Thermostat offline

ShanG — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 05:40:25 GMT

Hi,

I've seen a couple of posts from others about the nest thermostat going offline unexpectedly, but didn't get a clear response on a solution. The thermostat has been connected from both my spouse's phone and my phone for over 8 hours. We've troubleshooted, followed the steps, reset it and its come back online a couple of times. But within a couple of hours, goes back offline. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Hi ShanG,

Thanks for reaching out. I'd love to help.

Connection interference could cause your thermostat to go offline in the app such as Cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, and Baby monitors and other Wi-Fi devices.

A few questions: were there any instances that your thermostat shows low power? Also, how far away is your thermostat from the router?

Regards,

Jenelyn

Hi Jenelyn, my router is in a different room than the thermostat but the whole top floor is only about 1,100 sq feet and the router the same distance from the thermostat as its always been and this is the first time this has happened and we've had this setup for over a year. We checked the battery power, it still said it was good. I reset the termostat device itself and that seems to have worked.

I just got noticed that Nest is offline. It is -3° there! 🥶Is there anyway to fix this remotely?

I am having the same problem. My nest thermostat drops connection every few hours, but the physical device shows online. It shows back online in the app after physically checking the connection on the thermostat. Any advice?

Hi folks,

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry for the delay.

@ShanG and @Vijay81, could you please check your Nest Thermostat power readout by going to Settings then Technical Info?

@Kristikerickson, unfortunately you have to troubleshoot the thermostat with full physical access to it.

Best,
Jenelyn

Yes, I feel like I'm all out of options. The issue is not with the actual hardware, as the Nest shows it's online. However, the app consistently shows it's offline, unless I physically go to the Nest and select the network (that it is already connected to).

I checked voltage, all good. I checking wiring, all good. I even deleted and reinstalled the app, and hard reset the Nest itself.

Nothing works

Hi Jake -

I went through the trouble shooter (twice) with no luck.

The only way the app shows the thermostat is online is if I go into wifi on the thermostat and select a wifi that it is already connected to. Once I do that, the app shows the thermostat online.

The connection only lasts a few hours before the app reverts back to showing offline, even though he thermostat shows it's online.
