify if your thermostat is still connected to an account by going to your device settings and navigating to "Nest App." Also, the phone number shared above is correct, but you can try this form by filling it out so you would have the option to choose either chat support or phone support.

If there’s anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Regards,

Mark
