Incorrect temp reading on nest

Celine — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 00:25:44 GMT

I just installed the nest thermostat and it says the inside temp is 77. This is off by at least 10 degrees. How do I re-calibrate it?

Thanks for the reply but it did not help solve the problem. Is my Nest device defective?

I would also like a solution to this dilemma as I am having the same issue.

I’m having same issues. Nest shown 76, and 3 separate thermometers show 60. Nest shuts off at night and never turns on till morning. All learning modes are off, it’s running as a dumb thermostat now set to 72 but fails over night, every night and temp keeps showing off temps.

I had to completely reset my nest, blow out all “auto” functions and set it at 71. It doesn’t learn now, it can’t go into away, but it works.

To add insult to injury they have offered to mail me a replacement, a refurbished item........ they want to replace me <30 day old item with a used one......

I regret getting a nest thus far.

Having the same issue on a new programmable model. Any resolution aside from reset and/or replace? Seems they have unresolved firmware issues.

Exact same issue here, I have 4 nest thermostats in one house, one in another. All 5 thermostats not reading properly. I'm loosing favor of this Nest Thermostat, perhaps time to move to another brand focused on problem solving.

I just started having this issue as well. Anyone get a solution yet?

Not yet. But fyi, to make matters worse, my E Thermostat was recently flagged and partially disabled by Google remotely, unbeknownst to me, code error citing the use of 3rd party power supply to provide the required 24v common connection in my 2 wire multi zone setup. Aside from room temperature reading being off, it was working perfectly for months as I could just compensate by the 10 or so degrees, just sacrificing leafs earned… whatever. Now it’s pretty much restricted to simple analog operations only, no network, no scheduling programmability, pretty much equivalent to my old mercury, with an LCD screen… even after master reset, just laughable. I am naively following their instruction, ordering their $25 common adapter, will attempt to resurrect it… and will post another update on how it all goes.

Same issue as everyone here. When the furnace is running, it's usually fairly accurate after 20-30 minutes. But when I leave the house, it's close to 20F off. 20 degrees!!! That's outrageously bad. The first day it was installed, I rushed home because it was set to 56 while I was at work, and it was continuously reading warmer and warmer in the house. I as worried my furnace was stuck on. When I got home, it was reading 77F inside but it was really about 58. How did they mess this up so badly?

Same issue. How to fix this issue? Does google even care about their products?

They don't care. After talking with 7 people, they told me to disconnect my account, which ends up disconnecting wifi. They said they have a known problem where the wifi chip overheats, heating up the temperature sensor. That seems to be the case for me. How stupid is that?
